Medical treatment

Q: Can we take homeopathic medicine with alcohol for kidney stones?

Q: Do you think I can get a fixed (permanent) retainer as opposed to a plastic retainer for my teeth which I can get off and on, just for the simple reason that I feel like a plastic retainer which you take on and off and have to possibly wear forever, will be a nuisance? There have been cases where not wearing your retainer will result in your teeth shifting, which would be a huge waste of money that was spent on braces. I feel like a fixed retainer will be easier for me.

Q: Me and my husband have beta thalassemia trait and have been offered ivf. I would like to know if it is permissable to get it tested before they implant the fetus.

Q: I wanted to know if it would be a gunnah if I had breast implants.

My reasons for wanting to do it is because of black magic. Due to black magic I have lost my appearance totally to the extent where it's really embarrassing for me. Now I want to know if it's allowed to get implants only for my husband as I know he doesn't like my appearance. I don't want to cheat on him or anything. I just want to correct what the black magic has done to me.

Can you please tell me if it will be a gunnah.
