The growing "it" thing to do in Iran is to undergo rhinoplasty surgery, or simply called a nose job. And according to guardian.co.uk, Iran now has the highest rate in the world. This is surprising for a country that has women covering their bodies and not showing skin. Many women undergo the surgery becuase they find it being the only thing they can do to show or heighten their beauty underneath their hijab.
One woman in the guardian.co.uk stated:
"It's human nature to want to seek out attention with a beautiful figure, hair, skin … but hijab doesn't let you do that. So we have to satisfy that instinct by displaying our 'art' on our faces."
Others see it simply as taking advantage of the benefits of modernity.
"Science and technology have progressed, and people can look more beautiful," said one. "Why shouldn't we?"
The guardian also states that the women are getting nose jobs beacause they want to look like actors they see in Hollywood films and satellite television programmes from the west.
Women aren't the only ones taking advantage of this growing fade men in Iran are also going under the knife. According to the Iran-Daily newspaper. Men make up a third of surgeries in the country. the reports show that 20% of the surgeries being perform are unnessary.
