Brooke Shields is getting candid about aging in her new book, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman, which will be released on Jan. 15. In an interview with Us Weekly to promote the book, the actress discussed how a shocking surgery was carried out without her consent.
Shields revealed that in her 40s, her gynecologist recommended she underwent a surgical reduction of her labia, which had been causing pain and bleeding. "Of course, it's not covered by insurance because it's considered cosmetic, which is very interesting," Shields told the outlet.
