Iranian women love to get nose jobs

Last night, the topic of nose jobs came up during dinner. I did not realize that Iranian women often have their genetically well-endowed noses surgically altered to reflect a more Western ideal of beauty.

"...the Persian nose, it seems, is out of style."

As someone who believes that natural beauty is much more appealing than chemically altered human aesthetics, this trend is another fascinating cultural phenomenon within the Iranian community.

When researching to find the documentary, we also came across this 2005 CBS evening news report. Iran: Nose Job Capital Of World (Jaime Holguin) [ link ]

I'm particularly interested in exploring the connection between makeup, rhinoplasty, and head covering for Iranian women.

(By the way.... nose jobs are not Haram??)
