It is permissible for a wife to improve the size and shape of her body for her husband if it is done through permissible means such as exercise, diet, and massage. Surgery is not allowed unless a person is harmed by the large size of some parts of their body, which hinders their movement or significantly disfigures their appearance. It is also stipulated that the method used should not have side effects that affect a person's health.
