Who's her plastic surgeon? Her dad

A Newport Beach plastic surgeon performed his daughter's breast augmentation and nose job. They'll both appear on "Anderson'' next week.

A Newport Beach plastic surgeon will appear on Anderson Cooper's new daytime show "Anderson'' this month as part of a segment on teenagers getting cosmetic procedures.

But Dr. Michael Niccole's story includes an interesting twist.

His patients have included his own daughter, Brittani.

Niccole, a board certified plastic surgeon, told The Orange County Register that he performed a breast augmentation on Brittani, now 23, when she was 19 years old.

Then, a week before she turned 21, he also gave her a nose job.

Brittani Niccole, a makeup artist and model, went from an A cup to a C cup, and is very pleased with the results.

"I consider the day I got my breasts done one of the best days of my life so far,'' she said.

Brittani Niccole said she didn't consider going to any other doctor: "It never crossed my mind.''

Niccole said he wasn't nervous about operating on his own daughter. He's performed plastic surgery on several family members, as well as office staffers, he said. (The latter includes "The Real Housewives of Orange County'' cast member Alexis Bellino.)

"I have no qualms,'' he said. "I feel very comfortable in surgery, and I always have with relatives.''

How rare is that?

"I would probably say yes, it's unusual,'' he said.

But, he added, "To find another surgeon that I feel 100 % confident to do what I do after 30 years ...

"I wanted a meticulous, perfect result.''

Niccole has appeared on several TV shows discussing various aspects of plastic surgery in the past, including "The Today Show,'' "Inside Edition", and "The Doctors''.

The "Anderson'' segment is expected to air on FOX 11 on Nov. 29 at 4 p.m. Both Niccole and Brittani will be among the guests.
