Clitoral Hood Reduction

What is Clitoral Hood Reduction?

Clitoral Hood Reduction is a delicate cosmetic procedure that reshapes and reduces the excess folds of skin covering the clitoris. The goal is to enhance comfort, improve hygiene, and achieve a more balanced, refined appearance of the genital area. This procedure is often chosen by women who experience discomfort from excess skin during physical activity or intimacy, or who desire a smoother, more symmetrical look.

The Clitoral Hood Reduction Procedure

During the procedure, the surgeon carefully trims and reshapes the excess skin surrounding the clitoral hood while ensuring the clitoris itself remains completely protected. The incision lines are placed with precision to preserve sensation and maintain a natural contour. Dissolvable sutures are typically used for a smooth recovery. The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation and takes about 45 minutes to an hour. It can also be combined with labiaplasty for overall genital refinement.

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience mild swelling, sensitivity, and slight bruising for the first few days. Cool compresses and topical care help minimize discomfort. You can usually resume light activities within 2–3 days, but should avoid tight clothing, strenuous exercise, or sexual activity for at least 4–6 weeks. As healing progresses, swelling subsides, and the final results reveal a neater, more symmetrical, and comfortable appearance. Scars are minimal and fade significantly over time, leaving a natural aesthetic outcome.
