How can I fix all this extra skin in my armpits? (photos)

Question

I havnt lost a lot of weight but have noticed it progressively getting worse, my skin on my armpits so loose. It almost looks like a vagina. How do I get rid of this excess skin so my armpit can go back to looking like an armpit and not a vagina?

Thank you for your question. Based on the pictures you appear to be good candidate for armpits lift and armpits liposuction.  I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Extra skin needs to be removed/cut out if it is hanging. The more extra skin you have, the longer the scar. The length of the scar is dictated by the amount of skin that needs to be removed. Please consult with a Plastic Surgeon to figure out what options are best for you.

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. I use VASER HI-DEF Liposculpture with ThermiRF, Renuvion, InMode BodyTite, and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned, sculpted arms. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear ImagineExtraordinary,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from removal of extra skin. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

You could have an axillary skin excision leaving a usually inconspicuous scar in your armpit. The scar would be in the same orientation as an armpit crease.
