Iran: surgical bandages on the nose

In Iran, many men and women are literally obsessed with rhinoplasty. The straight nose here not only makes people more beautiful in the eyes of the public, but even gives some status.

China, Thailand: fair skin

In many parts of Asia, white skin is considered the standard of beauty.
