01. Technique Of Hymenoplasty
Several techniques are there for hymenoplasty. The surgeon decides the best technique while keeping in mind a few things such as the patient’s physique and reason for undergoing this procedure.
Following are the techniques of hymenoplasty:-
A. Alloplant Technique
The surgeon uses this technique when no remnants of the torn hymen are left to stitch together. With the help of this technique, the surgeon inserts a biomaterial into the vagina and places it on the vaginal opening that acts as a hymen.
This procedure is performed under the influence of local anesthesia and takes around 2 hours to complete.
B. Basic Technique
During this procedure, the surgeon stitches the remnants of the torn hymen with dissolvable stitches.
This procedure is performed under the influence of general anesthesia so the patient doesn’t feel any pain or problem throughout the entire treatment procedure.
C. Hymen Restoration
During this procedure, the surgeon creates a completely new hymen using the tissues of the vaginal lips.
This technique is used to cure severe cases of the torn hymen. This is also done under the influence of local anesthesia.
The cost of all three techniques varies from one another. The type of technique is used during surgery determines the overall cost of hymenoplasty in Thiruvananthapuram.
To estimate the cost of your surgery, you may first discuss with your surgeon what type of technique is best suited for you.

Hymenoplasty surgery is performed by an experienced gynecologist. The fee of the gynecologist also influences the cost of hymenoplasty. Therefore, the kind of surgeon you prefer determines the overall cost of the surgery.
Usually, the fee of an experienced surgeon is higher than the fee of an inexperienced surgeon. If a surgeon has more than 5-6 years of experience, he/she can be considered the best surgeon to perform this procedure.

04. Diagnostic Tests
Usually, no tests are done before performing hymenoplasty. However, in certain cases, the surgeon may recommend a few tests to ensure that the patient is fit for hymenoplasty. The cost of these tests also adds to the overall cost of the procedure.
05. Type Of Anesthesia
The type of anesthesia is used during hymenoplasty also affects the cost of hymenoplasty. Usually, hymenoplasty is performed under the influence of general anesthesia.

06. Follow-Up Meetings
After hymenoplasty, the surgeon asks the patient for follow-up meetings to ensure that the patient is recovering perfectly and there is no risk of infection or other complications. The charges of follow-up meetings also add to the overall cost of hymenoplasty.
However, certain healthcare professionals offer free follow-up meetings for the first few days after hymenoplasty. You can talk to your service provider about the same and avail of the facility if available.
07. Availability Of Insurance
If insurance availability is there at the hospital you plan to undergo hymenoplasty, you may pay a certain amount of the overall cost of your surgery. However, most health insurance plans don’t cover hymenoplasty.
Most medical policies are designed in such a way that they don’t offer any coverage for cosmetic surgeries. The possible justification for the same is that the insurance providers don’t consider hymenoplasty surgery as pivotal in ensuring the proper functioning of the body.
