Not long ago, having big, fleshy noses topped with a bump was considered a Persian trait. Up until the 1950s, no one seemed to bother about their most prominent facial feature.

It wasn't until the early 70's when the Iranian cohort started obsessing over the delicate facial features of westerners and gravitated to nose reshaping surgery.
