I never thought I’d have an operation
The غير مجاز مي باشدt of a nose operation starts at around $1,500 (nearly 1,400 euros) — more than five times the minimum Iranian monthly salary of $270.

Hugely popular South American and Turkish soap operas, beamed into homes via banned satellite dishes, show actresses looking beautiful after plastic surgery. Botox injections in cheeks or foreheads to conceal wrinkles, collagen in lips to make them fuller, or eyebrow tattoos to replace painful plucking or threading — removing eyebrow hairs with a piece of string — are becoming common. “Twenty years ago, about five percent of men wanted nose jobs,” says the surgeon.

In Iran’s largest cities it is easy to spot women — but also men — with bandages on their noses, flaunting the fact they recently went under the knife. In a conservative society where all women in public must wear at least a scarf over their hair and neck, such operations have boomed, with a nose job seen as a way to perfect their most visible asset.”. “I know some famous surgeons ask for up to $6,000 for a simple nose job,” she says. And these days, plastic surgery is not just for women. But he says the actual number is much higher as official statistics do not include operations by non-specialist surgeons who are cashing in on people’s desire to improve their looks.Lying on an operating table in northern Tehran, Nazanine says she wants it all: a third nose job, her eyebrows tattooed and liposuction on her thighs to “fix” her figure.
