About Hymenoplasty Surgery In Vapi

  • According to cosmetic plastic surgeons at Vatsalya Hospital, known for providing the best hymenoplasty surgery in Vapi , the hymen is a delicate, thin, crescent-shaped membranous tissue. It is a part of the vaginal tissue that partially encloses the entrance of the lower part of the vaginal canal. Some females are born without a hymen, while others may have their hymen completely covering the opening of their vaginal canal.

    To date, many people relate the hymen with the virginity of women and say that this elastic, fibrous tissue is only supposed to be torn at the time of first sexual intercourse of the women with their married partner. But, in reality, every woman may not have an intact hymen. Some women can have their hymen broken because of the insertion of tampons, sudden vigorous activities like cycling, horseback riding, gymnastics, or a physical accident. Others may get their hymen torn due to regular pap smear tests. Most of the time, women are unaware of their ruptured hymen because of little or no blood loss.

    Hymenoplasty is an aesthetic surgical practice to repair or reconstruct a ruptured/torn hymen. It is beneficial for women who live in a society that governs the chastity or purity of females. Some many cultures and religions consider the hymen a symbol of chastity. It is even a boon for sexually assault victims who want to lessen their pain and trauma. With hymenoplasty in Vapi , women can get a rejuvenated hymen, which could make them feel younger.

Procedure Overview

Surgical techniques

  • Hymenoplasty surgery is generally performed under local anesthesia but may even be carried out under general anesthesia. The type of anesthesia is chosen based on the surgeon’s recommendations, the patient’s preferences, and the safety of the anesthesia determined by the anesthesiologist.

    Hymenoplasty surgery in Vapi at Vatsalya Hospital is a daycare procedure lasting for less than 1-1.5 hours. The longevity of the procedure depends upon various factors, including age and status/condition of the hymen to be restored.

    Different surgical approaches can be utilized by the surgeon depending on the condition of the hymen and what needs to be corrected. These include:

    • Basic technique– In this approach, the surgeon replaces the torn hymen layer with a new membranous layer. It is usually performed by taking out the thin layer of the vaginal opening and delicately stitching it securely in place where the original hymen was present. Over time, this new tissue layer pools in blood, which comes out in appropriate amounts during sexual intercourse.
    • Hymen reconstruction in Vapi– This technique involves gathering tags of the original hymen, the tissues of the lip of the vagina, and then using them to reconstruct the hymen. The tissues taken for hymen reconstruction resemble the shape of a ring-like structure or narrow tube and so they give an impression of the original hymen when grafted or stitched in place of the original hymen. This reconstructed hymen will also bleed after being torn at the time of sexual intercourse. After this procedure, the patient needs to abstain from sex for 3 months to ensure complete healing of the reconstructed hymen.
    • All plant technique– This technique utilizes the insertion of a tear-through biomaterial into the vagina that completely acts as the original hymen. It is recommended for the patient whose torn hymen is beyond repair or who lacks a hymen.

Risks and Complications

There are some minor risks and complications associated with hymenoplasty. If the patients follow all post-surgical instructions, then the chances of complications would be minimal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vaginal Tightening Surgery

The success of hymenoplasty depends upon various factors, including:

Age of the patient
Status/Condition of the Hymen
Patient’s health status
The doctor’s team/surgeon’s expertise
The technique implemented by the surgeon
However, according to the current statistics, hymenoplasty has a high success rate of about 90%.

How long is the recovery period after the hymenoplasty surgery?

The recovery timing for hymenoplasty varies among different patients. Typically, the patient can resume work within 1-2 days and expect to wait for 4-6 weeks to get fully healed. The patient may have to experience extended recovery if she is not taking precautions before and after her surgery.

Does hymenoplasty cause scars?

Hymenoplasty is a surgical procedure involving the making of cuts and their suturing; thus scars do form during healing. However, these scars are nearly invisible and remain hidden in the natural folds of the hymen. After the surgery, no one would be able to trace that the hymenoplasty surgery took place because the scars are not visible. This is the major reason why the surgery is in great demand among women.

Will my hymenoplasty surgery be confidential?

Yes, don’t worry. Your surgery has some natural effects, and the scars are not visible. No one would be able to tell that you have undergone surgery and your hymen is repaired or reconstructed. The surgeon, too, would keep all your details of surgery private.
