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 upon arriving at her Italian hotel for friends Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos’ wedding this weekend.

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.”
New York-based plastic surgeon Dr. Norman M. Rowe, M.D. told The U.S. Sun that the dent could be an “axillary hollowing.”
“An axillary hollowing is essentially a divot or indentation in the armpit area that can result from certain cosmetic procedures,” Dr. Rowe explained.
“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.
“While a cyst or an ingrown hair could technically create a lump or swelling in that area, they would rarely create this kind of indentation or volume loss.”
Fortunately for Kim, the hollowing could be easily corrected.
“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.
“It’s a quick outpatient procedure with a relatively easy recovery. Most patients are back to normal activities in a few days and see results over the course of a few weeks.”
Kim has never acknowledged any past plastic surgery, except for getting Botox injections to smooth out wrinkles.
READY FOR ROMANCE?
Kim just arrived in the Italian city to celebrate her close friend Lauren Sanchez‘s wedding to billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
She was spotted giving a close hug to the newly single Orlando Bloom, who is also a wedding guest this weekend.
As The U.S. Sun reported, Orlando has split from his partner of nine years, Kim’s pal Katy Perry.
According to reports, Orlando plans to “hit the dance floor hard” and be the “life of the party” this weekend.
Kim is single after dating Odell Beckham Jr. and Pete Davidson, following her divorce from Kanye West in 2021.
Her momager Kris Jenner and sisters Khloe and Kylie have joined her for the big wedding.
