While most of us strive to assert our individuality and simply abhor de idea of ever being confused for someone else, a pair of 34-year-old twin sisters from the UK are exactly the opposite of that. Having grown used to do everything together, Jo and Kerry Burton have started even to have plastic surgery at the same time, under the hand of the same doctor to
make sure people continue not to be able to tell them apart, as the Daily Mail can confirm.
Jo and Kerry have always done everything together, from coming down with chickenpox to learning to love the same things and have the same hobbies. When they were 21, Jo decided to have corrective surgery on her nose, so Kerry was left with no other option than to do the same, or risk having a twin that looked different from her. Since then, the pair has undertaken a vast series of procedures, from getting Botox jabs for smooth out wrinkles to having a permanent tattoo eyeliner and implants put in. The total cost rises, according to the Mail, to £60,000 and the sisters don't exclude the possibility of getting more surgery
either.
"It might sound barmy to some to have cosmetic surgery just because your twin is having it. But we would hate to look different, so we had to have the cosmetic surgery together. We both had chickenpox together as children and we had the same hobbies, such as Brownies and dancing - and so our identical cosmetic surgery has followed on from that." Kerry tells the Mail about the one decision that changed their life completely, while also allowing them to grow old together still looking identical.
It started with the nose job Jo wanted to get. A few years later, the sisters started getting Botox for the wrinkles around the eyes and expression lines, claiming they couldn't possibly see themselves living without the jabs now. Later on, they also got implants for & pound;4,500 for each set, and underwent surgery at the same time, in the same operation room, with their initials written on their abdomen so that the doctor would not mistake the one for the other. "We went in on the same day and once again the surgeon performed identical surgery, writing our initials in pen on our tummies so that once under the anesthetic, he didn't muddle us up." Kerry says.
To the cost of surgery, the sisters can also add £20,400 in hair color and extensions so far, £10,000 in Botox, £4,000 in facials, £2,000 in spray tans, and manicures and pedicures for £3,000. With a grand total of £60,000 to continue to look identical despite the passing of the years, the Burton sisters admit they will probably be getting more surgery for the same purpose in the future as well.
