What’s Going On With Kylie Jenner’s ARMPIT? Cosmetic Surgery Experts Analyze Mysterious Scar, Claim It’s Clue to What She ‘Had Done’
She is one of the most famous faces in the world.
But despite Kylie Jenner’s stunning looks and the fact that she’s a self-made billionaire, the 27-year-old A-lister is no stranger to criticism about her appearance.
Resurfaced photos from this year’s Met Gala reveal that Kylie, who is now in a relationship with Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet, has noticeably slimmer arms and a small scar in her armpit.
Social media users on online forums have accused her of having “multiple liposuction surgeries on her arms and back” to become “so thin.”
Others suggested that it was in fact a scar from her previous breast augmentation.

Others suggested it was in fact an implant scar from her previous breast augmentation. Pictured: Kylie at the 2023 Met Gala. Fans suggested her arms looked less toned than in more recent photos.
Now cosmetics experts also claim that the makeup mogul has indeed undergone liposuction.
Glasgow-based beautician Dr Usman Qureshi also claimed she may have undergone a similar procedure called BodyTite, which uses radio frequency energy to ‘melt’ fat and tighten the skin.
He told his 12,000 Instagram followers: ‘Have you seen Kylie Jenner’s arms?
‘She claims it’s just Pilates. I don’t think Pilates alone can do this.
“I think she’s had liposuction, bodytite or some similar procedure.”
In the UK, private liposuction surgery can cost between £2,000 and £6,000.
The operation, which usually takes a few hours, can sometimes be offered by the NHS to treat certain health conditions such as lymphoedema and lipedema.
This treatment removes unwanted body fat by inserting a tube under the skin and sucking out small pieces of fat.

After the bruising and swelling from the surgery have healed, the treated areas will visibly shrink. Recovery can take weeks.
BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure that is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional liposuction.
In this treatment, also called Laser Lipo, a small incision is made in the area to be treated, after which a special portable device is placed under the skin.
The device would emit radio frequency energy, causing fat cells to liquefy and surrounding tissue to tighten, while the liquefied fat is suctioned away.
Last year, Dr. Andrew Peredo, who specializes in facial aesthetic procedures, also suspected that Kylie had previously undergone liposuction on her jaw and buccal fat reduction in her cheeks.
He told MailOnline: ‘It’s hard to say because she went from a young-looking woman with a bit of baby weight on her face to a woman who is now a woman.
‘She could have taken a little buccal fat away from the cheeks to make them a little smaller.
“And she could also have had liposuction on her jaw to give her face a little more definition, but it’s hard to say.”

In January, after attending Paris Fashion Week, social media erupted over the makeup mogul’s “reinvention,” accusing her of looking like she was in her 40s
He also noted that her chin was now more pointed, which could be the result of surgery, and that her nose appeared “much thinner,” which could be the result of surgery or makeup contouring.
However, this isn’t the first time fans have questioned her dramatic change in appearance.
In January, after attending Paris Fashion Week, social media erupted in protest over the makeup mogul’s “reinvention,” accusing her of looking “in her 40s.”
One asked cruelly: ‘What has Kylie Jenner done to her face? I just read she’s only 26 but she looks so damn old here.’
Another — in a comment viewed 25 million times — said: “We’re seeing in real time what filler use does to you long-term as you age.”
Despite their popularity, surgeons have previously said that using fillers at a young age carries several risks, including stretched skin that sags sooner than normal.
But Kylie strongly denies ever having fillers put in her face.
Last year, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, she claimed she had “never touched her face.”
Yet in 2015, after months of intense internet speculation, then 17-year-old Kylie admitted to having injections to plump her lips, saying her thin lips were an “insecurity of mine.”
Kylie admitted to getting breast augmentation as a teenager, in addition to lip fillers, but she spoke about how much she regretted it.
In 2023 she said: ‘I obviously wish I had never finished them.
“I would advise anyone who is thinking about having children to wait.”
