Most people turn to plastic surgery to improve their appearance. That may mean a radical change for some, but their goals are aesthetic. Then there are those to whom plastic surgery is a means to becoming a creature of their own imagination. That’s apparently the case with Luis Pardon, 25, a Buenos Aires, Argentina native, who wants to turn himself into a Space Elf. So far, he hasn’t had much luck, as the three surgeries he has endured failed to give him the “ethereal” look he wanted. Pardon, however, is not giving up.
Since a space elf exists only in the mind, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it looks like. Pardon’s idea of such a being, “a warrior of love and light,” as he puts it, includes long white hair, pale skin, large eyes and small features. He told People magazine, “That’s the kind of beauty I want to have.” Pardon told Britain’s Daily Mail that his goal is becoming “trans-species.” Photos of Pardon in his pre-elf stage show an attractive young man with dark hair and eyes.
So, what exactly is necessary to obtain a space elf appearance? Pardon started out with his eyes. He discovered that laser surgery can change eye color, and went for purple orbs. Unfortunately, the surgery actually changed his eye color to dark grey, which he didn’t like, so now he uses contact lenses inside. He wears white contacts when he feels angelic, and black ones on his demonic days. Next was the nose. He told his surgeon that he didn’t his nose to appear human, but was going for the small, pointed look. According to Pardon, the surgeon didn’t like the idea, but went along with it anyway. Here’s the question: At what point should a surgeon refuse to accommodate a patient’s desires, knowing the surgery will make the person appear deliberately freakish? This surgeon swallowed her scruples and performed the surgery, only to have Pardon deem it unsuccessful. Along the way, he also had liposuction done on his jaw, but that was apparently to correct the family jawline rather than look elfin per se. Other changes include skin bleaching and complete removal of all body hair. Pardon eventually wants ear surgery to make them pointed, surgery in the eye area to make them cat-like, and jaw sharpening to make it look like a diamond. That’s in addition to having ribs removed to make him appear taller and thinner. Pardon is already a tall individual, so perhaps Space Elves are giants.
