Underarm skin looks "gathered" after lipo. Will it smooth out?

It is normal to have irregular skin after liposuction especially in area where the skin is very soft such as arms, stomach and inner thighs. Initially there is a lot of swelling, after the first week or two, the swelling starts decreasing and there can be a lot of lumpiness from early scar tissue formation. Wearing a compression garment for 3 to 6 weeks encourages maximal skin shrinkage for a smooth result. Many plastic surgeons also recommend myofacial release or lymphatic drainage types of deep tissue massage therapy to enhance the results. Talk to your plastic surgeon about what steps you can take to maximize your results.

That is the nrmal result when you take away the fat that is supporting the skin and the skin is unable to contract. Sounds liike you should have done a brachiioplasty or arm lift. But don't jump into more surgery for at least 3 months to see if your skin can still contract. Just don't be surprised if it can't.
