Reconstruction permanente de l'hymen
The hymen is a thin tissue layer surrounding the vaginal area. It can easily tear in many situations other than intercourse, such as strenuous activities like horseback riding, gymnastics, or the insertion of tampons.
At our Plastic Surgery Clinic, we fully understand the delicate nature of hymenoplasty and what this surgery may mean in a woman’s life. Increasingly, women are opting for hymenoplasty for various reasons; some seek this procedure to fulfill cultural or religious beliefs, others find psychological and emotional relief after sexual abuse or trauma, and some women seek it for the restoration of a hymen damaged for other reasons outside of intercourse. Whatever your reason, you should not feel alone or uncomfortable with your choice of hymenoplasty surgery.
What is Hymenoplasty?
The hymen is a thin tissue layer surrounding the vaginal area. It can easily tear in many situations other than intercourse. Many women may not even notice their hymen has torn since there may be little bleeding or no pain at all.
Hymenoplasty, also known as hymen repair surgery, is a simple procedure to repair a torn hymen.
Patients who undergo hymenoplasty will have their hymen restored so that it will tear naturally during the first sexual intercourse, just as a natural hymen would. Typically, there are no signs that a hymenoplasty has been performed, and our patients can fully meet their cultural or religious expectations.
Why is it Done?
Women may choose permanent hymenoplasty for various reasons:
- Cultural or religious reasons: In some cultures and religions, it is important for the hymen to remain intact before marriage.
- Psychological reasons: Some women feel more confident and comfortable with an intact hymen.
- Physical reasons: In some women, the hymen may tear or stretch due to childbirth or other traumatic events. This can lead to issues like vaginal looseness or urinary incontinence.
How is it Done?
Permanent hymenoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia. During the procedure, the torn or stretched tissue of the hymen is surgically repaired and sutured. The procedure takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Recovery Process:
After permanent hymenoplasty, rest and recovery are essential for a few days. Painkillers and antibiotics may be prescribed. It is important to wait at least 6 weeks before engaging in sexual intercourse.
Permanent Hymenoplasty Methods

Natural-Looking Hymen
Laser permanent hymenoplasty, also known as Hymenoraphy, should ideally be performed at least 3-4 weeks before marriage, if not earlier. After adequate healing, the hymen appears, feels, and moves like a natural hymen. This allows the hymen to break and bleed during penetration, just as a natural one would. It is a myth that the hymen never heals; with proper Istanbul hymenoplasty and proper care, it heals beautifully. The surgery lasts 30-40 minutes, and there may be some discomfort for a few hours afterward. For the procedure to be effective, it should be performed at least 3-4 weeks, preferably 6 weeks, before marriage.

Super Hymenoraphy Permanent Hymen Repair Procedure
This is the best and most reliable type of Hymenoraphy. It is the technique where bleeding occurs after the first sexual act. It gives more pleasure to the couple. Since only torn parts are needed to create the super hymen, there is no difficulty in the procedure. The breaking of the hymen and loss of virginity can occur due to the person’s choice or uncontrollable circumstances. In this case, ‘permanent hymen repair’ and re-virginization are provided. In the super hymenoplasty repair, the amount and length of previous sexual activity are irrelevant. It can even be performed in women who have had abortions or miscarriages. After Hymenoraphy surgery, no scars remain. Known as ‘super Hymenoraphy procedure,’ it is a type of permanent hymen repair, with the aim of achieving bleeding similar to the first night. Permanent hymenoplasty is sometimes referred to as “long-term repair” or “permanent repair.”
Post-Surgery Recovery Process for Permanent Hymenoplasty
You will be allowed to go home on the same day as your treatment, and while you can return to work the next day, we recommend taking things slow to allow your body to heal and giving yourself time to rest. After hymenoplasty surgery, you will need to gently clean the area regularly with soap and water. Mild swelling and bruising will occur for 2-4 weeks, but discomfort should be minimal and should disappear within a week after surgery. You will be prescribed painkillers and antibiotics to help with any discomfort and prevent infection.
If you are having hymenoplasty before your wedding, avoid any vaginal penetration, including tampon use, until the wedding night. This will ensure the proper healing of the wounds and prevent the new hymen from tearing. Tight innerwear (like thongs), heavy lifting, and strenuous activities should also be avoided, as they could negatively impact your healing. The stitches will dissolve on their own. A week after the surgery, you should be able to resume light exercise. Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise routines for 4-6 weeks.
Are the Results of Hymenoplasty Permanent?
Hymenoplasty procedures are considered permanent. The repaired hymen will generally remain intact until the first sexual intercourse after the surgery. Unless the hymen is broken by intense activities, vaginal entry, or other unforeseen reasons, the hymen will remain intact for months following the surgery.
