The matter concerning cosmetic surgeries is detailed as follows: if the surgery is to remove a visible disfigurement, then it is permissible to perform it; but if it is merely for beautification, then it is not permissible. For the definition of disfigurement that warrants such procedures, please refer to no. 119954.
