Hymenoplasty in Korea

What Is Hymenoplasty?

Hymenoplasty is a surgical procedure that restores the hymen, a thin membrane located at the vaginal opening. It is often chosen for cultural, personal, or religious reasons, as well as for women who desire to restore the appearance of an intact hymen.

The procedure involves carefully reconstructing the hymenal tissue to recreate the appearance of a natural, intact hymen.

  • Simple Repair Technique: Reattaches the torn edges of the hymen using fine sutures.
