Thanks. I opted for this in the end although probably "Makeover" is also good.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The text is describing someone who lost a lot of weight. I thought perhaps to use "transformation" or "makeover". Somebody used "turnover" but this doesn't sound right to me. What do you think?

Explanation:
The new Shlomo, etc.

In a marketing text, I would look for a more catchy phrase than "transformation" or similar.
