Hymenoplasty

Hymenoplasty is a surgical procedure for the repair and reconstruction of the thin, ring-like skin membrane that partially covers the opening of the vagina, which is called the hymen. The hymen is made of elastic and fibrous tissue. When the hymen tears, bleeding occurs, this normally happens when a woman has her first sexual intercourse encounter and it's what we refer to as being deflowered or loosing virginity.



With hymenoplasty, your surgeon will pull the tissue back together to restore you to virgin-like state. In some cases, a woman may tear her hymen by inserting a tampon, or during sports like bicycling, horseback riding, or even gymnastics, without even knowing it. And because the biological function of the hymen is still uncertain, its social function is highly regarded as a symbol of virginity in many cultures. For those women who need the surgery for ethnic, cultural or religious reasons, this cosmetic surgery can help restore not only their physical state, but their peace of mind as well.

Hymenoplasty also has the unique benefit of tightening the vaginal wall that can provide you with greater sexual satisfaction.

Hymenoplasty Procedure

Hymenoplasty surgery takes between one to two hours and you should be able to return to work the next day. Restoration of the hymen is done on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia or sedation. Before your surgery, you will need to have a pre-surgical consultation and thorough gynecological examination. During this consultation, you should tell your doctor if you have any special needs or requests and what your expectations are. Your surgeon should also explain all of the possible risks and benefits to hymenoplasty at this time.
