Selena Gomez confidently flaunts her kidney transplant scar in a blue swimsuit: I’m proud of that

Selena Gomez kisses inhibitions goodbye as she donned a blue swimsuit to flaunt her scar. The international singer, who recently collaborated with BLACKPINK on the song Ice Cream, poured her heart out as she revealed her scar from her kidney transplant. Sharing the photo, Selena confessed she wasn't confident about revealing her scar in the past. As a result, she would wear outfits to cover the scar so that it wasn't photographed. However, now she is confident about it and is ready for the world to see it. 

"When I got my kidney transplant, I remember it being very difficult at first showing my scar. I didn’t want it to be in photos, so I wore things that would cover it up. Now, more than ever, I feel confident in who I am and what I went through...and I’m proud of that," she wrote before she congratulated La’Mariette over the launch of their latest swimsuit wear.

For the unversed, Selena first opened up about her kidney transport in 2017. She revealed she underwent surgery after lupus impaired her kidneys. The singer revealed that her friend Francia Raisa volunteered to donate her kidney to the singer. "I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health," she said in the post. Speaking of Francia, Selena said, "She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis."

I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made.
