Selena Gomez Shows Off Scar in Blue One-Piece: ‘I Feel Confident in Who I Am and What I Went Through

The singer opened up about embracing her body after her kidney transplant surgery.

Selena Gomez took a moment today to share a stunning photo of herself modeling a blue one-piece swimsuit from her friend Theresa Mingus’ La’Mariette swimsuit line—and to open up about her journey of accepting and embracing the scar she has from her kidney transplant surgery in 2017.

She captioned her photo, “When I got my kidney transplant, I remember it being very difficult at first showing my scar.

T – Congratulations on what you’re doing for women, launching @lamariette whose message is just that…all bodies are beautiful.”
