Hymen Restoration
in Newport Beach
The hymen is the thin tissue membrane that surrounds the opening of the vagina. Many cultures consider the hymen to be a symbol of virginity because it often tears when a woman has sex for the first time. While sexual intercourse can break the hymen, other factors such as tampons, exercise, or riding a bike can also cause the hymen to tear. It is also important to note that not all women have bleeding or a torn hymen during their first experience with intercourse.
Model
The hymen can be restored with a surgical procedure known as hymen restoration surgery, or hymenoplasty.
Am I a Candidate for Hymen Restoration Surgery?
Candidates for hymen restoration are women who have a torn hymen and wish to have it restored for cultural, religious, psychological, or personal reasons. Hymen restoration candidates must:
- Be in generally good health
- Have realistic expectations of their results

What Is the Recovery From Hymen Restoration Surgery Like?
Generally, recovery after hymen restoration is fairly easy. You may experience pain and discomfort in the first few days. Pain medication can be taken as needed to combat this. Additionally, you may notice light bleeding; this is normal and should only last a few days. Many women can return to work and other regular activities in one to three days. However, you should avoid strenuous activity for at least a week.
It will also be important to follow any post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Yu to ensure proper healing.
What Results Can I Expect After Hymen Restoration?
After hymen restoration surgery, you should expect an intact hymen that looks similar to the one that tore. The thin tissue taken from the vaginal wall and placed where the hymen was will restore the appearance and functionality of your initial hymen.
