Despite putting up with pain and long-term recovery, the shape of their eyes, their nose, and even their faces are still noticeably different. Nonetheless, the sisters have no regrets for their obsession with changing appearances and have embraced their roles as plastic surgery ambassadors.
It all started because the sisters would be pitted against each other, something that they both hated and thus decided to undergo a series of same procedures to look like each other. However, when they realised that they had different beauty ideals, they went for different surgeries. Now after many surgeries, they claim that they understand that beauty standards are ever-changing and they don’t always have to follow them to feel good about themselves.
