What is Clitoral Hood Reduction?

Clitoral Hood Reduction is a delicate cosmetic gynecology procedure that aims to reshape or reduce the excess skin (clitoral hood) surrounding the clitoris. The goal is to improve comfort, enhance appearance, and help some women experience increased sensitivity during intimate moments.

Many women choose this procedure for both aesthetic and functional reasons — to achieve a balanced, symmetrical look, reduce irritation from tight clothing, and enhance self-confidence and personal comfort.

How is the Procedure Performed?

The Clitoral Hood Reduction is a minor outpatient procedure that is performed under local anesthesia for maximum comfort. It involves the precise removal of a small portion of excess skin folds covering the clitoris, ensuring that the area remains naturally contoured and sensitive.

• The area is carefully numbed with local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
• The surgeon delicately trims excess skin from the clitoral hood using precise surgical techniques.
• The remaining tissue is reshaped to maintain natural protection and symmetry.
• The procedure typically takes around 45–60 minutes, and patients can usually return home the same day.

Who Can Consider Clitoral Hood Reduction?

This procedure is suitable for women who experience physical discomfort or wish to improve the appearance of the genital area. You may consider clitoral hood reduction if you:

• Have excess or uneven skin around the clitoral hood
• Experience irritation, chafing, or discomfort during physical activity or intimacy
• Wish to enhance genital aesthetics and personal confidence
• Desire improved balance following labiaplasty or other intimate rejuvenation procedures

Benefits of Clitoral Hood Reduction

Aftercare and Recovery

Recovery from Clitoral Hood Reduction is usually smooth and well-tolerated. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur initially, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days. For best results:

• Keep the area clean and follow your doctor’s hygiene instructions.
• Avoid strenuous exercise or sexual activity for 3–4 weeks, as advised.
