Selena Gomez Looks 'Self-Conscious' In Skimpy Bikini While Sunkissed After Surgery

Selena Gomez dropped jaws with her figure as she slipped into swimwear for the first time after her 2017 kidney transplant. In 2018, the singer stunned in a mismatched bikini while soaking up the sun on a yacht, showing off her healthy-looking curves while in Sydney, Australia. Displaying her gorgeous figure in a red-and-black bikini that perfectly flattered her fit and curvaceous frame, Selena looked happy and healthy, although for some, she wasn't looking her most confident. Users largely supported the Rare Beauty founder, noting that she was fresh from a massive operation.

Scroll for all the photos. Smiling in some snaps and also sharing moments from her yacht outing on her Instagram, Selena sizzled in a skimpy, low-cut bikini top teamed with mid-rise, stringy briefs. Going bold in red up top, the 32-year-old flashed her ample cleavage and shapely shoulders, showing off her tummy naturally while flaunting her killer hips.

Photographed in the sun in some images and keeping busy aboard the yacht in others, Selena also topped up her tan during a quiet reading session. Here, the ex to Justin Bieber lay on her front, putting on a cheeky display as she bronzed her body. The Only Murders in the Building actress also wore a simple bun hairdo, going makeup-free while wearing stylish hoop earrings.

The images were shared on The Daily Mail and also on X. The latter brought in a largely supportive fanbase, inclusive of a remark reading: "You can see she is self-conscious, but she is still there. I have never been a huge Selena fan, but she is brave AF and I have to give it up to her."

The Daily Mail's viewers also supported Selena Gomez, who underwent her life-saving kidney transplant on account of her Lupus battle. The surgery had its complications, also resulting in a thigh scar where the surgeons had to go back in. Over 400 fans agreed when a user said:

"The anti-rejection medications following transplants can cause significant side effects and profound changes to the body. She should wear her scars and her marks with pride and enjoy the life she has been gifted." In the above selfie, Selena displayed some of her post-surgery weight loss, snapping a selfie in a tight black bathing suit.

By 2021, Selena Gomez was in her blonde era, plus her collab one. In the above selfie, she posed confidently in front of a mirror, modeling a banded, colorful bikini from La'Mariette. The pop star has largely made 2025 headlines for her weight loss, even sparking Ozempic rumors.
