Now on season four, Botched plastic surgery duo Dr Terry Dubrow and Dr Paul Nassif have pretty much seen it all.
But one thing Dr Dubrow continues to remain mystified by is cosplay, and how many people want to transform themselves into a specific character – on a permanent basis.
And on the upcoming episodes of the E! series, the surgeons try to help a 25-year-old named Luis Padron, whose goal it is to look like an elf.
Luis – who describes himself as a 'future fantasy being' - has already undergone almost £50,000 worth of surgery in his home town of Argentina and also in South Korea to achieve his dream look.

He’s had a nose job, liposuction on his chin, hair transplants, skin bleaching and had five laser procedures to change his eye color.
However, still not totally pleased with his look, he's hoping that the surgeons can help to make him a more 'elf-ic' looking face by evening out his jaw and making his nose smaller and straighter.

“We see a lot of people with body modifications who want to look like extraterrestrials or interstellar beings, or they want to look androgynous,” Dr Dubrow told Mirror Online.
“And the cosplay thing has now overlapped plastic surgery modifications.

“First of all, they want to look more elf like and like the characters they're playing, but they also have complications.”
He went on: “I'm still shocked because it's one thing to put on a costume to look like a cosplay character but it's a completely another thing to make a permanent alteration to your anatomy to look like a cosplay character.
“What happens in your normal life? You can't just take that stuff off."
