“I was horrified, but also confused,” she continued, adding that she wasn’t sure if she should file a lawsuit because she didn’t want to talk about her “female roles” and be on the front page of every newspaper.
Shields was not happy with the results

The former Calvin Klein model said she wasn’t happy with the results, but even if she was, her body was “surgically altered” without her consent.
“This man surgically altered my body without my consent,” she wrote. “And he thought he was doing me a favor by introducing the ‘bonus procedure’?” The sheer bile of it infuriated me.’
As a child actress, Shields was over-sexualized in films like Beauty at the age of 11 and The Blue Lagoon at the age of 14.
“The fact that the most intimate parts of my body were in the public eye for so long … that was enough,” she said. “All I could think was, ‘Why doesn’t everyone leave my wig alone?’ (Even as I write this, I know this is going to be a headline-grabbing moment. Whatever it is. Women deserve all the information.)”

Shields added that she wasn’t happy with the results when she took the lead, and the unwanted procedure didn’t add to her satisfaction.
Shields’ husband was also angry
Shields wrote in the book that she never spoke to the doctor again and was traumatized by the unwanted procedure. She also noted that when she told her husband, Chris Henchy, he was also angry about the unwanted procedure.
“I never took any action against this doctor. I never even talked to him about it, partly because I began to doubt myself,” she wrote.
“Wonder if he’s right that I’m lucky. Or maybe I thought it was a necessary improvement for my man, who was secretly unhappy but would never dare broach the subject of my “whores down there?” It’s crazy to me that these ideas came into my head.”

She continued: “What’s even crazier is that I didn’t even discuss it with my husband until later. I can’t remember why I finally told him, but he was almost as angry as I was. He had no right to do what he did, and if it happened to me now, I would make my own big headline and spread it all over the place. That’s what I think at this age, and I like him a lot more.”
