what is nose job?
Nose job (rhinoplasty) is usually done by an ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgeon, maxillofacial surgeon or plastic surgeon to improve the nose performance (plastic surgery) or its appearance (cosmetic surgery).
Rhinoplasty is performed for aesthetic reasons or reconstructive purposes such as removing damages, congenital defect, or breathing problems. Rhinoplasty can be combined with other operations such as chin augmentation to get a better aesthetic result.

Nose job statistics in Iran
Nose surgery is the most popular cosmetic surgery in Iran; therefore, Iran is in the first place in the world in this regard. One of the reasons is the nose anatomy of Iranian race which is different from European’s; thus, Iranian does it more than other countries.
Dr. Ebrahim Razmpa, the head of the 5th International Congress of Iran’s Rhinology Association, believes that Iranian special nose anatomy, higher quality of operations, high level of surgeon and physician knowledge in this field and low cost of the surgery in comparison with other countries are the main reasons of its popularity.
