Is it permissible to perform a silicone breast augmentation surgery for a wife who suffers from small breast size, which causes psychological distress to both the husband and wife?

If the wife's breast size is unusually small, there is no harm in performing surgery to enlarge it, because this falls under the category of removing a defect and harm, not seeking beauty. It should be noted that the operation should be performed by a female doctor if available, and it is better to achieve the desired outcome through medications and drugs if possible.
