Obsessed Superman fan has cosmetic surgery to look like his hero

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. A Filipino man has had extensive cosmetic surgery to make him look more like Superman. Herbert Chavez (pictured before and after his ops), 35-year-old fan of the comic book character, has dramatically altered his appearance to look more like the Man of Steel.So far Mr Chavez has admitted to having the following procedures to make him look more like Superman:

• 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

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.
A psychiatrist told Bandila News that Mr Chavez could be suffering from body dysmorphic disorder, meaning that he is obsessed with making cosmetic changes to his body.
