Selena Gomez Shows Off Her Kidney Transplant Complication Scars for the First Time

From Cosmopolitan

Today in “What’s Selena up to?” news, the newly single lady was photographed on a yacht off the coast of Australia, enjoying some time with friends. As one does whilst private yachting, Selena was in a bikini, which revealed a scar from the emergency follow-up procedure she had after her 2017 kidney transplant.

Both Selena and her BFF/kidney donor Francia Raísa have been vocal about how scary the complications on Selena’s end were. She remembers hyperventilating while waking up from the original surgery, only to find out her new kidney was turning around in her body.

Although Selena posted pictures of her actual transplant scar upon announcing she’d had the surgery, this is the first the world has seen the complications’ scarring. Her inner thigh scar is likely from removal of the femoral vein to rebuild an arterial connection to the newly transplanted kidney.
