Hymenoplasty New York City

What is Hymenoplasty?

Also known as hymen restoration surgery, hymenoplasty is a pain-free surgical procedure for reconstructing the hymen. The hymen is a thin membrane enclosing the vaginal opening that can break due to intercourse, the usage of tampons or even rigorous activities like swimming, cycling, gymnastics and horseback riding.

While the hymen repair surgery does not restore virginity, the membrane breakage makes women bleed the first time they engage in intercourse post-surgery. Hymenoplasty is usually done for personal convenience, cultural or religious reasons and also for vaginal tightening.

This simple process of hymen repair involves stitching the torn edges together using dissolvable stitches. With no signs of the patient having undergone hymenoplasty, the hymen heals and becomes as good as natural 6 weeks after the surgery.

Who Can Undergo Hymenoplasty?

Any woman seeking to restore their broken hymen, whether for personal reasons, due to sexual abuse & trauma, in order to fulfill their cultural and religious beliefs or simply to revitalize their sexual life, can opt for a hymen reconstruction surgery.

However, it is important that patients undergoing this surgery are in good health. This procedure is widespread among women who have been victims of physical abuse and require emotional and psychological support that hymen repair can assist with.

Hymenoplasty is also sought-after by patients who want their hymen intact before/during intercourse on their matrimonial night. If this is the case, please note that the surgery should be performed at least 6 weeks before the special night. For any other reason, our expert hymenoplasty surgeon will be able to cater to our patients’ requests and answer any questions.

Hymenoplasty Preparation & Recovery

Each hymen repair surgery differs from another, so once an appointment for the hymenoplasty is confirmed, our surgeon, along with our patient coordinator, will advise the patient on the best ways to prepare for the surgery. From Dos and Don’ts to recovery guidelines, pain medication and antibiotics following the surgery, the patient will be provided with all information customized for each.

Hymen reconstruction is an outpatient procedure, and patients are discharged once it is over. The surgery might be followed by bruising and slight swelling for 2-4 weeks, along with minimal pain that should resolve within a week.

Patients undergoing hymenoplasty before their wedding are advised to refrain from vaginal insertions until the hymen is completely healed. Furthermore, they should also not engage in any strenuous activities as it might disrupt recovery.
