Hymenoplasty

Any torn skin around the edges of the hymen is gently and neatly cut away, after which the remaining tissue is stitched together, leaving a small opening. This restores the hymenal ring to normal size and shape.
If there is not enough skin to restore the hymen, or if a hymen is nonexistent, the surgeon may create one, using either some of the body’s own thin vaginal skin (vaginal mucosa).

Women may return to work the next day, strenuous activity and heavy lifting should be avoided. During the first 48 to 72 hours, there may be some slight bleeding, but this is perfectly normal. Full healing takes approximately six weeks. There will be no visible signs of surgery and it will be impossible to tell the difference between a natural hymen and a reconstructed one. At this time, the reconstruction process will be complete and all the sensations associated with virginal, first-time sex may be experienced.

Every procedure involves inherent risks. Although serious complications are extremely rare, Dr. Date educates every hymenoplasty patient about potential risks. Those risks can include, bruising around the surgical sites, infection, bleeding, , and general anaesthesia-related issues.
