Background ==~~ Cosmetic surgery is popular in Iran. The country has the highest rate of nose surgery in the world. A turned-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, self-expression, or boredom in a country with otherwise restricted dress codes. 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> In the 1980s, the [[Ruhollah Khomeini\|Ayatollah Khomeini]] spoke up in favor of rhinoplasty.
