Plastic surgeon Dr Michael Niccole turns daughters into walking billboards
WE'VE heard of getting into the family business, but this is OTT. A plastic surgeon is turning his daughters into walking billboards. Boob jobs are just the start.
THE first time Charm Niccole went under her dad's knife was 15 years ago.
She was 10 and her plastic surgeon father was turning her bellybutton from an outie to an innie.
Her sister Brittani was comparatively slow to dad's operating table. She got a breast augmentation at 18, straight after finishing high school.
"Getting your breasts done is basically like getting teeth cleaning here," Brittani says, referring to California's Orange County, where the Niccole family lives.
"It's like abnormal for you not to have a breast augmentation out here."
The sisters, both aged 25, were adopted by Dr Michael Niccole and his wife Penny as babies, and have since become unofficial ambassadors for dad's line of work, according to Barcroft Media.
Charm explains she got regular facials and face peels in high school, which led to Botox in her early twenties and a breast enlargement this year.
"I work out like a fanatic ... I noticed my breasts got a lot smaller and I lost a lot of volume," she says, adding that she feels a lot happier now that her breasts are bigger.
And Brittani insists you're never too young to get Botox injections to the forehead, because they fend off wrinkles later on.
"I'm doing Botox because I'm preventing wrinkles from forming in five, 10 years. Slowing down the ageing process," she says while her father makes the injections in her forehead.
So isn't it weird to have your dad operating on your boobs? No, says Charm.
"First of all I'm his daughter and he's seen me naked when I was a baby, so really who cares?"
If you say so.
Mum Penny was circumspect about letting the girls dabble in the family trade.
"I fought it for a long time, saying "No we're not doing this, this is not right'," she says.
"I wasn't enthused about the girls' surgeries because, to be honest, I didn't want them to think that every time something bothered them, they could run and have surgery."
Not an entirely unfounded fear, Penny.
But she loosened up on the issue.
"I feel like they won't become addicted. They work out, they take care of themselves," she says.
Dad Michael says it was a no-brainer for the girls to go under his knife.
"They've lived in the world of cosmetics so they understand the importance of looking good and maintaining your beauty for the rest of their lives," Dr Niccole says.
