The cosmetic surgeries mentioned in the question are not permissible, even if they are for the husband only, because they may result in altering Allah’s creation. This is unless the disfigurement is clear and deviates from the norm, or if the improvement is achieved using medical drugs or exercises that do not cause harm.
