Vienna Rose Brookshaw was born with a birthmark. It wasn\u2019t just any birthmark, but a specific type of skin condition known as congenital melanocytic nevi. Although her parents loved every bit of their daughter, they worried about whether or not she would be bullied in life. As a result, they had a difficult decision to make, one that certainly caused a lot of controversy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Vienna was born with a large birthmark on her forehead, and between her eyebrows, her mom, Celine, worried that she may have somehow been responsible for the rare occurrence and immediately sought help getting the birthmark removed. Because this kind of procedure is often considered cosmetic, insurance wouldn\u2019t cover it. Celine and her partner Daniel were determined to prevent their baby from being ridiculed. \u201cWe went out daily with her, and we got a few stares.\u201d She disclosed. She also worried that Vienna might one day resent her and Daniel for not taking action when she was little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Birthmark Causes Conflict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe love seeing her grow on her journey, and we can\u2019t wait for the day that she does grow up and can speak for herself so we can hear her opinion, we\u2019d love her no matter what, even if we did keep the birthmark.<\/em>\u201d Explained Celine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some time, Celine and Daniel were able to get their baby the operation in order to remove her birthmark. The surgery was a success. However, the family still had more hurdles to overcome. They would spend the next several months traveling back and forth to have follow-ups, ensuring that Vienna\u2019s birthmark scar wasn\u2019t becoming infected, or a threat to her health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Outpouring of Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, she hasn\u2019t had any trouble thus far. Moreover, she\u2019s received an outpouring of love and support from her more than 45,000 Instagram followers. \u201cWhat a brave angel Vienna is!!\u201d Gushed one follower on a photo of Vienna, pre-surgery. <\/em>\u201cShe\u2019s going to have such a better life and easier growing up like that.\u201d Supportively shared another. A third exclaimed, \u201cShe was a beauty before, and now!\u201d <\/em>While a final person commented, \u201cShe will highly appreciate this when growing up, good job!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vienna was a happy baby, with a brave soul for undergoing such an invasive procedure. Although her parents made the decision to remove her birthmark for her, they do understand the public\u2019s concern regarding Vienna\u2019s autonomy. However, they\u2019ve move forward with making the decision they feel is best for their little one. Today, she is happy and healthy, and her scar has healed well, and will likely continue to fade over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
