“Okay, that's beautiful,” a virtual fan of rhinoplasty doctor Ferda Erol gushed under a trending TikTok transformation seemingly created by Dr. Seuss' “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” was inspired.

The viral video shows before and after pictures of Erol's work. She reshapes a patient's short snout into a Cindy Lou Who-style centerpiece, upside down tip and all.

Erol has racked up tens of millions of views by showing shocking before-and-after clips of her work, creating slopes that would give the Grinch himself nightmares.

While it passed the sniff test with flying colors for some, Whoville haters couldn't keep their mouths shut.

“Is this illegal?” one cynic asked, while other cruel commenters compared their patient's new nose to those of Miss Piggy and Michael Jackson.

Critics notwithstanding, it is the operation of the season.

While cosmetic trends of yesteryear like the do-it-yourself “mini” nose job and the trendy “Barbie” nose job are fading into oblivion, the unofficially dubbed “Whoville” cut could become a must-have for glamor girls are lists, judging by the document's feed from overseas.

According to a recent report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, rhinoplasty as a whole is becoming a trendy online gift choice for young girls.

Rod Rohrich, a plastic surgeon in the Dallas area, explained that “social media plays a critical role in this trend, in addition to broader acceptance among colleagues and the public.”

“Visual-focused platforms like Instagram and Snapchat often set unrealistic beauty standards,” the documentary filmmaker added. “These platforms represent a world where aesthetic perfection seems achievable, and this strongly influences young minds for cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty.”

But Dr. Anthony Youn of Michigan warns that the Whoville trend may be taking the trend too far.

Youn, a holistic plastic surgeon, comments on Erol's nose reconstruction via YouTube, noting that the patient only had a small bump deformity – or bump – on her nose before the surgery.

“If she came to me for a nose job, I would probably shave off a little of that bump,” the pro said. “And honestly, that’s probably about it.”

Youn further explained that Erol turned the tip of the patient's nose “upwards” and tilted her nasolabial angle – the area between the nose and upper lip – sharply upward.

“It is believed that the ideal angle for a woman is between 95 and 105 degrees,” he said. “This patient’s perspective postoperatively is much more than that.”

“In fact,” the expert continued, “I measured a temperature of 123 degrees. And that's why her nose looks like it's so pointed.”

Youn, who admittedly stopped performing nose jobs a decade ago, said his strategy is to make “small changes” to a beak to give patients the changes they want while leaving them with “the essence of what their nose is.” was original,” he said.

“If you are considering rhinoplasty or plastic surgery, you need to be very careful in your selection,” advises Youn.

“Check out the before and after photos and videos and make sure the results are what you want.”
