Clitoral Hood Reduction

Clitoral Hood Reduction, also known as hoodectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at reducing excess tissue around the clitoral hood. This can enhance the aesthetic appearance of the vulva and may improve sexual satisfaction by increasing clitoral exposure. The procedure is often performed alongside labiaplasty for comprehensive genital rejuvenation.

What to Expect

Before the Procedure: A thorough consultation will be conducted to assess your medical history, discuss your concerns, and determine the best surgical approach. Preoperative instructions may include avoiding certain medications and arranging for post-surgery support.

During the Procedure: The surgery typically lasts 30–60 minutes and can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon will make precise incisions to remove excess tissue from the clitoral hood, ensuring symmetry and preserving nerve function.

After the Procedure: Patients may experience swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses. Recovery time varies, but most individuals can resume normal activities within 1–2 weeks, following postoperative care guidelines.
