Abstract

 
Today, in order to satisfy the inner feeling of wanting to be beautiful and to become beautiful and look beautiful in the structure and shape of the body, different methods and various changes are suggested. One of these methods is cosmetic surgery, which is performed in different ways. Ethical examination of this practice, which has become common among men and women and has become the concern of many people, can familiarize them with related norms and anomalies. The question of this research is that what values should the actor observe before and after doing this act in order to adorn it with virtues and be protected from its ugliness and moral damage. The first hypothesis of the research is that the value of this practice from the point of view of Islamic ethics depends on the observance of Sharia teachings and religious principles. The second hypothesis is that before proceeding with cosmetic surgery, one must have a pure and non-imitation intention and also have the right plan. The third hypothesis is that after taking action, he should avoid boasting and deception, as well as neglecting spiritual beauties. Research is done with Quranic and narrative information and ethical and jurisprudential analysis based on verses and traditions. The purpose of the research is the application of ethical values related to cosmetic surgery in this practice.
