Hollywood actress Brooke Shields has revealed that a male surgeon performed an unnecessary, invasive and irreversible “vaginal rejuvenation” procedure on her without her knowledge or consent. The 59-year-old movie star shared in an interview with US Weekly that the doctor proudly told her that during the operation for which she contacted him, he gave her a “bonus” – a narrowing of the vagina.
At the same time, Shields emphasized that she did not know that this procedure would be performed, did not intend to do it and did not give consent to it. According to the actress, she was shocked by the surgeon’s smug confession and stunned by his arbitrariness.
In an interview, the actress said that since her youth she suffered from irritation and bleeding due to the size of her labia, and when she was about 40 years old, her gynecologist said that she could undergo lip reduction surgery to solve these problems. Brooke decided to have the procedure, but was shocked when, after the operation, her male Beverly Hills surgeon told her that he had given her “a little bonus, two for the price of one” – and performed a vaginal “rejuvenation” procedure known as vaginal tightening. .
“It felt like an invasion, like a kind of rape,” the actress admitted. “Nothing indicated the need for me to be narrower, or to be smaller, stronger, younger – especially there.” Brooke Shields added that both she and her gynecologist were furious about the irreversible surgery. The actress shared that she was so ashamed and offended that for a long time she did not even tell her husband Chris Henchy about the experience.
Brooke Shields rose to fame as a child star in the 1970s with controversial film roles: at age 12 she played an underage prostitute in Pretty Baby, and at age 15 she played Emmeline in The Blue Lagoon. Sexualization has had a profound impact on Brooke Shields since childhood, and the actress talks candidly about it – including in her book Brooke Shields Isn’t Allowed to Age, which comes out next week.
