Woman, 35, who has never had a boyfriend because of bum deformity caused by conjoined twin goes on Botched
Addie has barely had a social life because of her disfigured bottom
A WOMAN who was born with a conjoined twin attached to her bum says that she has never had a boyfriend because of her condition.
Appearing on E! show Botched By Nature, Addie, 35, reveals that she's barely had a social life because of the deformity – let alone wanted to be intimate with anyone before.
She decided to go on the shot in the hope that Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif can finally help correct it.
Addie's mum also appears on the show, and reveals that she didn't know she was even having conjoined twins until Addie was born.
She told the doctors: "I had an ultrasound and they didn’t see it. They just saw the one, healthy baby.
"So it must have been quite a shock when Addie was born and they suddenly scooped her away.
"They told me that it was a Siamese twin. But I never got to see it because they always kept it wrapped. They wouldn’t let me see it."
Addie goes on to disclose that her deformity wasn't that much of a problem until she became a teenager.
She added: "When I got dressed for PE, the girls knew it. They noticed me. They started teasing me and started calling me hurtful names.
"The reason I’m so shy is because the bullying caused me to isolate myself from everyone. I didn’t want to get hurt anymore," she reveals.
"I’ve never really had a social life and when I dated it was more like a friendship. It was never an intimate relationship."

Her mum adds: "I think it was because she was ashamed”, to which Addie emotionally admits to being true.
The doctors then tell Addie that they are hopeful they can help her.
While Addie says she would love to have a bum like Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez, Dr. Dubrow says that he can't promise that.
He adds: "I really want to help Addie to look normal but when she uses the examples of major celebrities who are known for that particular feature it really makes me want to manage her expectations so that I don’t disappoint.”
He goes on to ask: "You’re not going to get a butt like her but if you get an improvement - will you be happy?"
Dr Dubrow then examines Addie’s bottom to see what can be done to help.
He explains: "I really want to take the central concavity and just make it go away. My plan is to first perform liposuction on the flanks, next I’m going to have to make incisions on both cheeks, lift up the scar tissue and remove some skin.
"Then I will close the incisions in a way that will hide her scars by moving them towards the inner cleft and will get rid of the big dent on the right.
"Lastly, I will use the fat I took from the liposuction to fill any remaining concavity."
When Dr. Dubrow gets to work he initially gets frustrated as he struggles to fix the larger dent in her bottom - but when he finally finishes the procedure he's happy with the results.
After her surgery, Addie returns to see Dr. Dubrow and tells him the result is better than she anticipated.
She explains: "Looking back over my life I was dealing with low self-esteem.
"My condition held me back with dating, getting married and having children. But by having surgery I’ve put that all behind me and I finally feel good about myself and I want to celebrate that with my friends and family."
