Question:
Asalamu Alykum,my question is regard cosmetic surgery. Alhamduallah, I like the way i look, and I do not wish to make myself look better. However, while looking at my side profile my nose makes me look like I look mad. I know this is hard to imagine, but I have a big bumb or as they call it a bridge. I keep getting asked why R u mad? Why r u giving me a mean look? Or if i’m trying to explain something i get comments like ok relax y do u have this look on ur face? Wallahy this is so hard to deal with, especially when ppl tell me “at first I thought u didn’t like me because of the way u looked at me” but wallahy I would have no idea what they are talking about!! Inside of me, I am happy and I don’t look at anyone in a mean way, but my face says otherwise. If I were to get a surgery for my nose, I wouldn’t make it look different I would just want to remove the big bumb. Is this still impermissible? Please give me an advice, I am so lost and depressed.
I don’t want to be from what the shytan mentioned; the ppl he will convince to change Allah’s creation. Jazaka Allahu Khayran.
Answer:
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
We have already issued Fataawa 87848 and 83177 clarifying the ruling of undergoing plastic surgery, so please refer to them.
Based on that, if this abnormality is big and you are harmed by it, and it is possible to remove it without causing any other harm, then it is permissible to undergo a surgical operation for this effect. However, if those conditions [in the above Fataawa] are not met, then it becomes forbidden to undergo the operation because it is changing Allaah’s creation.
