Talking
about her condition, Addie's mum said 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.
Dr.
Dubrow asks: What happened?"
"They told me that
it was a Siamese twin. But I never got to see it because they always kept it
wrapped. They wouldn’t let me see it." "They probably knew that the
twin wasn’t viable. And in your condition, having just delivered, they probably
didn't want to upset you."
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.
Explaining how he planned to change Addie's life, Dr Dubrow explained the procedure;

"Yes," an emotional Addie replies before the doctors tell her they hope they can help.
Explaining how he planned to change Addie's life, Dr Dubrow explained the procedure;
"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."
This is what the
doctors were able to do...and Addie was happy with the result
