Dr. Michael Niccole, a plastic surgeon, has shared his experience of performing a breast augmentation on his teenage daughter.
In a forthcoming television special, he discusses how he provided Brittani, now 23, with breast implants when she turned 18.
Besides enhancing her breast size from an A-cup to a C-cup, he performed a rhinoplasty just a few weeks prior to her 21st birthday.
He also mentions that he has conducted surgical procedures on other family members, including Brittani’s sister Charm, who underwent surgery at age ten to convert her ‘outie’ belly button into an ‘innie’.
Dr. Niccole has faced considerable backlash for his actions, particularly given his high-profile clientele, including Alexis Bellino from the Real Housewives of Orange County.
Many deem it inappropriate for him to perform surgery on his own family and question his choices to allow the girls to alter their appearances at such young ages.
However, Dr. Niccole believes that he is merely acting in the best interest of his family.
He remarked: ‘Who would give them the time – a little extra consideration during surgery more than I would?’
He also feels comfortable operating on his daughters, both of whom were adopted.
‘I’m not altering their appearances in any way. They seek maintenance,’ he explained. ‘They wish to remain youthful.’
Four years later, Brittani continues to be pleased with her breast augmentation.
The make-up artist and model shared that her motivation for the surgery was to boost her self-esteem.
‘I didn’t have well-endowed breasts when I was younger, but all my friends did,’ she recalled. ‘It made me feel quite self-conscious.’
In a separate interview with Anderson Cooper late last year, she admitted that considering another plastic surgeon ‘never crossed my mind’.
‘I regard the day I had my breasts done as one of the best days of my life thus far,’ she added.
