I have always hated my nose. I have always thought...

I have always hated my nose. I have always thought it was so big and I just did not like it. When I was 10 years old I went to Iran for the first time to visit my family and I would see so many people walking on the street with tape on teir nose and I would ask my mom, ''Why do they tape their nose ?'' and she would say because they have a nose job and I would think by my self, ''wow so there is such a thing as making your nose smaller?''. I decided to get a nosejob when I was old enough to do it and they usually recommend 21 because than your face has fully developed and I know most other docters say 14 or 16 but my mom said it's better if you wait because I have a cousin that did it at 16 and as he grew older his nose got wider..? Anyways It did not end so good for him and he already has had 3 nosejobs and his nose just does not look good.. ANYWAYS now, I am 19 and I went back to Iran in July 2014, and I had my nose done by doctor Ali reza mohebbi in Tehran, Iran. In my opinon he is the best surgeon ever because he did such an excellent job with me (and I have seen a lot of his patients while I was waiting on my apppointment, and there was not one that I did not like.) I told him I want it as natural looking as possible and I just want it to look good on my face. The reason I went to iran to get my nose job is because they have so much more expierience, for them it's like going to the dentist.. (literarry!!!) When I did my nosejob I was at his clinique for only 3 hours and then I went home. the next day they took my filters out of my nose and that was the only thing that hurt about the whole surgery. One week later they took my cast of my nose and now I have to tape it for 3 months because it has a lot of swelling and according to my doctor you have to tape it so it wil settle nicely. My doctor told me that a lot of the swelling will go away within the first month but it takes up to 5/6 months for the real real result!

My doctor is Doctor Ali-Reza Mohebbi and I flew all the way to Tehran, Iran to get my surgery done. I found his website through a nosejob page on facebook and I loved his work. I payed 6 million rial which is 2000$ (and my flight was about $ 2600). i think he is such a great doctor who listens to his patients needs. Vey professional and very nice gentlemen.

Beautiful work! I checked out his website and now I'm seriously thinking of switching, lol. Because, I have a nose much more like the women he has treated (since I am ethnic with arab blood) and I think he might be able to do a better job than the local doc I've picked out (who mainly deals with white noses). My nose is crooked though from a trauma, so I am not sure if he would know how to deal with that. At any rate, thank you for posting, you are beautiful!! I also hope to have a good transformation like yours.

Actually, just found a lady who has a crooked nose like mine that he fixed beautifully. I seriously might make the switch...I already paid about ~8k but since my surgery isn't until Dec I might just back out...

I have been to lots and lots of docters here in the U.S., in europe (Holland, sweden, U.K.) but in my opinon it's safer to do it there since they have so much expierince and it's not just for the money but most of all it's expierince.. your nose is right in the center of your face if they mess that up than you have to live with it plus everyone else will see it. Google ''iran nosejob'' it's such a populair/normal thing to do.. like going to the dentist haha.

Don't be nervous!! you will look great! I was really scared too and now i'm really happy!
August 31, 2014
lol, yeah it looks like he does a lot of people! I agree with you about experience. Did you email or call them? I tried the email on their site but it looks like it doesn't work. I have never been to Iran but I have been to other Arab countries so I'm used to the area. I wanted to send them pictures and see what they thought. Do you have to book months in advance? How long did it take for recovery? I would like to still do it in Dec if possible and come back within 3 weeks..I tried calling them with my middle east calling card but then I remembered it's 10 pm over there so that's probably why they're not answering lol...

If you want I can call for you and ask for the doctor to contact you. I called them the day I got to Iran and I told him that I am on vacation so he made an exception for me! I got there on a tuesday i went in on wednesday and he told me to go get my photo's done and do a blood test to see if I am not allergic to anything and than I got my result on a saturday and I got my surgery on a sunday so everything happened so fast. It all happened within 4 days. I was at his clinique for 3 hours and then I went home (surgery and waking up took all about 3 hours). They put 7cm filters in your nose (like a tampon) and they take that out 24 hours after your surgery so the next day. To be honest that is the only thing that hurts. after that you have to lay on your back as much as possible and you have to take medicine every 3/6 hours. it's only one week that will be really hard for you and its not pain it's just that you get suppppppppper bored. after 7 days you go back and he takes of the cast onyour nose and after that you have to tape it (depending on what kind of nose/surgery you got done). My doctor reshaped my bone and took out a part of my cartilage so I do have to tape it for up to 3 months but i can leave it off a few hours a day. i'd rather have it on to be honest because it feels safe. I don't think there will be a problem getting your surgery done in December but keep in mind You have to wear hejab in Iran. Now im not trying to scare you you probably know what i'm talking about since you are familliar with arabic culture/relligions. It's december.. REALLY cold so you're going to want to wear that anyways lol./

How much was the total cost with flights, surgery, hotel, and everything? I dunno if it would be cheaper to do an expensive surgery in the US or a cheap surgery in Iran?? Considering the extra travel expenses and all (:
User Avatar

my flight was about 2600$ usually its $1300 but I had to cancel my flight because some personal stuff had happened to me and I had to cancel and buy a new ticket. my surgery was about $2000 +/-. I was staying at my aunts house so I didn't have to pay for a hotel. I think it would be cheaper and smarter to go to Iran and get it done haha but that is totally my opinion. I am sure that there are some good doctors here but I could not afford $20,000.00 doctors plus hospital fee's and check up fees etc. Food and hotels shouldn't be expensive in Iran
