Brooke Shields experienced an invasion of privacy!
The 59-year-old “Pretty Baby” actress has made some shocking claims about her plastic surgeon in her forthcoming memoir, “Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman.”
Shields revealed that she had labia reduction surgery in her 40s due to discomfort, chafing, and bleeding.
However, during a follow-up appointment, her surgeon informed her that he had performed vaginal rejuvenation without her consent while she was under anesthesia, calling it a “little bonus.”
“I’d be lying if I said I’m not embarrassed to share this very intimate information,” she wrote in her memoir, according to Us Weekly.
“But, if we are to change the way we approach and talk about women’s health, then we need to bring up the uncomfortable but very real issues.”
Shields noted that her surgeon seemed proud of this “twofer,” despite her initial reluctance to undergo the irreversible procedure.
Although she didn’t tell her husband, Chris Henchy, of nearly 24 years “for the longest time,” the former Calvin Klein model revealed that she’s going public with her story to raise awareness.
Shields stated that “shame is no longer an option” in her memoir.
The star is a mother to two daughters, Rowan Henchy, 21, and Grier Henchy, 18.
