Heartbreaking story of woman, 35, who has never had a boyfriend because of her conjoined twin buttock deformity
A 35-year-old woman who was born with a conjoined twin attached to her buttock has never had a boyfriend because of her condition.
Addie reveals that her deformity means she's never wanted to be intimate with anyone before and has barely had a social life because she was bullied.
Appearing on Botched By Nature, she's hoping that Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif can finally help fix it.
Talking about her condition, Addie's mum reveals she didn't know she had conjoined twins until Addie was born.
"I had an ultrasound and they didn’t see it. They just saw the one, healthy baby," she tells the doctors.
"So it must have been quite a shock when Addie was born and they suddenly scooped her away. What happened?" Dr. Dubrow asks.
Addie then reveals that her deformity wasn't that much of an issue until she reached her teens.
"When I got dressed for PE, the girls knew it. They noticed me. They started teasing me and started calling me hurtful names.
"The reason I’m so shy is because the bullying caused me to isolate myself from everyone. I didn’t want to get hurt anymore," she reveals.
She adds: "I’ve never really had a social life and when I dated it was more like a friendship. It was never an intimate relationship."
"I think it was because she was ashamed,” her mum adds.
"Is that true?"
"Yes," an emotional Addie replies before the doctors tell her they hope they can help.
Addie says she hopes to have a bum like Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez, but Dr. Dubrow says he can't promise that.
"I really want to help Addie to look normal but when she uses the examples of major celebrities who are known for that particular feature it really makes me want to manage her expectations so that I don’t disappoint," he tells camera.
"You’re not going to get a butt like her but if you get an improvement - will you be happy?" he asks.
Explaining the procedure, he says: "I really want to take the central concavity and just make it go away. My plan is to first perform liposuction on the flanks, next I’m going to have to make incisions on both cheeks, lift up the scar tissue and remove some skin.
"Then I will close the incisions in a way that will hide her scars by moving them towards the inner cleft and will get rid of the big dent on the right.
"Lastly, I will use the fat I took from the liposuction to fill any remaining concavity."
Dr. Dubrow then gets to work on Addie. After initially getting frustrated and struggling to fix the larger dent, he finally finishes the surgery and he's happy with the results.
Wow! congrats to her. lovely work doctor.
