The Stênio Garcia's Facial Harmonization meme emerged in June 2023 after the veteran Brazilian actor debuted his significantly altered appearance on the TV show 'Fofocalizando.' At 91 years old, the actor's intense cosmetic procedure resulted in a smooth, swollen look that immediately sparked a wave of internet comparisons to pop culture icons and other celebrities. While Garcia expressed extreme satisfaction with his rejuvenated look, the internet quickly turned the dramatic 'before and after' reveal into a template for discussing drastic transformations. Today, the meme is frequently used to satirize the 'uncanny valley' effect of modern aesthetic enhancements or to joke about the deceptive power of social media filters.
