The answer

Plastic surgery is divided into two types: permissible for correcting a defect or restoring a function, and forbidden for enhancing beauty. The procedure mentioned in the question falls under the permissible type. Scholars have differed regarding the permissibility of a male doctor treating a woman for non-essential reasons. The preponderant opinion in this case is permissibility, especially since the procedure will be performed on the face.
