I thought I'd heard it all, but there's always something new:


Like a virgin? Thanks to 'revirgination'

Vaginal reconstruction sees new-found popularity among women in the US

Wednesday • January 11, 2006

WASHINGTON — Forget Botox, liposuction or breast enlargement. The newest trend in plastic surgery for women in the United States is vaginal reconstruction, including hymenoplasty, which offers patients new virginity.

The procedure has become so popular that it has topped the other more conventional surgeries such as face-lifts and breast enlargement.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons says that vaginal surgery is one of the fastest growing trends in plastic surgery. In fact, as many as 30,000 women are said to opt for vaginal reconstruction yearly.

The procedure, also known as "revirgination", is being hawked in magazines, the Internet or on radio stations as a way for women to improve their sex life or enjoy a second honeymoon.

Ms Jeanette Yarborough, a medical assistant from San Antonio, Texas, said she decided to undergo hymenoplasty, which involves reattaching the hymen, as a special gift for her husband.

"I wasn't a virgin when we got married and I thought: What better gift to give my husband than revirgination?" the 40-year-old mother of four told AFP. "It was a real sentimental gift, it was something I could recreate for him and he was thrilled. He was like, 'Yeah, it was worth every penny'," she said.

Though long popular among women in the Middle East and Latin America, where being chaste is important on one's wedding night, hymenoplasty is experiencing new-found popularity among women in the US.

One clinic boasts on its Internet site that its practitioners "can repair the hymen as if nothing occurred". Many who undergo the procedure, which costs between US$1,800 ($2,900) and US$5,000, also ask that their vaginas be tightened, doctors say.

"Nothing says 'Love' like a new hymen."

hahahahahahahah!!! If I were spending money on plastic surgery, I could think of better things to get than a new hymen.

I agree with Dolly Parton when she said "If I see something is saggin', waggin', baggin, or draggin', I'm gonna fix it."

Paying money like that to fix a farce is unreal IMHO.

Obviosly it is to "look" perrty for your next porno shoot. :redface2:

This is why I don't compare myself to dirty mags and such pictures, all that airbrushing and anal bleaching would cost me a fortune!!

Lets all post the puke smiley.........oh better yet, where is that puke "sound" I really miss on chat?

Now that "hymenoplasty" sounds like a complete waste of money, but that "tightening" procedure might be worth looking into.

I wonder if Blue Cross covers that?

Dont need no 'tightening', I have been told that just a dab of talc will 'tighten' any orifice.

Dont need no tightening around here though.

I know of 2 women who had vaginal repair along with corrective bladder repair surgery after birthing a couple of large babies. I don't think that we should be commenting on that part of these conversations - - that's between the couples themselves...don't you think?
