Man Spends Thousands of Dollars to Resemble a 'Real Life Elf'

Body modification is not a new thing in this day and age, what with the 'tiger woman', 'lizard man' and all the real-life 'Barbies' that spend thousands of dollars to look how they want.

Celebrities change themselves all the time, lip fillers, tummy tucks, nose jobs, the possibilities are endless. It even happens with the casual people around us, wanting to change how they look just so they are happy when they look in the mirror. Luis Padron is no different, however, instead of wanting to become an animal or a doll, he wanted to become an elf.

It's important for people to love themselves, and for most of us, that means embracing our reality: flaws. Here are some incredibly deep confessions from people who completely regret getting plastic surgery.
