Hymenoplasty Surgery
For many women, the hymen carries more than just physical significance. It is intertwined with identity, tradition, and personal healing. Whether you’re seeking restoration due to cultural expectations, past trauma, or simply the desire for a fresh start, the weight of this decision is deeply felt. You may worry about judgment, privacy, or whether your reasons are valid.
At Allure Esthetic, we want you to know: your feelings matter and your reasons are respected. Our team, led by Dr. Javad Sajan, offers a discreet, safe environment where you can explore whether hymen repair is proper for you and receive honest answers about the procedure.
What Is Hymenoplasty?
Hymenoplasty (also called hymen repair or hymen restoration) is a short surgical procedure that reconstructs torn hymenal tissue. The goal is to recreate an intact hymen that closely resembles the original anatomy and appearance. Although the medical indications are limited, hymenoplasty can provide significant psychological relief and restore personal confidence for patients whose hymen was disrupted through injury, assault, tampon use, or consensual intercourse.
Why Women Choose Hymenoplasty
Women opt for hymenoplasty for various reasons, each valid and deserving of understanding. Our goal is to support your choice with professionalism and empathy.
- Cultural or religious expectations may require an intact hymen before marriage, and hymenoplasty can help meet those traditions.
- Survivors of sexual assault sometimes pursue hymen repair as a step in reclaiming autonomy and bodily integrity.
- Some patients choose hymenoplasty to mark a new life chapter or to align their physical state with personal values or beliefs.
- Others simply wish to restore anatomy altered by accidental tearing, tampon use, or vigorous exercise.
Are You a Good Candidate for Hymenoplasty?
Deciding on hymenoplasty is a private choice that should align with both your physical health and personal motivations. Dr. Sajan creates a supportive space where you can honestly discuss expectations, emotional goals, and the short recovery period that follows surgery. Before moving forward, it is helpful to consider whether you meet the typical eligibility guidelines below.
- You are at least 18years old and able to provide informed consent for an elective procedure.
- You are in generally good health and free of any active genital infections or untreated medical conditions.
- You hold realistic expectations regarding surgical results, possible scarring, and the overall healing timeline.
- You can commit to four to six weeks of pelvic rest after surgery, which includes abstaining from intercourse, tampon use, and strenuous exercise.
Your Private Consultation With Dr. Sajan
Your journey begins with a confidential appointment in our Seattle office (virtual consultations are also available). Dr. Sajan will:
- Review your medical history, current medications, and any previous gynecologic procedures.
- Perform a gentle examination only if you are comfortable and it is medically necessary.
- Explain the surgical method, anesthesia plan, and typical recovery timeline in clear, direct language.
- Answer every question about scarring, sensation, postoperative care, and cost.
How Hymenoplasty Is Performed
After a brief pre-operative check-in, you receive local anesthesia with optional light sedation to ensure comfort. Dr. Sajan then identifies any remaining hymenal tissue and delicately re-approximates it using fine, dissolvable sutures, while leaving a small central opening for natural drainage. The minimally invasive surgery takes about 30–45 minutes. Once an antibiotic ointment and light dressing are applied, you can go home the same day with a responsible companion.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients notice only mild soreness and light spotting for two to five days, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, and many return to desk work within 48 hours. For the first six weeks, you’ll need to avoid intercourse, tampon use, and strenuous exercise, keep the area clean using the gentle hygiene steps our nursing team provides, and come in around week two for a quick check-up (and removal of any external sutures, if used). If you experience increased pain, heavy bleeding, or a fever at any point, contact our office right away so we can address it promptly.
Benefits You Can Expect
It's important to understand that hymenoplasty doesn't affect fertility or long-term sexual function. Instead, its profound impact lies in emotional healing and personal empowerment. Here are the meaningful benefits you can experience:
- Restored Confidence: Regain peace of mind when cultural, religious, or personal values place importance on hymenal integrity.
- Emotional Healing: Find closure and reclaim a sense of self after traumatic experiences, taking back control of your body and story.
- Quick Recovery: Resume most daily activities within just two days, with minimal disruption to your routine.
- Discreet Results: Enjoy natural-looking restoration, as dissolvable sutures and internal healing leave virtually no visible traces.

FAQs
Can a gynecologist perform hymenoplasty?
Yes. A certified gynecologist with additional cosmetic-surgery training can offer hymenoplasty, but many patients prefer physicians who regularly perform intimate-area procedures.
Does insurance cover hymenoplasty?
Coverage is uncommon because the operation is elective and not medically required. Most patients pay out-of-pocket, use medical credit cards, or arrange in-house financing.
Will a partner know I had hymenoplasty?
After complete healing, typically six weeks, the repaired tissue looks and feels normal. Without medical expertise, a partner is very unlikely to detect prior surgery.
Can you tell if someone’s hymen is intact?
No. Hymenal appearance varies widely, even among those who have never had intercourse, so neither physicians nor laypersons can reliably judge intactness by sight alone.
