Question

Does Islam allow a woman to do breast augmentation? I have been through a couple of articles on the internet which says you can, however it depends on your reason for wanting to increase the breast size.

My reason: I am really flat chested, my breasts never grew at all, not even after having two kids. I am married so I'm not doing this to beautify myself for other men, I just really feel uncomfortable and embarrassed and just want to increase my breast size a little so that it can look "normal".

Answer

Undergoing this treatment for beautification and cosmetic reasons is not permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
