Praise be to Allaah.
There is
nothing wrong with having an operation to construct an artificial breast,
because that comes under the heading of removing a defect and restoring the
shape to the way it was created by Allah.
The basic
principle concerning that is the report narrated by Abu Dawood (4232),
al-Tirmidhi (1770) and al-Nasaa’i (5161), from ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Tarafah
that his grandfather ‘Arfajah ibn As’ad had his nose cut off in the battle
of al-Kulaab, and he wore a nose made of silver, but it began to stink, so
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) told him to get a
nose made of gold. This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Albaani in
Saheeh Abi Dawood.
It says in
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (25/62): I am a young man, eighteen years old.
Four years ago my breast became prominent and that was accompanied by some
pain. After a while, the pain went away, praise be to Allaah, but the
prominence remained. This prominence of my breast is obvious even under
clothing. I asked the specialist about that and he said that this can easily
be removed by means of cosmetic surgery. Is it permissible to have this
surgery? Please note that this problem causes me embarrassment in front of
other people.
They
replied: It is permissible for you to have cosmetic surgery to remove this
prominence if it is thought most likely that the surgery will be successful
and that the harms will not outweigh or be equal to the benefits.
And Allaah
is the Source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our
Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.

They were
also asked (25/59): one of my colleagues had gotten married, praise be to
Allaah, but he came to me and said that his wife wants to have cosmetic
surgery on her face and breasts, because her nose is large and wide, and she
wants to reduce it by means of the easy methods that modern science has
developed. Is there any doubt about this surgery or is there any sin
involved? Please note that not doing it may lead to psychological distress
because this fault appears so prominently on her face.
They
replied: If the situation is as described, and there is the hope that the
surgery will be successful and will not lead to a greater or equal harm,
then it is permissible to do it in order to achieve the desired purpose,
otherwise it is not permissible.
And Allaah
is the Source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our
Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.

There is nothing wrong with taking some skin from the back to complete the operation.
And Allah knows best.
