Although virginity may carry less moral weight in the context of marriage today, in certain traditionalist societies, such as Arab cultures, it remains a significant factor.

While it may seem extreme in some cases, it is an important reality for some women who have decided to marry. For them, maintaining an intact hymen symbolizes chastity. For this reason, plastic surgery offers women who have had sexual experiences the possibility of restoring virginity.

This procedure is performed through a vaginal surgery called hymenoplasty (commonly referred to as re-virginization), which involves reconstructing the hymen. The hymen is a thin membrane located at the entrance of the vagina, typically ring-shaped, though anatomical variations may exist.

It is important to note that hymenoplasty, or re-virginization surgery, can also be chosen by women without social pressure simply as a personal decision, which is completely valid.

How Is Hymenoplasty Performed?

This vaginal procedure is completed in approximately one hour, does not require general anesthesia, and is performed on an outpatient basis while the patient is in a gynecological position. The anesthesiologist ensures the patient is sedated to rest comfortably during the procedure without experiencing pain.

There are two techniques to reconstruct the hymen, depending on its condition. If remnants remain, they are joined together; if none exist, a small portion of vaginal mucosa is used to form a ring.

What Precautions Should Be Taken After Surgery?

The patient only needs to rest for the first 24 hours after surgery to avoid the risk of tearing and should abstain from sexual activity and physical exercise for at least one month.

It is important to note that slight bleeding may occur during the first 72 hours. Additionally, it is not necessary for the patient to visit the plastic surgeon to remove stitches, as absorbable sutures are used and dissolve on their own.
