KIM Kardashian has sparked online debate with a bizarre body detail fans are calling a "pitgina" in new photos from her trip to Venice. On June 26, Kim, 44, waved to onlookers in a tiny bandeau top Advertisement 6 Kim Kardashian, sister Khloe and their mom Kris Jenner arrived on June 26 to The Gritti Palace hotel in Venice, Italy, stepping off a speedboat to join Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding guests Credit: BackGrid 6 Fans spotted a strange dent in Kim's armpit area Credit: BackGrid 6 Kim later changed into a snakeskin dress to kick off the wedding festivities Credit: Getty Fans immediately spotted a concerning ripple on her underarm area. "Why does it look like a belly button?" one follower asked on a Reddit thread. "What is that? I'm terrified!" said a second. "What kind of 'pitgina' is that?" another replied, leading others to adopt the term- a combination of "armpit" and "vagina."

"The most common causes include liposuction to the upper arm or armpit, an arm lift or brachioplasty, or breast augmentation when the implant is placed through the transaxillary route—that is, through an incision in the armpit. "In these procedures, tissue is removed or repositioned in a way that can leave behind visible contour changes, especially in someone lean like Kim Kardashian.

"A correction would likely involve fat grafting—transferring fat from another area of the body and carefully injecting it into the hollow to restore a smoother, more natural contour," Dr. Rowe said.
