The answer

It is permissible to use injections, ointments, or pastes for treating disfigurement and an unsightly appearance, provided that no harm results from their use, and they are not for increasing beauty or involve deception and fraud. This is supported by the principle "harm is to be removed," and by the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) permission for a man whose nose was cut off to fashion a nose of gold.
