What is Hymenoplasty? Hymen Repair

By Dr. Jim Greene

When it comes to the body of a woman, there are many things in which the woman may dislike about their own body, whether it is for ethnical reasons or even for the reason of a past pregnancy, more and more women are looking into a hymenoplasty procedure as a means of repairing their hymen. While most surgeons will not perform the hymenoplasty procedure for reasons of birth, there are some that will so it has been included.

The hymen is the membrane which covers the vagina until which time that it becomes ruptured. This can usually occur during the woman's first intercourse experience but may also rupture from any number of reasons. Accidents from which the woman may have fallen from a bicycle or even jumping from the high-dive platform at the local pool can cause the hymen to rupture. In many religions, it is also the important tell-tale sign that the woman has had an intercourse experience. Some women who have had their hymen rupture may not want their future husband to see it this way and will decide to undergo a hymenoplasty surgery as a means of returning them to their fully virgin status.

The hymenoplasty procedure is basically a reconstruction surgery of the hymen membrane. This membrane which can be found in the back 1/3 of the vagina covers the vaginal opening. In some cases this can rupture by an accident or a fall resulting in a full opening or even several small tears. In the hymenoplasty procedure, these tears or openings are fixed and closed up. The hymen is never really 100% closed though; there is always a small start shaped opening to allow fluids out during menstruation as well as to allow it to be torn during the first intercourse experience. The procedure itself is aimed at basically restoring the hymen to its virgin status.

Since the hymen is a sign of virginity, it is therefore the main reason why the majority of plastic surgeons will not perform it on a woman who has given birth. In some cases though, there may be underlying reasons for performing this procedure after undergoing a pregnancy which can include things like a rape which resulted in a pregnancy. Regardless of the reasons it is important to speak to your surgeon to determine if you are eligible to undergo the surgery.

The hymenal ring normally gets disrupted after a woman has had sexual intercourse or even after strenuous physical activity or tampon use. Sometimes, for cultural or other personal reasons (for example, an upcoming marriage), a woman would like to restore a more intact, tighter hymenal ring and experience vaginal bleeding and pain with the "first" sexual intercourse. Using a special surgical technique, our expert cosmetic and board-certified gynecological surgeon, Dr. Robert Rho, with over 15 years experience, performs hymen repair surgery to tighten and restore the hymen to a more intact, virgin-like state. Laser is available as an option. Because of a wide variation among hymenal and vaginal states, Dr. Rho customizes the hymen repair surgery or hymenoplasty to the individual needs and expectations of the patient, as are discussed during the required pre-surgical consultation and thorough gynecological examination. In most cases, the hymen repair surgery or hymenoplasty is virtually undetectable after complete healing, and our patients have been extremely pleased with Dr. Robert Rho's amazing, very natural-looking hymen repair surgery results.
