Pop star Selena Gomez uploaded a photo on social media of herself wearing a swimsuit. In the caption, she wrote that she is proud of her surgery scar.
Selena Gomez took to Instagram on September 24, clad in a blue swimsuit. She stood between her hot tub and a humanmade creek and flung her arms upward.
In her caption, the 28-year-old wrote: "When I got my kidney transplant, I remember it being very difficult at first showing my scar."
She added, "Now, more than ever, I feel confident in who I am and what I went through…and I'm proud of that."
The "Rare" singer is setting out to help all her followers to do as such, regardless of what it is about themselves that they are less confident about, writing, "All bodies are beautiful."
Since 2013, Gomez has been battling lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease. As a result, she received a kidney transplant from her friend, Francia Raísa, in 2017.
"You are an amazing ambassador for everyone who is afraid to love them selves and deserves to be loved. I'm proud to say that my daughter admires a strong confident and courageous woman."
