When you walk down the street in any major Iranian city, you invariably pay attention to unusual girls who walk down the street with a strange sticker on their nose.
Exactly like boxers after their noses were broken in sparring.
But these bandages-plasters among Iranian women have nothing to do with martial arts and fractures. Although they are there for medical reasons.
This is nothing more than a bandage after plastic surgery to correct the nose. And yes, here it is so common that in the city you see girls with bandages not just by chance, but just like an everyday thing: dozens of people you meet a day.
You may be surprised, but Iran ranks first in the world in the number of nose correction surgeries.
Why? Because Iranian women are extremely dissatisfied with their genetic characteristics, due to which there is a characteristic hump on the nose.
And it is this hump that they straighten (essentially breaking the nasal cartilage)
By the way, it is far from a fact that a bandage on the nose means a recent correction.
Some girls don't have money for surgery, so they imitate the process by simply wearing a bandage. This is a certain element of boasting, they say, I am from close to high society, wealthy, modern.
Although, of course, it’s like a pushup: at some point the deception is revealed...
