She renews her V-card.
A Brazilian influencer plans to become a “virgin again” by dropping more than $19,000 on a vaginal rejuvenation procedure — but a doctor has a warning about potential risks.
“The process has a special meaning for me,” Ravena Hanniely, 23, told Jam Press, describing her decision to cosmetically turn back time in her sex life.
The bomb plans to undergo hymenoplastyalso known as hymen repair, in which the surgeon sews the torn edges of the female hymen together with dissolvable sutures. That way, the patient will bleed the next time she is draped, as if, in the immortal words of Madonna, she is being “touched for the first time.”
For Hanniely, who shares often delightful snaps for her over 266,000 followers on Instagramthe surgery “symbolizes a new beginning in my personal and professional life,” he said.
“I want to be a virgin again,” said the model. “This is for my self-esteem and for personal reasons that have always been important to me.”
Hanniely, who is single, says she has yet to decide who will bring her post-op back.
He added that the surgical time machine has psychological benefits in addition to the aesthetic, arguing: “It’s about how a woman feels and what she wants for herself.”
It’s unclear when Hanniely plans to renovate. However, she acknowledges that the process “requires special care” and says she is “fully committed to making sure everything goes well.”
“I will follow medical advice, such as avoiding physical exercise, abstaining from intimacy for the recommended period and choosing comfortable clothing,” said the would-be virgin.
However, Dr. Hana Salusollia, CEO of London-based Medisonal Clinic – a virtual practice that offers access to specialist doctors – claimed that hymenoplasty is not the sexual fountain of youth it is made out to be.
He said that while the procedure is a “recognized cosmetic surgery”, it is more “symbolic” and does not actually restore one’s virginity.
Salusollia added that this reversal of virginity carries certain risks, such as infection and scarring. The patient may also experience minor bleeding during and after the procedure, irregular healing and dissatisfaction with the results.
“These risks can be reduced if performed according to ethical standards by top surgeons,” the doctor said.
The worries are more than just physical.
“It also considers huge ethical questions and patients should be encouraged to be empowered to make their own ethical choice rather than feeling coerced by societal pressures,” Salusollia argued. “Informed consent is critical as these decisions intersect with cultural and psychological dimensions.”
Hanili was quick to kick the naysayers to the curb.
“Unfortunately, not everyone can understand or support such intimate choices,” he said. “We need to stop judging and start respecting these decisions.”
