Cosmetic surgery to make oneself look normal

Q: My face is unsymmetrical. One side of my face is droopy than the other. I know in Islam it’s forbidden to get injections/surgery without medical reason but would I be allowed to get my cheeks lifted for this reason?

A: Yes, it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
