Dr. Asiya Staff asked 2 weeks ago

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi. I have undergone bariatric surgery, which resulted in significant weight loss. The skin on my abdomen has become loose and saggy, which sometimes bothers me. Can I undergo a Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty)? My husband also dislikes the saggy skin. This procedure falls under cosmetic surgeries, so can I do this from an Islamic perspective?

Your skin has started to become loose and saggy, which bothers you. Putting that aside for a moment, leaving this condition [excess skin] can also carry the risk of several diseases. Furthermore, your husband also dislikes it.
Ask yourself whether you are having this procedure done for the sake of looking beautiful or out of necessity.
May Allah grant ease for you. Ameen.
