“…In this research we understood that one of the seductive factors toward doing a cosmetic nose surgery was friends, family or acquaintances who had undergone nose job and they had enough satisfaction. This finding is consistent with a study from Thailand [16], which mentioned that people compare themselves with those who had similar successful surgery and created a visual identity that if they underwent cosmetic surgery, then they would achieve a same successful outcome like the others without considering the failures that might occur.…”

Interest to undergo nose job surgery, known as rhinoplasty, has grown among different strata of Iranian society. As an elective and non-emergency surgery, it is always accompanied by complications like other invasive surgeries. However, little is known about candidate's awareness regarding these problems and also their expectations toward this famous plastic surgery. Objectives:To assess the awareness level of candidates as well as their expectations and motivational factors, and the reasons behind the high rates of nose job surgery in Iran. Methods:Sixteen men and women aged 20-42 who were decided to undergo nose job surgery for first time in near future were interviewed using a semi-structured interview format. Twelve face-to-face with four telephone interviews (using WhatsApp application) were conducted. The research questions explored participant's information level, persuasive reasons, and their achievements after having surgery. The interviews were audio recorded and then transcribed verbatim. Conventional content analysis was used to evaluate data. Results:The results of the analysis showed that the participants and even their family mostly had preliminary and superficial information regarding surgery complications. Negative feedback or misplaced judgements in the community, family and friends, media advertising, and scientific and technological advances are act as motivating factors. The tendency to undergo nose job surgery is not always for the sake of beauty. Sometimes it is done for therapeutic purpose. Improving the quality of life, giving better opportunity to find new friends or social interaction, increasing self confidence in public place, self-satisfied and freedom from obsession are counted as further achievements. Conclusion:The awareness level regarding nose job surgery was limit and superficial. People usually think optimistically about the results and count this surgery as a tool by which in addition to gaining beauty, they can gain higher social prestige and something new in life and get rid of daily life monotony. Mutual cooperation of psychologists and surgeons is necessary. This important can increase candidates' satisfaction by identifying motivational criteria and their expectations.

“…These individuals can benefit substantially from undergoing rhinoplasty and can achieve a significant improvement in their quality of life. Yenchai and Sirisook (2018) found that patients can be motivated to undergo rhinoplasty, regardless of the risks, because they are so focused on achieving a beautiful appearance. Notably, Wei et al (2018) found that patients seeking rhinoplasty had greater levels of anxiety and lower levels of depression than other patients seeking cosmetic surgery.…”

Undergoing a rhinoplasty can affect an individual's mental health either positively or negatively, depending upon how he or she perceives the results. Because of the impact that rhinoplasty may have on an individual's mental health and the cost of this surgery, it is important to understand the reasons that men decide to undergo rhinoplasty and the challenges they face when making the decision to have a rhinoplasty. Using a grounded theory method, we collected data by conducting interviews with 20 participants. We analyzed the data and initially obtained 684 initial codes. After we removed duplicate codes and carefully analyzed participants' interviews, a total of 497 codes remained. We developed these codes into 10 main categories and 32 subcategories. We found that the causal factors affecting the decision of Iranian men to undergo rhinoplasty included the following 5 categories: a lack of confidence; a desire to improve their appearance; a desire for attention from others; a need to keep up with the Joneses (i.e., a desire to show that one is as good as other people by getting what others have and doing what others do); and persuasion by others. Intervening factors affecting the decision of Iranian men to undergo rhinoplasty included the following 4 categories: family challenge; social atmosphere; financial problems; and unwanted consequences. Iranian men make the decision to undergo rhinoplasty by overcoming and ignoring these intervening factors. The primary variable in participants' decision to undergo rhinoplasty was the desire to improve their appearance.
