Selena Gomez proudly showed off her kidney transplant scar in a swimsuit snap she shared on Instagram.
The singer went through a procedure back in 2017, where she received the organ donation from her friend, Francia Raisa. Posing in a baby blue one-piece swimsuit by La Mariette, Gomez stood with her right leg on the rock, as she flung her arms in the air and showed off her scar.
She made a statement about body confidence in the caption. “When I got my kidney transplant, I remember it being very difficult at first showing my scar,” she told fans. “Now, more than ever, I feel confident in who I am and what I went through, and I’m proud of that.”
She also praised La Mariette co-founder in her caption. “Congratulations on what you’re doing for women, launching @lamariette whose message is just that… all bodies are beautiful,” Gomez added.
The star first revealed about her kidney transplant back in 2017, and revealed that she went through surgery after lupus impaired her kidneys.
