What is Hymenoplasty?
Hymenoplasty, also known as hymen reconstruction or hymenorrhaphy, is a surgical procedure that restores the hymen to its original size and appearance. The intact hymen is a thin membrane composed of connective tissue with a central opening which is usually round. The thickness and elasticity of the hymen vary, and it may sometimes stretch without breaking or tearing at the time of first sexual penetration. After the hymen has broken and healed, the remnants appear as small skin tags known as hymenal remnants or the carunculae myrtiformes. Hymenoplasty repairs these breaks to create a natural virgin hymen that will look and function exactly like the original.
The Procedure: Quick, Mild & Comfortable
The Procedure is Mild
Hymenoplasty takes less than 30 minutes to perform. It is usually done under local anesthesia. You may drive yourself home. You may return to work on the same day. Laser and radiofrequency technologies are used, as needed, to maximize the quality of the tissue reconstruction. We can reconstruct your hymen to the size of a natural virgin hymen. It will look real and it will leave no sign that a surgery has been performed.
Recovery: Painless & Simple
The Recovery is Painless
Hymenoplasty recovery is painless. You will not require painkillers. You will not experience discomfort. You may travel on an airplane the same day. Hymenoplasty is done with ultra-fine dissolving stitches that leave no trace of surgery once healed.
Healing Timeline
Full Healing Takes 8 Weeks
It takes 8 weeks for the dissolving stitches to dissolve completely. If you are planning to have this procedure in preparation for your wedding, be sure that your wedding date is more than eight weeks after your hymenoplasty. Otherwise, the stitches will still be present. Most women who seek hymenoplasty undergo this procedure 2–6 months before their wedding date, but having the surgery more than six months beforehand does not affect the quality of the results and is an excellent option for women with a busy schedule.
