Big-Nosed Iranians

It appears that Iran and Pakistan are the Nosejob capitals of the World. When you cover your women from head to toe in black fabric, they have to find some way to express their vanity. After all, they can be beaten for wearing eyeliner or lip gloss- so why not get rid of the giant honker and get a Western nose?

From CBS here:

Iran’s strict Islamic dress code has backfired in at least one big way. Some young Iranian women are more obsessed with their appearance than their counterparts in the West.

And they’re lining up in record number to improve on the look nature gave them with cosmetic surgery. So Iran, where the morality police used to confiscate eyeliner and lip gloss, is now the nose job capital of the world.

“A Western nose is more beautiful,” says one young woman in Farsi. The Persian nose, it seems, is out of style.

“Iranians in general have big noses and that’s one of the reasons why this surgery is so popular,” says Ali Bahrami in Farsi. And best of all, Heidar says, all this nipping and tucking is not un-Islamic. “Plastic surgery is better appearance for people, and I think God like this,” he says.

Nip/Tuck Iranian style.
