Cosmetic surgery on the nose to avoid being made fun of

Question: 10227

Is it permissible for a person to have nose reduction surgery, because he is being exposed to ridicule and he cannot bear it?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about this and he replied:

 I do not know of any reservations or any reason why this should be haraam, if it is possible to do it.
