Brooke Shields Says She Needs “Lotions and Potions” to Enjoy Sex Life

Shields’ plastic surgeon performed “Bonus” Vaginal Rejuvenation

Another scary experience on Shields’ way to realize that doctors don’t always know best and she is her own best advocate for her body:

After Shields became a mother of two, she wrote, she chose to undergo a labial reduction–not for aesthetic purposes, but because she had been dealing with painful labia since high school, joking with her best friend who had the same problem that it was like “two little speedbags” between her legs.

However, it was still considered a cosmetic procedure, so Shields was referred to a male plastic surgeon in LA who was supposed to be the best.

It wasn’t until after the four-hour operation that the doctor told her that he was also taking the opportunity to give her “a little rejuvenation” there as well, because “everything is looser” after the delivery, Shields wrote.

She had had two C-sections, she told the doctor, but “he acted like he was doing me a favor.” Shields, in turn, was “appalled, but also at a loss,” she wrote, recalling that she “drove home in a stupor.”

The “bonus procedure” didn’t improve her sex life, Shields wrote, but even if she was happy with the results, she was still angry. She never took legal action, though, and at one point even wondered if she might have misread the whole situation and used to be good luck for the freebie.

But fast forward to now, she wrote, and “my response would not be so generous.”

In fact, she added, “My feeling is basically a giant middle finger. F–k that guy!”
