Looks like Americans aren’t the only ones obsessed with plastic surgery.
In fact, many countries are seeing a large increase in surgeries, especially rhinoplasty for those of Persian descent.
Though Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon Ashkan Ghavami, MD, who specializes in rhinoplasty for people of Middle Eastern descent, is quick to point out these are “ethnic rhinoplasty” surgeries.
And the surgeries are on the rise. Especially with teens. Reveals Dr. Ghavami:
“Facial beauty is very important for us. The nose is the center of the face and many of the women are attractive but often inherit their father’s large nose that is disproportionate with the rest of their face.
As women come of age and are approaching marriage and more independent womanhood, facial beauty becomes more significant. Therefore, for birthdays, the Persian New Year and pre-wedding, gifts such as rhinoplasty are given at this time,” adds Dr. Ghavami.
Dr. Ghavami adds that “The key is to recognize the ethnic features that make that person unique and not create a nose that is ‘cookie cutter’ and Westernized.”
Do U think teens should be having nose jobs?
