The answer

It is permissible to undergo breast augmentation surgery if their small size hinders breastfeeding and causes the woman embarrassment with her husband, because it is considered the removal of a defect, not an enhancement. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen indicated the permissibility of breast augmentation if they are small and do not provide enough milk for the child.
