Iran is among the top countries to perform rhinoplasties globally, operating 6,5% of the nose job in the world in 2019. Brazil and the United States are the other top three countries, with respectively 8% and 5% of nose jobs worldwide.

Iran is generally a very safe place to travel, so much so that many travelers describe it as the “safest country I’ve ever been to” or “much safer than traveling in Europe”. International SOS experts consider it as safe as Europe and safer than countries such as Turkey, Brazil, or Indonesia. Furthermore, Iranian doctors are well-trained, many of whom have been trained in Europe and the U.S., and clinics and hospitals are equipped with the latest medical technologies.
