Recently, the ‘greatest athlete of the century’ took on a deeply personal hurdle: her post-childbirth body image. In a candid Instagram post, Serena invited her followers into her intimate journey of self-care, showcasing a cutting-edge procedure aimed at smoothing out her birthing scars.
In the video, the retired tennis legend is seen lying on an exam table, a smile on her face as a technician methodically glides an ultrasound-like wand over her abdomen.

A tighter, more rejuvenated skin surface, and for Serena, a boost in self-confidence.
The backdrop for this pampering session was as glamorous as the athlete herself—Paris. During a well-deserved getaway in the City of Light, Serena’s thoughtful friends gifted her a day at the renowned Maison Lutétia spa. Understanding her insecurities about her postpartum tummy, they orchestrated a perfect blend of relaxation and rejuvenation.
Serena’s revelation is more than skin-deep. In her post, she candidly shared the ongoing struggle with her body’s changes since giving birth.

Yet, the procedure isn’t about erasing the past. Serena embraces her scars, cherishing them as symbols of the two greatest victories of her life—her children. “I will always love my birthing scars,” she wrote, “but I just wanted to say thanks to my friend Mia and Nat for letting me know it’s ok to take time for myself away from work and kids.”
In classic Serena style, she wraps up her message with a nod to the wonders of modern science. “The power of technology … it can do anything these days!” she quipped, a testament to her ever-present wit and resilience.
This deeply personal and relatable glimpse into Serena Williams’ life underscores her vulnerability and strength, inspiring her fans to embrace self-care and self-acceptance.
