Plastic Surgery for Fans

There are several celebrity look-a-likes and other obsessed fans, who utilize plastic surgery to enable them to look like their favorite stars on a full-time basis. People who are completely in love with their careers as look-a-likes for celebrities like Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and even Spiderman have undergone plastic surgery to make themselves look like these icons permanently. Other fans have undergone enhancements to look like their favorite comic book heroes, Star Trek characters, Star Wars icons, and even people like Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, and Mr. T. There are several reasons for this. Of course, some utilize this practice to enhance their careers. Celebrity impersonation and look-a-likes can go a long way, as many of these actors get hired for parties, weddings, and other events. On the other hand, some fans are simply obsessed with these stars or fictional characters and go to great lengths to "become" their obsession. Of course, there's nothing terribly wrong with this, but plastic surgery is almost always utilized by those who are the most diehard fans. Consider one man from the Philippines, a 35-year-old man named Herbert Chavez, who is obsessed with Superman. Since 1995, Chavez has undergone several procedures that involve plastic surgery to make himself look just like Clark Kent. By enhancing his cheekbones and jaw line, Chavez looks like an Asian Superman after several procedures. Other folks have looked into more difficult procedures like installing small bat ears into the topsides of their scalps so that have a permanent Batman shape. Others have gone so far as to install ribbed foreheads to look like various alien races in some of the more famous science fiction dramas on television like Star Trek or Alien Nation. Other fans have undergone various treatments to look exactly like Elvis Presley or Johnny Cash at various stages of their careers. Some fans choose to look like these stars when they were younger, while others choose to look like the older, heavier-set versions of these two country stars. Whichever the flavor, these diehard fans will go nearly any length to get the look just right. There is no denying the undying loyalty that many of these fans have toward their counterpart celebrities or fictional heroes. While some surgeons cannot accommodate every single request, there are various installation procedures that are done by many tattoo and piercing artists that accommodate some of the more difficult installations. Nevertheless, those who are seriously obsessed or simply love their favorite celebrity or superhero are likely to do whatever it takes to get their look just right. Indeed, several Dolly Parton look-a-likes have undergone over five procedures to get the face, chest, and body figure correct. While this type of lifestyle is not for everyone, there are hundreds of people across the globe that have had work done to look just like their favorite celebrity, superhero, or fictional TV character.
