Virginity restoration surgery, also referred to as hymenoplasty or “revirgination,” is a surgical intervention aimed at reconstructing or repairing the hymen—a delicate membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening. Commonly linked with notions of virginity, the hymen may experience tearing or stretching due to activities like physical exertion, tampon usage, or sexual intercourse. The objective of hymenoplasty, performed for cultural, personal, or religious motives, is to reinstate the hymen’s physical appearance to its pre-existing state before any tears occurred.

The procedure involves intricate suturing of the remaining hymenal tissue or the formation of a new hymen using tissue from the vaginal lining. The primary emphasis is on minimizing scarring and maintaining the natural texture and appearance of the vaginal tissue. Beyond its physical aspects, hymenoplasty addresses the emotional and psychological well-being of the patient, offering a sense of renewal and confidence.
