From Collegiate Basketball to Boob Jobs: Cavinder Twins Open Up About Their Double Surgery
Image via Instagram (Haley Cavinder) Breast augmentation among basketball players is a rare topic, especially when it involves two former NCAA stars doing it together. But leave it to Hanna and Haley Cavinder, the influencer duo and former college hoopers, to break the mold. On July 16, the 24-year-old Cavinder twins revealed to their 4.6 million TikTok followers that they had undergone breast augmentation surgery together. Just a month earlier, they had teased the decision, and now, true to their open-book style, they have brought fans along for the ride. Haley and Hanna Cavinder Undergo Breast Augmentation Surgery Never ones to shy away from humor or honesty, the Cavinder twins kicked off their surgery reveal with a bold TikTok while being in the gym, "Say goodbye to these little, itty, bitty t–ties, bitches, because 24 hours from now, I'm gonna have a rack.' In another short clip from the hospital, Hanna walked up to the camera with Haley lying in bed and being attended by a nurse. She wrote in the caption, 'Still trying to figure out how being 3 minutes older means she gets her job first.' Post-op, they continued the lighthearted vibe, sharing recovery footage that included Hanna looking hilariously dazed from anesthesia while Haley, ever the gym rat, was already chatting about when she could get back to her workouts. Their mom, Katie Cavinder, even made a cameo, handing Hanna coffee to help her wake up. Haley also admitted it was her first time being put under anesthesia, making the whole experience both new and a little nerve-wracking for the twins. From the Court to Content Queens Before their influencer fame, Hanna and Haley were known for their basketball skills. They began their college careers at Fresno State, where Haley was named Mountain West Player of the Year in 2020–21. Later, they transferred to the University of Miami, where they helped lead the Hurricanes to their first-ever Elite Eight appearance. Following a short stint training at the WWE Performance Center, the twins returned to Miami for one final season, officially wrapping up their collegiate basketball careers in 2025. The Cavinder Twins Are More Than Just Athletes The Cavinders are standout examples of the new era of college athletes who leveraged the NCAA's 2021 NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) rule to build massive brands. With millions of followers across platforms, they have inked deals with Under Armour, Boost Mobile, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Champs Sports. They even launched their own fitness and wellness app, TWOgether, offering custom workout routines and nutrition guidance. Now, with basketball in the past, the twins are leaning fully into fitness content, brand partnerships, and lifestyle vlogging.
