Cosmetic Surgery for Men
Question :
I am now a young man eighteen years of age, and I have been suffering from a disconcerting problem for a long time. Four years ago, my breasts began to grow and protrude very conspicuously, and at the same time, I would feel a lot of pain. A short while after that, the pain stopped all praise is due to Allâh but the protrusion of my breasts remained. They would stick out very clearly, even from under my clothing. When I asked my doctor about my condition, he said that, resorting to a simple operation, he could remove the excess, making my chest look normal. Is it permissible for me to undergo this operation? Please keep in mind that the protrusion I referred to causes me to always be embarrassed in front of others.
Answer:
If the doctor is confident about the success of the A operation, and if the surgery does not cause more harm than the benefit it brings by going through with it, or it would be equal to the same amount of harm, it is permissible for you to have this operation. May Allah send peace and blessings upon Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
