    Identical twins who were born looking very different could finally look alike thanks to plastic surgery. Gabriel Cooper was born with Pierre Robin Syndrome, which meant his jaw did not fully form - leading to a facial disfigurement. After 19 years of looking different Gabriel is preparing for plastic surgery, which could make him look identical to his brother Hadin. The family will travel from Alabama to New York City in May where Gabriel will have surgery performed by The Baby Face Foundation to dramatically alter his appearance.
