Doing plastic surgery to straighten the nose
Question
My daughter has a strange nose. It is very asymmetrical where one side is bigger, wider and a different shape. It does not bother her or cause her physical harm and she is unaware due to young age but I fear when she does realise this defect. I contemplate would she be able to do plastic surgery in order to correct this and if not, what actions should I take so that she does not feel insecure?
Answer
It is permissible to do the surgery.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
