Rhinoplasty or a nose job for a Persian or Iranian nose is quite common both in Houston, the United States, and in Iran. I have all too often seen Iranians who have obviously had cosmetic nose surgery or rhinoplasty. They may have a sloop the bridge of their nose, the tip may be pinched, and knuckled cartilage may be showing. The nose is frequently left too long and has an operated appearance.

Rhinoplasty or nose surgery should provide natural changes. The nose should not be noticed on the face. It should not draw attention, whether due to surgery or natural causes. The human eye should not be distracted by the nose when looking at one’s face and concentrate on one’s eyes, lips, hair.

I think it is essential to assure that Iranian rhinoplasty provides a natural result and one that does not give the appearance that the patient has had surgery.
