Plastic Surgery as Viewed in Jurisprudence and Law

Plastic surgery is one of the modern scientific achievements. There are two kinds of plastic surgery: cosmetic and reconstructive. The focal question in this article is about the legal and juridical arguments on the legality or permissibility of reconstructive surgery. After verifying the references, it was concluded that all Shiite jurisprudents allow this kind of surgery due to the following reasons:1. The reports on the permissibility of treatment also includes treatment surgery with the reconstruction purpose.
2. The human reason considers it necessary to avert harm as well as the harm that may come from illness that needs reconstruction.
3. The principle of 'no unbearable difficulty' allows us to avert the difficulty of illnesses that requires reconstruction.
4. Necessity is the main reason for permissibility of medical activity (such as reconstructive surgery).
The non-materialization of change in the primary creation as a result of reconstructive surgery is yet another reason for its permissibility.
