Plastic surgery has reached incredible heights, now you can restore and redraw almost everything in the human body. Plastic surgery is vital, for example, rhinoplasty with the inability to breathe due to deformation of the nose. But they can also be aimed at eliminating complexes, such as dissatisfaction with the shape or size of the breast. One of the varieties of plastic surgery is hymenoplasty. What kind of operation is this and why is it needed?
What is hymenoplasty?
Hymenoplasty is an operation to restore the integrity of the hymen. Hymen in Latin is “film”. The hymen is a mucosal film that separates the external and internal genital organs. But during intercourse, this film is torn, this moment is considered the beginning of a woman's sexual life.
It is impossible to completely recreate this film from the mucosa, but it is possible to make a similar film that will tear again during intercourse, and the man will feel that he is a “pioneer”.
Thus, outwardly and to the touch, the artificial hymen will become indistinguishable from the hymen of the virgin. The photo before and after hymenoplasty shows that this is a complete imitation of the hymen without scars. Only a very experienced gynecologist who can intentionally look for traces of an operation will be able to identify the catch.
The operation has been carried out not for the first decade, but specifically since the 60s of the XX century.
Why might it be needed
So why might this be needed? In most cases, this is necessary in order to hide the mistakes of youth and appear before a future husband as a virgin. Honestly or not, this is another question that every girl will answer for herself. But for adherents of certain religions, this is a matter of life and death. If, after the marriage of Muslims on a wedding night, it turns out that the girl is not innocent, then she and her whole family will face shame, and possibly even physical violence. Maybe for her, hymenoplasty is the only chance for a normal life.
And it will be difficult to conceal one’s nature. If the girl is really slutty, then rumor or her habits will betray it, and justice will prevail in any case. And suddenly this is just one mistake, or even an act of violence, and in my heart the girl is decent, but who will understand.
Other reasons for the lack of hymen:
- feature of the anatomical structure;
- equestrian activities;
- inaccurate examination by a gynecologist;
- female genital surgery;
- incorrect introduction of tampons.
So the question of dishonesty is not so straightforward. And there are times when a man is aware of the woman’s sex life before the wedding, but still wants to physically feel what it is like to deprive the bride of innocence. Restoring hymen in order to renew marital relations is in fashion.
Types of Hymenoplasty
Hymenoplasty surgery is of two types:
- Short term. It is done when the result is needed urgently. It is advisable if the alleged "loss of virginity" will be no later than 10 days after the operation. Later, the effect will be lost. Short-term imitation is recognized by any gynecologist during examination. If the date of the alleged sexual intercourse is known for sure and there will not be a gynecologist's check, then this is an excellent option. The advantage of short-term surgery is the price and the absence of the need to stay in the clinic for a long time.
- Long term. It also has a second name - three-layer hymenoplasty, which means that a hymen forms from the three layers of tissue in the woman’s vagina. During intercourse, a man will not be able to guess that the hymen is artificial. And the "loss of virginity" can occur even after a week, even after years. But preferably no more than 3 years, then there is no guarantee anymore. This is a complete imitation of the natural hymen. After a three-layer hymenoplasty, the photo shows that the lumen completely disappears even after many years of sexual activity. After healing, the mucosa grows together, and you can safely be examined by a gynecologist; he is unlikely to distinguish the hymen from the natural one.
There are two types of plastic surgery that are not a kind of hymenoplasty and have other purposes. Labioplasty is a surgical correction of the labia. Vaginoplasty is a plastic surgery on the vagina or perineum, done with damage during childbirth or with an injury.
Short-term hymenoplasty costs from 10 thousand rubles., Long-term will cost about 2 times more expensive. Depending on the city where the clinic is located and its prestige, the price may increase to 50–70 thousand rubles.
Contraindications
Contraindications to the operation are as follows:
- bleeding disorder,
- mental illness;
- HIV
- severe viral diseases;
- weakened body;
- oncology;
- pregnancy;
- benign formations in the female genital organs.
In the presence of these factors, no professional plastic surgeon will agree to conduct hymenoplasty. The presence of inflammatory processes of the genital organs or excretory system is not a contraindication, but a reason to postpone the operation until complete recovery.
Preparation for surgery
As part of the preparation, the doctor will perform a visual examination to assess the condition of the genitals and the amount of hymen remains. How much hymen remains is affected by both its initial amount and the intensity of sexual activity. And also whether the woman gave birth.
If the possibility of hymenoplasty is confirmed, then immediately before it will be necessary to pass a number of tests:
- general blood analysis;
- blood from a vein for HIV and hepatitis C;
- smear for cleanliness;
- blood coagulation test (hemostasiogram).
And you also need to make a cardiogram. Then consult with a therapist and gynecologist.
If the operation is required by a minor girl, then first you must obtain permission from the parents or guardians. If everything is in order, then a date is assigned. A week before this date, you need to exclude the intake of alcohol and salt, get enough sleep and not overload the body.
Operation progress
How the operation will take place depends on whether long-term hymenoplasty is done or short-term.
In the short-term, residual tissue flaps are sutured with self-absorbable threads. This is done under local anesthesia and lasts from 10 to 15 minutes. After that, you can immediately go home. If there are no complaints and discomfort, a second visit to the doctor is not needed, that is, the pleura will be ready within an hour after the start of the operation. There is no need to wait for healing, since tissue fusion is not provided.
Long-term hymenoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and involves the fusion of hymenal lobes. A hymen is created from the mucosa, if nothing is left of it, then it is created from the vestibule of the vagina. Due to the inaccessibility of the operated area, you can ask the gynecologist to take a photo before and after the hymenoplasty. After a long-term patient will stay in the clinic for at least a day.
Rehabilitation period
Short-term rehabilitation period is absent. And in the long-term, it passes very quickly: until the joints are fused, which occurs within a few days. A few days before and after hymenoplasty, the following recommendations must be observed:
- Do not swim in pools, open reservoirs;
- take only a shower, avoid a bath;
- wash with detergent.
- do not make sudden movements;
- refuse to play sports;
- do not have sex.
There may be bleeding and pain, but normally this should stop after a week. If it does not stop, you should consult a doctor.
Possible complications
With the surgeon's quality work and safety measures, there should be no complications. If the technique is not followed, the complications can be the following:
- The entrance can be so overgrown that the penis simply can’t break the new hymen.
- With "defloration" a large vessel will be affected, and the bleeding will be too strong, you will have to call an ambulance.
- The new "hymen" will be completely without holes. Holes are necessary for the passage of menstrual blood. If the blood does not have access to the outside, then this is fraught with serious complications.
If sterility is not observed, inflammatory processes are possible, which will manifest itself with the following symptoms:
- discharge with an unpleasant odor;
- fever at the site of surgery or the body as a whole;
- throbbing pain;
- swelling of the vagina and labia.
It should be borne in mind that with a three-layer stitching, pain during sexual intercourse will be stronger than with natural defloration. The amount of blood will also be greater, unlike the first time. This is the norm and is not considered a complication.
The final photo of hymenoplasty, which was made according to all the rules by a good specialist, shows that there should be no scars. This is the meaning of plastic surgery: to make it as invisible as possible for a partner and another gynecologist.
Is it possible to do hymenoplasty repeatedly
Yes, it is possible, but each time the operation will be more and more difficult, since the hymenal petals will remain less and less. This can be done until they become so small that it will be impossible to sew them together. And the pain during each subsequent loss of “innocence” will be stronger and stronger.
