Sarah Hyland decided to get candid in a very emotional interview where she revealed the scars she acquired from her 16 surgeries. The 28-year-old actress shared that she had also experienced some suicidal thoughts after the failure of her first kidney transplant.

Sarah was required to go through a second kidney operation in 2017. During an interview with Self magazine, the 'Modern Family' star, who is well known for her role as Hailey Dunphy, got candid about her kidney dialysis and how she is not letting her surgery scars bother her. She referred to the area of her scars as KUPA — Kidney Upper P***y Area — and though she is healing, it is not easy for her to show it off.
