Perrie Edwards’ body positive pic reminds fans to embrace their scars
It's amazing to see women sharing body positive snaps of their societally deemed flaws to inspire other women to feel good about themselves, but when a celebrity does it, the message can reach so far.
Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has taken to Instagram to share a very unique image, showcasing the scar she carries down her abdomen.
The scar came from a childhood operation that Perrie underwent.
'When I was little, my oesophagus was too small, so I had to get it operated on to help me eat properly,’ Perrie previously told Now.
‘I had to have lots of operations, so that’s why I don’t want to show it.'
