Allah ﷻ calls Himself Al-Musawwir— The Fashioner, The Bestower of Forms. He is the One who forms and shapes all that exists. Al-Musawwir gave everything its own distinct shape and inclination or desire – despite the great variety of the creation – every single creature is unique.
linguistically, khaaliq, baari', and musawwir are interrelated in meaning and deal with the aspects of Allah ﷻ as Creator; all the rest is creation. Al-Musawwir bestows forms and not by way of copying— He is far above that. Al-Musawwir says "ʙᴇ! ᴀɴᴅ ɪᴛ ɪs", with the attributes and the form that He has chosen for it. He does what He wills and creates what He wills in the form that He wills.
In Surah al-Hashr, Al-Musawwir' is mentioned after al-Khaaliq (The Creator) and al-Baari' (The Originator). Some scholars have said that in this ayah the attribute of creation refers specifically to Allah's determination of what He creates:- Al-Khaaliq is the One Who created from nothing all creatures that exist, according to their decreed qualities. Al-Baari' is the One Who made man from al-baraa, i.e., clay. Al-Musawwir is the One Who creates various forms and shapes. so al-Khaaliq is a general word, al-Baari' is more specific and al-Musawwir is even more specific [by Dr. Hissah al-Sagheer].
We live in a time of cosmetic surgery; if you don't like how you look, you can change yourself with a medical procedure. Allah ﷻ says:
{ʜᴇ ɪᴛ ɪs ᴡʜᴏ sʜᴀᴘᴇs ʏᴏᴜ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏᴍʙs ᴀs ʜᴇ ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇs. ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ɪs ɴᴏ ɢᴏᴅ ʙᴜᴛ ʜᴇ, ᴛʜᴇ ᴍɪɢʜᴛʏ, ᴛʜᴇ ᴡɪsᴇ.}
[𝟹:𝟼]
Be content with how Al-Musawwir shaped you by His ultimate wisdom. for example, if we were as beautiful as the Prophet Yuusuf ﷺ, would we be able to withstand the temptations he faced? when you look at yourself in the mirror, always say Alhamdulillah. and don't let Shaytan make you doubt the perfection that Allah bestowed you as Allah ﷻ says:-
{لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍۢ }
{Indeed, We created humans in the best form }
[95:4]
