Is breast augmentation surgery permissible for an unmarried girl who has been ridiculed for her small breasts, knowing that she does not wish to alter God's creation? And is a girl with small breasts less self-confident and feminine?

Breast augmentation, if done to enhance beauty and appearance, is forbidden and considered an alteration of Allah's creation. However, if breast augmentation is achieved using harmless medical drugs and pharmaceuticals, there is no objection to it, and it is not considered an alteration of Allah's creation. One must be content with Allah's decree and destiny, and look to those who are less fortunate to avoid disdain for Allah's blessings. Also, mixing with non- men must be avoided, except within legitimate Islamic guidelines.
