DOUBLE BUBBLE
NY twin sisters go bottoms up with matching butt-lifts
Identical twins Larissa and Nadia do everything together: Walk their family dog. Take day jaunts to the Hamptons. Get matching Brazilian butt-lifts. The 24-year-olds from Forest Hills, Queens, recently had their bun-boosting surgeries performed on the same day. Last year they got matching breast implants. “It was my idea to have the breast implants and Larissa’s to contour our derrières,” said Nadia, a public middle-school science teacher. She refused to lag behind her sibling: “I couldn’t let her be the only twin with the big butt!” Now both of the sisters have an extra four inches of circumference in their glutes, with Larissa’s hip measurements going from 39 to 43 inches and Nadia expanding from 40 to 44. The operations — which involved removing fat from each twin’s stomach, lower back and biceps, and injecting it into her buttocks — were performed in March by cosmetic surgeon Dr. Dennis Dass in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Each procedure cost $11,000. The sisters had previously shelled out $8,000 each for their breast augmentations, which took them from a 34 “negative A,” according to Nadia, to C-cups.
“I am lucky enough to make a salary to afford this,” said Larissa, who works in tech at a Manhattan financial-services firm. (Both siblings asked that their last names not be used for professional reasons.) “Rather than shop for designer clothes, I decided to invest in myself so I can look and feel perfect when I stand in front of the mirror.”
Or, as Nadia put it: “I wanted to go from a 9.95 to a 10. Now I feel 10 times cuter.”
The duo, who said they were trying to replicate the hourglass figure of Kylie Jenner, didn’t feel so cute during recovery, however. They had to squeeze their new bums into “torturous” compression garments and weren’t supposed to sit down for six weeks.
“I don’t let my patients put any pressure on their bums for [that time],” Dass told The Post. “It maximizes the healing and formation of new blood vessels in the area.”
As a result, the sisters were forced to use standing desks at their jobs and sleep on their stomachs. Although they don’t live together, they hung out at each other’s apartments and watched TV standing up.
Finally they bought $70 lawn chairs from Bed Bath & Beyond and cut large holes in the fabric seats so they could “sit” without compromising their investments.
“We were glad to see the back of those chairs,” Nadia said, laughing.
The siblings are over the moon with their new assets, which they plan to show off this summer. While Larissa is single, Nadia has a boyfriend who is thrilled with the results.
“He kept telling me that it was my decision, that he wasn’t going to sway me one way or the other,” she recalled. “But now that I’ve got it done, he can’t contain his excitement.”
As of now, Larissa added, the twins have no further plans to go back under the knife for more plastic surgery, matching or otherwise: “We feel perfect as we are.”
