When Clark Kent wanted to transform into his heroic alter-ego, Superman, all it took was a quick whizz round inside a phone box. In real life, things are rarely so easy as I read on an ABC news article! A 35-year-old man has had extensive cosmetic surgery to make him look more like the comic book character.
Herbert Chavez, from the Philippines, has dramatically altered his appearance to look more like the famed Man of Steel. In his quest to emulate his favorite superhero, he has undergone a variety of procedures ranging from chin augmentation to thigh implants.
Mr Chavez, whose profession is given as 'pageant trainer', has been going under the knife since 1995 to achieve the transformation. So far Mr Chavez has admitted to having a chin augmentation to give him Superman's iconic cleft; Rhinoplasty to transform his Asian nose into one more closely resembling Superman actor Christopher Reeves; silicone injections to his lips to make them fuller and thicker; and thigh implants to make his legs appear more muscular.
Based on the before and after photos, I would also suspect eye surgery, cheek augmentation and a jaw augmentation. His look appears to be an amalgamation of all the actors who have played Superman, as well as comic book depictions of the fantasy character. Surely an interesting yet extreme look at what plastic surgery can do. Although I wouldn’t necessarily advocate plastic surgery to become your favorite super hero.
