Is cosmetic surgery allowed in Islam?

Existing Quran Wisdom answer. No named author or scholarly review is recorded here. Check references and seek qualified advice for a personal ruling.

Cosmetic surgery for genuine medical needs or to correct deformities is permissible. Purely vanity-driven changes that alter Allah's creation unnecessarily are discouraged. The Quran teaches contentment with how Allah created us while allowing treatment for genuine physical or psychological distress.
