The country has the highest rate of nose surgery in the world. A pointed up nose – or just wearing a nose bandage – is widely seen as fashionable, both among men and women, and among progressives and conservatives. Apart from beauty standards, the motivation for surgery may include expression of social status, marriage chances, self-expression, or simple boredom in a country with otherwise restricted dress code. For some, it is "a reaction to the restrictive rules of compulsory hijab."<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/iran-blog/2013/mar/01/beauty-obsession-iran-cosmetic-surgery</ref><ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/may/07/lifeandhealth.iran</ref><ref name=vice>https://www.vice.com/en/article/5gk7m8/shes-so-najoor-0000467-v21n10</ref> == References == ~~<!-- Inline citations added to your article will automatically display here.
