First of all, we would like to stress that we cannot issue a rigid ruling that all forms of cosmetic surgery are forbidden. When cosmetic surgery has a beneficial and legitimate purpose, then it may be considered permissible, encouraged, or even obligatory.
Sheikh Muhammad Nur Abdullah, President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and member of the Fiqh Council of North America, states the following: “In general, if plastic surgery is sought for the purpose of excessive beautification that would change the creation of Allah, then it is not allowed.
However, if the surgery is resorted to with a view to removing some kind of disfigurement that causes the Muslim psychological problems, like if the Muslim has extremely big or crooked nose, then it is allowed to resort to plastic surgery in this case.”
Based on the above, we conclude that it is permissible for you to carry out plastic surgery to treat your crooked nose, especially when it causes you psychological problems that you can’t bear.
