Clitoral Hood Reduction

A Clitoral Hood Reduction is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of the clitoral hood, the fold of skin that covers the clitoris. It is performed to enhance comfort, and aesthetics, or to address functional concerns.

Individuals may consider this procedure if they have an excessively large clitoral hood, which can lead to discomfort, reduced sensitivity, or difficulty during sexual activity. It is also chosen for aesthetic reasons to achieve a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.

While it may not be as common as other cosmetic surgeries, Clitoral Hood Reduction is gaining popularity as more individuals become aware of its benefits. It is a specialized procedure and should be performed by a skilled surgeon.

Clitoral Hood Reduction typically involves making precise incisions to remove excess tissue from the clitoral hood. The surgeon then reshapes and sutures the area to achieve the desired results. The procedure is usually done under local or general anesthesia.

Yes, the results of Clitoral Hood Reduction are generally permanent. However, the aging process can still affect the appearance of the clitoral hood over time. Remember, individual experiences and outcomes may vary, so its crucial to discuss your specific concerns and goals with a qualified medical professional before deciding on Clitoral Hood Reduction.

Clitoral hood reduction removes excess skin from the folds around the clitoris. This creates a more aesthetically pleasing look for the female genitalia, and can relieve symptoms of itching and burning that result from excess tissue coverage.

Recovery time varies, but patients can typically expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for a few days to a week. Sexual activity and strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks post-surgery.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, scarring, and changes in sensation. Its crucial to choose a qualified surgeon and follow post-operative care instructions to minimize these risks.

Typically, Clitoral Hood Reduction is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. Patients should inquire about the costs and payment options with their chosen healthcare provider.
