Are Labiaplasty and the Use of Breast Fillers Permissible?


Question: Are labiaplasty and the use of breast fillers permissible for solely aesthetic reasons?

Answer: Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Dear questioner,

Thank you for your important question.

May Allah make you and all believing women beautiful in His eyes and in the eyes of their husbands.

In answer to your question, if it is clear to correct an obvious and agreed upon medical concern in your body, then it would be fine. I’d check with other doctors as well to see if they also agree that there is actually a medical concern.

As for mere breast enlargement using fillers, as long as the likelihood of medical harm is not high,  then it would be permissible. See:
