Brooke Shields blasts surgeon for giving her vaginal rejuvenation without consent
In a frank admission in her upcoming memoir, actress Brooke Shields has blasted a male surgeon for giving her a vaginal rejuvenation without the her consent.
Brooke Shields has blasted a male surgeon for giving her a vaginal rejuvenation without the actress’ consent.
The 59-year-old had experienced discomfort, bleeding and chafing since high school due to the length of her labia, and she has now spoken out against a medic she says threw in a “little bonus” during surgery on her private parts.
She says in her upcoming memoir ‘Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman’ she was recommended to undergo a labia reduction to fix her years of issues.
But she fumed she did not give consent about what happened in the operating room.
Brooke said after she went under the knife she had a checkup with her Beverly Hills surgeon, during which he “proudly” informed her he’d added “a little twofer” to which she hadn’t consented.
The male doctor had given the ‘Blue Lagoon’ star a vaginal rejuvenation, defined as decreasing the average diameter of the vagina, mainly for sexual reasons.
Brooke added in her book she was “dumbfounded” by the “irreversible” procedure, which she called an “invasion”.
She also compared it to a “rape of some kind”.
Brooke added in a chat with Us Weekly: “Nothing pointed toward this need to be tighter or smaller or firmer or younger, especially there.”
She did not tell husband Chris Henchy, 60, about the rejuvenation for “the longest time” as she felt “shame” over the experience.
The actress added she has now chosen to “share this very intimate information” with her fans despite it being “too graphic” or “too much information”.
Brooke said: “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. Shame is no longer an option.”
