Is the woman who exposes her body to male doctors for breast augmentation surgery, after her chest was severely disfigured, considered sinful, knowing that she was compelled to do so for financial reasons and to alleviate psychological harm, and her intention was to remove the disfigurement, not to increase beauty?

It is permissible to remove deformities if they cause repulsion and harm. However, it is not permissible to seek treatment from a male doctor if a female doctor is available to perform the procedure. But if a female doctor is not available due to financial circumstances, then there is no harm in seeking treatment from a male doctor, after striving to find a permissible alternative.
