All Information About Rhinoplasty, Rhinoplasty in Iran
And How They Get Surgery Arrenged With Us

Iran is known as the ‘nose job capital of the world’, with more per capita procedures than any other country (seven times more than the United States). With well-educated specialists performing different kinds of nose surgeries — cosmetic and medical — Iran enjoys one of the richest manpower resources for nose surgery in the world.

A rhinoplasty or nose surgery (also known as ‘nose job’) is a plastic surgery aimed at correcting, reshaping, or reconstructing the nose. The rhinoplasty procedure is typically performed to address the aesthetic aspects of the nose. It involves a surgical procedure to modify the structure of the nose, usually by making changes to the nasal bone or cartilage.
Not all rhinoplasty procedures, however, are for cosmetic reasons. Sometimes nose surgery is performed to restore the function of a nose with medical problems, e.g. difficulty in breathing because of a deviated septum. The surgical procedure for correction of a deviated septum is technically called septoplasty.

As said above, nose surgery can be used to correct the functional problems of a nose such as a crooked septum caused by a traumatic injury, which often results in nasal obstruction.

The majority of rhinoplasty cases, however, don’t have medical problems. They decide to have a cosmetic nose job because they are unhappy with the shape of their nose. Nose job, from an aesthetic standpoint, aims to correct the following problems:

  •  Crooked or asymmetrical nose
  •  Too large or too small nose compared to other facial features
  •  Prominent nasal bridge or dorsal hump (commonly referred to as ‘hook nose’)
  •  Too wide nose
  •  Bulbous, droopy or enlarged tip
  •  Unproportionate or asymmetrical nostrils

One cannot walk down a street in Tehran and not come across the signature of a nose job: bandages fixed on the nasal bridge. The craze for having a small, straight nose has been on the rise since a few decades ago among both women and men in Iran.

Now Iran has the highest rate of nose surgery in the world, with more procedures per capita than any other country. With people flocking to the country to get their noses done by Iranian doctors, Iran has become a rhinoplasty hub in the world.

Not only in the capital Tehran, but also in many other cities across the country, cosmetic nose operations are performed by nose surgeons who have academic as well as practical expertise in the field. Hospitals and specialized clinics in cities like Mashhad, Shiraz, Isfahan, Tabriz, Kish Island, and other major cities offer quality nose surgeries to national and international patients.

Nose reshaping surgery also attracts the lion’s share of health tourists entering Iran for treatment. A considerable number of foreign nose job candidates from various countries, especially Middle Eastern countries, flock to Iran annually to go under the knives of skillful Iranian nose surgeons.

As the surgery is performed under general anesthesia, you won’t feel any pain during the operation. The degree of pain after regaining consciousness is different from person to person, depending on the patient’s pain threshold and the technique used (open and closed). Medications can help relive the post-operative nose job pain.

 

Is rhinoplasty dangerous?
No one can claim that surgery is completely risk-free. However, the chance of developing complications after rhinoplasty can be greatly reduced by choosing the right surgeon.
Our board-certified rhinoplasty surgeons have at least 12 years of experience, having done over 5000 operations each during this period. This translates to their vast expertise in every aspect of nose surgery, giving you assurances that you will have a nose job as safe as possible with the most satisfactory result.

 

Is rhinoplasty permanent?
Yes, the end result of a rhinoplasty lasts for good. Almost one year after surgery, when all swelling subsides and the nose gets the final shape, your nose is not expected to change form.

 

How long does a nose job last ?
Depending on the type of nose, and the technique used by the surgeon, it typically lasts between 1-3 hours.

 

Will nose job leave scars ?
In closed rhinoplasty, as a small incision in made in the columella, there will be no visible scarring. In open rhinoplasty, the scarring left depends on the skill of the surgeon in making the incisions and sewing them up, and the skin thickness and texture (thin and light skin is less prone to scarring).
However, the scarring is often barely visible in most cases. Using anti-scar ointments and gels in the first 3 months after surgery can help reduce the scarring.
