Growing Acceptance of Cosmetic Procedures
Shifting beauty cultures, increasing disposable incomes, and the influence of social media together make aesthetic treatments increasingly socially acceptable. For instance, according to April 2025 news reports, in Iran, rhinoplasty or nose job has experienced a phenomenal jump in popularity, with numerous women opting for the procedure as a means of improving their looks and their social standing.
Despite economic adversity, numerous individuals, including women, undergo such operations for social and professional purposes at the instigation of accessibility and affordability. According to an article published in February 2024, Tehran has become the globe's "nose job capital," with approximately 200,000 rhinoplasties undergone each year, the highest per capita among all cities in the world. The growth of cosmetic surgery in Iran is driven by various cultural, economic, and social factors. Rhinoplasty has become a significant socio-cultural phenomenon and is often viewed as a rite of passage, especially for women. It is an affordable process, with the cost ranging from USD 1,200 to USD 3,500, which is much less compared to other nations, including the U.S. This cost has enabled the affordability of cosmetic surgery among a broader population, such as students and young professionals.
Improvements in surgical techniques and the introduction of less invasive procedures have enhanced the safety and appeal of cosmetic treatments across the Middle East. As societal attitudes evolve, the demand for these procedures is expected to rise further, contributing to the rapid growth of the cosmetic surgery industry in the region.
