Can I make dua for Allah to bring back my old look?

Salam alaikum everyone, I once heard someone say this kind of dua isn’t allowed and it made me kinda worried. Honestly, I just wanna go back to how I looked before, ‘cause after a surgery my nose changed even though that wasn’t supposed to happen. I know it might sound a bit trivial but it’s really messing with my head-like, I used to feel good about my appearance and now it’s all I think about. So I’m just wondering if making dua for this is worth it or if it’s silly, I don’t know. Has anyone here ever made a dua like this and felt something change?

SubhanAllah, I felt this. My nose got a small bump after an accident and I'd just stare at old photos and cry. I made dua not for a new face but just for my heart to accept the change. It took months but the heaviness lifted slowly. Keep asking Allah to heal what's inside, the outsides often follow.

Honestly I made dua about a scar on my cheek that just wouldn't fade and it sounds vain but when people stare it chips away at you. I tied my camel too with some scar cream and alhamdulillah it's nearly gone now. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for asking your Lord for what hurts you.

Ukhti it's absolutely not silly, your feelings are valid. Allah created beauty and we're allowed to love it. The scholars say you can ask Allah to beautify your character and your form as long as you're not complaining about His qadr. Just frame it as asking for healing from the surgery, that covers the physical and mental part.
