Selena Gomez Claps Back at Plastic Surgery Speculation

Selena was diagnosed with lupus, an incurable autoimmune disorder that attacks tissues and organs, in 2014. Symptoms, such as joint pain, are felt during flares, or periods of increased disease activity. They can be reduced with medications, many of which come with side effects.

Selena, who underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 as a result of her lupus, has not specified what prescription drugs she takes for the disease. She addressed fan concerns over her health on TikTok in January, telling a fan, “I shake because of my medication of lupus.“

The “Calm Down” singer has long shared body positive messages amid years of criticism over her looks.

“Today I realized I’ll never look like this again,” Selena wrote on her Instagram Stories, also in January, alongside an old bikini shot of herself, before adding with a more recent snap: “I’m not perfect but I am proud to be who I am—sometimes I forget it’s ok to be me.”

Selena is among several celebs who have been candid about their past cosmetic procedures and treatments. See who else has spoken about the issue over the years…
