Hymenoplasty – Virginity Restoration Surgery

Hymenoplasty – Virginity Restoration Surgery

About Hymenoplasty

Hymenoplasty, also known as revirginization or virginity restoration surgery, is a cosmetic gynecological procedure that reconstructs the hymen, a thin membrane partially covering the vaginal opening. The hymen may tear due to sports, cycling, tampon use, medical examinations, or sexual intercourse. Hymenoplasty is a safe and minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia by experienced gynecologists. 

At Dr. Mayuri’s Gynecology Clinic, Jaipur, it is done as an OPD procedure lasting around 45 minutes to 1 hour. During surgery, the torn hymenal edges are carefully stitched together, leaving a small natural opening for healing and recovery.

How it Works

Procedure Details

In hymenoplasty, the procedure begins with administration of local anesthesia. The surgeon then identifies the torn hymenal edges and gently refreshes or trims them to create clean margins. These edges are carefully stitched together using very fine, absorbable sutures to reconstruct the hymen, leaving a small natural opening. Once completed, the area is cleaned and dressed, and the patient is discharged within a few hours.

Hymenoplasty is generally safe and minimally invasive when performed by an experienced gynecologist, with low risk of complications. Rarely, mild bleeding, infection, swelling, discomfort, itching, or discharge may occur. Benefits include psychological comfort, improved self-confidence, emotional healing, and personal satisfaction. It does not affect fertility, menstruation, or future pregnancy, and absorbable stitches dissolve within 3–4 weeks in most cases.

Recovery after hymenoplasty is usually quick and smooth. The procedure takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, and patients can go home the same day. Most women can resume normal work from the next day itself. Mild pain, slight bleeding, or discomfort may occur for a few days, which is normal. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided until complete healing. Absorbable stitches dissolve within 3 to 4 weeks, while full recovery may take up to 6 weeks to 3 months, after which healing is complete.

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience excessive bleeding, severe or persistent pain, foul-smelling discharge, intense itching, or swelling and redness in the vaginal area.
