Jenner's transformation has been labelled by some as the "surgery of the year", with fans keen to know who crafted this new visage that so closely resembles her 44-year-old daughter, Kim Kardashian.

Meet the doctor behind the transformation
The "artist" responsible for this jaw-dropping aesthetic is none other than Dr Steven Levine, a renowned board-certified plastic surgeon based in New York City.
Praised for his natural-looking enhancements, Levine has carved a niche within the plastic surgery realm for his ability to deliver subtle yet effective results.
An insider confirmed to "Page Six" that he is indeed the mastermind behind Jenner's chic makeover.
It is reported that Jenner called Levine directly, urging him to "name his price" to squeeze her in, despite his waitlist extending well into next year.

The NYU Medical School graduate dedicated seven years to mastering the art of plastic surgery at his alma mater, later honing his skills in the practice of Dr Daniel C. Baker.
Baker is another renowned plastic surgeon with nearly 50 years of experience. In 2019, Levine embarked on his own journey by opening a private practice and operating facility on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
His services include a range of procedures from facelifts and rhinoplasties to body contouring and breast procedures.
He is particularly admired for his ability to create natural-looking surgery results, a quality that resonates deeply with his celebrity clientele.
According to an interview with "People" magazine in 2020, Levine confirmed that face procedures had a price tag of $45 000 and up.
Meanwhile, Jenner is not alone in her choice of surgeon.
Levine has worked on many high-profile faces, although he tends to remain discreet about his clientele.
Rumour has it that he has done work on supermodels and A-listers such as Lindsay Lohan, Demi Moore, Christina Aguilera and possibly Brad Pitt, though these stars have not publicly confirmed any surgical procedures.
Yet, there is no denying that all eyes are on him following Jenner's sensational transformation.
As she continues to bask in the attention, one thing is certain: the Kardashian-Jenner clan always know how to make waves, and Jenner's latest metamorphosis is a testament to their ongoing influence.
