Formerly conjoined twins Trishna and Krishna are doing well.

The Bangladeshi sisters were separated at Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital In November after 32 hours of surgery.

New Zealand plastic surgeon Andrew Greensmith says it was the pinnacle of his career.

He says he saw the girls yesterday, and Trishna is sitting up by herself and may crawl any day now.

Andrew Greensmith says Krishna is sitting up in a highchair.

Greensmith says because the girls development has been held back, they are not likely to remember being joined together.
