thank you.
I am about to start a rtw trip from Ireland and hoping to visit Iran in late Aug / Sept. I have read that international bank cards will not work and to bring cash in and exchange it. Is it better to exchange euro rather than other currencies? I will be in Georgia / Azerbaijan before I fly into Tehran so I’m wondering should I carry over lets say €1000 for my trip or should I take €1000 out in azerbijani manat and convert that when I fly to Tehran. I don’t really want to be carrying around all my cash in euro for 2 months before I need it in Iran but will do it if required.
Euro is changed so easily and everywhere. As you said exchange rates are different. Banks do exchange at official rate of central bank which is lower than free market. But in tehran,shiraz oo mashad you must know only exchange at banks is legal and exchange at other places is illegal and exchange agencies also are banned to exchange. At the airport there are 3 banks which exchange your money at official rate. As you said It’s better to exchange some money there to pay your taxi fare. Then if you have a iran health tour guide or a driver, ask him/her to help you exchange remainder in the city at a better rate.
which place of iran is famous for medical tourism?shiraz or tehran?
Both cities have high medical facilities. The only difference is the lower cost in Shiraz
For example, the lower cost of traveling within the city and the lower cost of the hotel and most importantly the lower cost of treatment
Hi
how much blepharoplasty in iran? Is Cheaper than istanbul or dehli??!!!
yes.
the cost of blepharoplasty(eyelid) in iran is half less india or turkey.
You would pay something between $800 and $1,800 for an eyelid correction procedure in Iran depending on whether you want to have both upper and lower lids corrected and the doctor you choose. The same procedure, however, costs around $1700-$2500 or more in the istanbul. It costs somewhere between $1700-$3200 in the dehli.
Of course, not only is the surgery of blepharoplasty, in all plastic surgery, including rhinoplasty, liposuction, hair transplant, abdominoplasty, breast lift,knee replacement etc.
The cost of treatment in Iran is very low than India and Turkey. In addition, Iranian surgeons have a much higher experience than surgeons in Turkey or India, and you can receive more quality medical services at a lower cost in Iran.
Except for the cost of treatment, the cost of accommodation in Iran and tourism in Iran is also lower than other countries, such as India or Turkey, for example, the cost of a night stay in a five star hotel in Iran is between $ 30 and $ 50.
can you get information from this website ?

how long after blepharoplasty surgery i can come back to my country with plan?
hello
a week after surgery you can come back to your country
Care after Eyelid Surgery:
After upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery, the eyelids typically feel tight; accompanying soreness may be treated with analgesics. For the first couple of days following the surgery, the incisions should be treated with ointment to keep them lubricated. Cold compresses can be placed on the eyes to reduce swelling as well. Eye drops will be necessary to help keep the eyes from drying out.
In the first week after the procedure, patients should avoid any activities that may dry up the eyes, including reading, watching television, wearing contacts, and using a computer. Swelling and bruising can be minimized by keeping the head elevated as much as possible during the first few days of recovery. The doctor will remove the stitches between two and seven days after the eyelid surgery procedure. Patients may feel well enough to resume normal activities around the tenth day of recovery.
why are surgical services in iran cheaper than another country in europe?
thanks
The main reason for the low cost of healthcare in iran is the fall down The value of the national currency of Iran(rial) between 2017 and 2019.

Should I consider a second revision (nosejob)
Please help me
Thanks
Please be patient. Consider to wait at least 6 months to a year before you will see the results after a secondary rhinoplasty, because the nose swells a lot. Only after this period you and tour surgeon can decide on what you should do next.
Could someone share your experience with me if you had done liposuction + breast augmentation together? Is it advisable do it separately? You can PM me. Thanks in advance.
Many women are opting to have liposuction and breast augmentation at the same time. Undergoing both surgeries allows for less recovery time and a lower cost.
There are risks with all surgeries. Combining two plastic surgery procedures means you only have to go under general anesthesia once. An all-at-once surgery also reduces your chances of a reaction or an infection. You can heal at your own pace.
Liposuction and breast augmentation are not the only plastic surgeries you can combine. This involves liposuction, a form of breast enhancement and an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).
But you don’t have to be a mother to combine plastic surgery procedures into a single surgery. Multiple procedures performed at once is fairly common. Sometimes, this produces less obtrusive scarring.
The best way to find out if liposuction and breast augmentation in tandem is right for you, is to consult a skilled iranian plastic surgeon .
