Growing up in Orange County and
seeing so many people having surgery, it never seemed like a big deal to me.
'Out here cosmetic surgery is a
normal part of everyday life. Since I had my boob job all my friends tell me
that I look great.'
'I didn't want to go too big and I
think this is my perfect size. You might not even know I'd had them done if you
didn't know me.'
Both women regularly have facial
peels and Botox at their dad's clinic, Cosmeticare Plastic Surgery Centre and
Med Spa, to reduce the chances of wrinkles.
Charm said: 'Every other month I'll
get something done to my skin. '
'I think Botox is important because
it prevents you from getting wrinkles. I also get Botox in my armpits, which
helps me stop sweating.'
Unsurprisingly the sisters, who were
adopted by Michael and wife Penny as babies, have attracted criticism about
their decision to cosmetically alter their appearance.
However, the girls say they have
valid reasons for making the most of their dad's skills.
Brittani, a make-up artist, said: 'I
was totally flat chested so I just wanted to feel more comfortable in my own
skin.
'When I first told my parents I
wanted my breasts done I was about 15. I knew I had to wait until I was 18 but
I was nagging them about it all the time.
'When I graduated high school Dad
surprised me by saying, "I've scheduled you in to have your boobs done
next week". I was so excited.
'It's the best thing I've ever done.
I love my boobs now - they're perfect.'
But for some people having an intimate
cosmetic produce done by their dad is a little too close to home.
Brittani said: 'Some people say,
"Isn't it weird that your dad has seen your breasts?" and I say no.
'First of all I'm his daughter and
he's seen me naked when I was a baby, so really who cares?'
'Secondly, he sees thousands of
boobs a year so a boob to him is just an object like a pen. It's just what he
does.'
And as ambassadors for their dad's
work, more and more young women are approaching Michael for cosmetic work.
Charm said: 'Almost all of our
friends have had procedures done by my dad, whether that's boob jobs,
liposuction, Botox or skin peels.

'If there are ten people in a room,
nine out of the ten people have had something done by my dad.
'Random people even will find me on
Facebook and will say, "oh are you Dr. Niccole's daughter? I was thinking
about getting this procedure done, can you help me?".
'I give their information to a
consultant. It's a family business so I'm contributing and so it's good.'
However, not everyone was thrilled
with the pair's enthusiasm for a quick fix.
Penny was initially opposed to her
daughters going under the knife to alter their appearance.
She said: "When Brittani first told me she wanted to get implants I I
fought it for a long time. I said, "no we're not doing this, this is not
right".
'But she was so insistent that
eventually I said "okay show me your breasts".
'Then I could see why she wanted
implants and realised it would be beneficial for her to get her breasts
enlarged, so I agreed.
'Now I can see she's so much more
confident and I think she looks great.'
But when Brittani again turned to
surgery a few years later to change her nose, Penny worried it was going to be
a reoccurring trend.
Penny explained: 'I didn't want them
to think they could just turn to surgery every time they didn't like something
about their appearance.
'And I worried that with it being so
readily available they could become addicted to plastic surgery.
'I told Brittani she was beautiful
the way she was - we always try to stress, beauty is within.
'I fought it for a long time but
when I saw how much she hated her nose, I gave in again.'
Last month Charm decided to have a
breast augmentation after exercise had reduced the volume of her chest.
She said: 'I work out like a fanatic
and I noticed my breasts got a lot smaller and I lost a lot of the volume in
them.
'Dad wouldn't do the surgery unless
I convinced my mum, so when I convinced her I had to sit her down a couple of
different times and really tell her that I was serious about it.'
Now the sisters turn heads
everywhere they go and are constantly recommending impressed women to their
dad's clinic.
Charm said: 'I went out to a
restaurant the other night and started talking about the procedures and
everything.
'My waiter actually wanted to come
in to get Botox, so I took down her number and I booked her appointment to come
in.
'In Orange County you are judged on
your looks. there's just so much pressure on everyone to look perfect
'If you go or a job interview in the
beauty industry, obviously the person who is better looking is going to get the
job - that's just how it is here.'
But despite the continued criticism
of their decision to have surgery, the sisters remain defiant.
Charm said: 'Because of the
criticism we have had for getting surgery done by our dad I realise people can
be pretty ignorant.
'People should understand that we
got procedures done because we didn't feel good about ourselves.'
And Michael can't deny that his
daughters polished appearance is good for business.
He said: 'There are people that
would critique me for doing a breast augmentation on my daughter at 18.
'But I've been doing surgery for 30
years and I wanted the best of care, which I feel I can deliver to my daughter.
'Nobody, nobody would treat my
daughter the way I would.
'I don't think I influenced my
daughters personally to have surgery, because we discourage it.
'But they have grown up in an
environment of beauty. Our cars are always immaculate, our house is immaculate
and all our friends are beautiful.
'You could say they were influenced
by that environment. They understand the importance of looking and maintaining
your beauty the rest of their lives
'I felt very, very comfortable doing
her surgery. And I would do it over again.
'The plastic surgical industry today
is a thousand fold compared to when I first started.
'Before it was very hush-hush but
these days people are having it and talking about it.
'People will come from all around
the world to the United States to have cosmetic surgery.'
'You go to South America, you go to
Argentina, I'll be you 50 per cent of the population have cosmetic surgery.'
