((9/9)*99)+(9/9)

orlok:
(9+(9/9))*(9+(9/9))
((99*√9)+√9)/9)*√9

I know of at least two more completely distinct solutions, and several more that I would accept.
OK, here are some that were missed:

99-9+9+(9/9)
99+(99^(9-9))
(and lots of other ways of essentially doing 99+1)

and two completely different ones:
999/9.99
(9+√9)*9-9+(9/9)

So, with only two people entering the contest, I declare Bilbo1967 the winner!

Over to you, Bilbo!
