It should be noted that the surgery involves altering the creation of Allah, and leaving it may annoy her husband since this defect clearly appears in her face. (Part No. 25; Page No. 60

A: If the case is as mentioned and the surgery is expected to be successful without entailing considerable harm, it will be permissible for the woman to have it in order to achieve the desired interest. Otherwise, it will not be permissible.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
