It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…a Filipino guy who’s really obsessed with Superman!
Since 1995, Herbert Chavez, 35, has undergone multiple plastic surgeries to transform his face and body into the “Man of Steel,” including a nose job, a chin augmentation, silicone treatments to his lips, and thigh implants to boost his small frame.
Local psychologists who learned of Chavez’s obsession say he may suffer from body dysmorphic disorder, a condition which the American Psychiatric Association defines as “a preoccupation in some imagined defect in personal appearance, or an excessive concern with a minor physical irregularity. The preoccupation causes significant distress or impairment.”
