    People were baffled by the man’s transformation, which shows him with a slimmer nose, a chiseled jawline, and no under-eye bags.

    “That’s another human,” one commenter said.

    “Outstanding work, but that’s not a correction; that’s a twist. I mean, he’s really a different person!” a separate user agreed.

    “Do you still recognize yourself by looking in the mirror?” a third netizen added. “He has become a totally different person…”

    “Was he trying to change his identity and hide from authorities?” someone else joked after another user said the man “needs a new identity” as a result of his transformation.

    “Remarkable difference. He must be thrilled,” wrote somebody else.

    These three procedures helped the man achieve “the Golden Ratio,” the Istanbul clinic said, a concept that refers to the symmetry and proportions of facial features.

    Applied to facial aesthetics, it states that when a line is divided into two parts in a ratio of 1: 1.618, it creates proportions that some view as harmonious and more appealing.

    As theCentre For Surgery notes, the Golden Ratio should be seen as only one among many tools or perspectives to understand facial attractiveness.

    “While the Golden Ratio offers a framework, it’s crucial to factor in individual uniqueness and overall facial harmony when considering cosmetic enhancements,” the center advises.
