Increasing number of plastic surgeries in Iran

TEHRAN, IRAN - OCTOBER 13: A view of a woman getting a plastic surgery as the rhinoplasty is shown as a reason for the disappearance of the 'original Iranian face' on the recent years in Tehran, Iran on October 13, 2023. Social media is one of the reasons why there is an increase of plastic surgeries in the country as the surgeries come to the agenda with discussions on reasons such as 'aesthetic concerns', 'resembling Western celebrities', 'feeling good' and 'turning to things different from the obligations in the country' . As a result of the intense interest in plastic surgery, the number of beauty centers and plastic surgery clinics in the northern neighborhoods of Tehran has also increased.
