Over time with the advancement of medical knowledge and technologies, the level of expertise and tools are not solely used to treat diseases. Moreover, the development of knowledge and equipment has dramatically increased our perception of the human body. This information has led to the enhancement of medical treatment, and it will not be limited to the treatment of disease, but also to the development of equipment that can change humans’ face and body. 

Gradually, the existence of various medical equipment and advanced tools has changed the standard of beauty. However, these criteria will change over time, based on multiple factors. The existence of aesthetic principles led to the emergence of a new medical branch called cosmetic surgery, and it covers a wide range of facial and body surgeries. Plastic surgery is one of the most attractive and popular branches of cosmetic surgery. Nowadays, in addition to the emergence of various types of cosmetic surgeries, it is now possible to have these surgeries in other countries. In fact, those who want to have plastic surgery for any reason can travel to other countries to have the procedure they want.

Firstly, the most crucial factor in choosing a country to perform cosmetic surgery is the cost of operation. For example, The United States is one of the most famous countries in the field of health tourism; however, the cost of treatment is very high, and for that reason, not everyone can choose this country to continue their treatment. 

Secondly, there may be some laws in the country of origin that will not permit the performance of certain plastic surgeries, or the insurance will not cover the procedure, and as a result, the cost of cosmetic surgery would be much high.

 Thirdly, the accessibility of professional specialists, advanced facilities, and the low cost of plastic surgery in other countries.

Iran is among the best countries specializing in the field of medical tourism in Asia and the Middle East, and it is well-equipped with professional specialists and advanced medical facilities for the treatment of various diseases. Moreover, the cost of treatment and plastic surgery in Iran is very much affordable. More importantly, Iran is quite famous for performing all kinds of plastic surgeries, especially Rhinoplasty, at a reasonable cost and with the best outcome.

Plastic surgery in Iran is a growing industry.  Low prices and the provision of quality services by Iranian surgeons and health centers have made many foreign tourists choose Iran as a reliable and trustworthy destination to have plastic surgery.

Plastic surgery is derived from the Greek word (Plastics), which means mold and shape. People will have plastic surgery for various reasons. Furthermore, plastic surgery can fix the defects in the different parts of the body and face, which will then improve the quality of life. These defects may be present at birth, such as chapped lip and cleft lip, or may be caused by accident (women’s breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery). 

In another type, plastic surgery is performed for aesthetic purposes, mainly because patients do not feel content regarding their appearance and would like to change it based on beauty standards. For this purpose, plastic surgery is performed on the desired organ, such as reducing the breasts, reshaping the nose, implanting chin and cheeks, and so on.

In the following, some of the popular plastic surgeries will be explained. These procedures are performed in Iran under the supervision of experienced and professional physicians with the most up-to-date medical facilities and equipment at reasonable prices.

Breast plastic surgery is performed for various purposes, like breast augmentation, breast lift, and improving breast sagging or reducing the breast size. Three methods, namely Mammoplasty, Mastopexy (breast lift) and breast prosthesis, are common cosmetic breast surgeries. Choosing the most suitable method for breast plastic surgery in Iran will be done by the physician based on the patient’s goal. Breast prosthesis will be selected according to the width of the breast and the evaluation of its tissue.  A breast prosthesis and breast implant means the reconstruction of the breast by increasing its volume, which is one of the most popular breast plastic surgeries in the world.

It is quite common that some people cannot reach their desired body through natural methods, such as exercise or diet, and after many attempts, they choose plastic surgery. Physicians via body contouring methods, such as Lipolysis, Lipomatic, can remove excess and targeted fat from the body, and as a result, the patient will lose weight. 

Improper diet and lifestyle have caused many people around the world to suffer from obesity and overweight problems. Body contouring surgery in Iran is performed by professional doctors that utilize the latest technology at the best price possible. 

Iran is famous for its Rhinoplasty. Last year, more than 500,000 foreigners from different countries traveled to Iran for Rhinoplasty. There are different types of nose plastic surgery; Rhinoplasty, Septoplasty, and revision Rhinoplasty. 

Due to the prevalence of Rhinoplasty in Iran and other countries, this surgery may seem insignificant or straightforward. However, the nose is one of the most critical organs of the body and plays a vital role for humans. Therefore, the slightest mistake in Rhinoplasty can cause irreversible problems for the patient. Because of the high number of Rhinoplasty performed by Iranian physicians, they have extensive experience in various types of Rhinoplasty and have the latest information regarding the structure of the nose.  This is the main reason that many foreign patients choose Iran to have Rhinoplasty. The shape and form of the noses are divided into two categories: fleshy and bony noses which have a considerable effect on the procedure outcome. Rhinoplasty is also performed with different methods, either open or closed.
