well no, cosmetic and reconstructive are different. Theres alot of overlap between the two but somewhere a line exists between one field and the other. The issue is where the line is drawn. As far as I'm concerned, individual muslim practitioners who choose to draw the line should each decide for themselves where it is because they are the ones who are qualified to do so. Thats just my opinion.
I have my own views on what a muslim plastic surgeon should and shouldnt do but those are just my own personal opinions. If i'm a plastic surgeon at some point rather than a doctor in some other field, then those opinions are going to be the basis for how I run my practice. Again, another person could choose to ask somebody with a Doctorate from Al-Azhar in the Islamic sciences about whether certain procedures are allowed or not. Personal preferences, i guess
This is the same argument as the one regarding various abortion procedures, but in this case the stakes are much lower
