The connection between conjoined twins was present from birth, but surgery permanently separated them.

People are referred to as being “joined at the hip” when they show a strong bond. The same is true for Isabelle and Abby Carlsen, two stunning sisters who entered the world in 2006. But compared to their parents, these twins had a lot more in common. From their chests down to their stomachs, they were joined at birth.

Parents wanted their daughters to be separated, but doctors warned them that such a surgery was very risky. Nevertheless, medical professionals in Minnesota made the difficult decision to separate the two sisters. Fortunately, it was a massive success, and Isabelle and Abby received worldwide attention.

Their internal organs were mixed up, and Abby’s heart was entangled inside Isabelle’s chest. The doctors did everything in their power to give these girls a bright future because they understood that the quality of their lives was in their hands. For the marathon surgery, they put in months of preparation. You name it, there was a team for plastic surgery, one for the liver, etc.

The sisters, who reside in North Dakota, don’t recall ever being joined together because they underwent separation surgery when they were only six months old. Today, they undoubtedly have a contagious sprightliness in common, but that’s about it. Abby and Isabelle are poles apart in terms of who they are as people. They don’t share the same interests or fashion sense.

“Every night we look in our room’s mirror and wonder, ‘how do people confuse us?'” Says Abby. These two are unquestionably totally original people.

They were once regarded as miracle children, and now that they are all adults, they lead entirely regular lives. Visit the video below for more information about their remarkable tale.
