Hymenoplasty in Ibiza
hymenoplasty service in Ibiza to regain your confidence
Among the cosmetic genital surgery procedures we perform in our aesthetic clinic in Ibiza is hymenoplasty. In the following guide, we tell you about this surgical procedure so you can learn if it’s right for you.
WHAT HYMENOPLASTY CONSISTS OF
Hymenoplasty, or hymen restoration surgery, is performed to repair or reconstruct the hymen.
The hymen is a thin membrane located at the entrance of the vagina. Because it can tear for a variety of reasons (as we will see below), there is this cosmetic genital surgery to help women rebuild it.
It is a procedure that is recommended to be performed a few days after your period is over, as this gives you more time to heal before your period returns. If you can square it, so much the better.
Fun fact: after surgery and after the first sexual intercourse, you will find that the hymen tears naturally. So, your partner cannot tell if it is a hymen reconstruction. Let’s say the sensation is similar to the first sexual intercourse.
How can the hymen be damaged?
The reality is that the hymen can be damaged or broken for a variety of reasons, for example, due to childbirth or after sexual intercourse. It is a tissue that can be torn with the woman’s first sexual penetration.
In some women, the hymen can even break when using tampons, if you have an injury, or even from riding a horse or bicycle. Every woman is different, and these activities can affect women differently.
To reconstruct the hymen, hymenoplasty, which professionals must always carry out, aims to restore a torn or stretched hymen to its original state.
How is the surgery performed?
Hymenoplasty is performed through a small incision in the vagina. Different surgical techniques are used to repair or reconstruct the hymen, depending on the condition of the hymen, as each patient may be different.
The most common is the suture technique. There is also the flap technique, where a portion of nearby tissue is used to reconstruct the hymen, and it can be used in cases where the hymenal membrane is badly damaged.
The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia.
As for the recovery time, it varies from person to person. In any case, avoiding physical activity for a few days after surgery is essential, as well as avoiding sexual intercourse for at least 4 to 8 weeks (whichever your surgeon recommends, depending on your specific case).
Will there be a scar? The scar is usually virtually invisible. So it will not affect you from an aesthetic point of view.
How many times can it be done?
It can be performed as often as necessary for functional and health reasons. In any case, it is recommended that a period of time elapses between each surgical procedure should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Benefits of hymenoplasty for women
The benefits of hymenoplasty for women are palpable. Mainly, it is achieved:
Be more confident: one of the main reasons for having this procedure is that it can help you feel more confident and comfortable with how you look after surgery.
Pain relief: There is less talk about the pain that some women experience during sex because they have stiff or narrow hymen. So surgery can help you forget about this pain.
These are some of the cases that lead many women to decide to undergo this procedure.
However, there are other cases in which a woman might decide to undergo this procedure. In some cultures, women may want to do this because they are getting married soon and want to be virgins again; they have that pressure in their environment. But some do it to make a fresh start, due to an important psychological issue, even in cases such as rape.
WHAT ARE SEXUAL RELATIONS LIKE AFTER HYMENOPLASTY?
Many women ask this question about whether they bleed. The truth is that whether bleeding occurs as such depends on the person, the membrane, the quality of the skin or the sexual act itself. There is no single answer because it depends on the woman.
