What Is a Clitoral Hoodectomy?
Clitoral hoodectomy is a refined procedure to remove or reshape excess prepuce (clitoral hood) tissue. The aim is to:
- Enhance sensitivity by exposing more of the clitoris
- Improve hygiene & comfort during exercise or intercourse
- Balance aesthetics for a more symmetrical appearance
It may be performed as a standalone treatment or alongside labiaplasty, depending on your goals.
Why Consider Clitoral Hood Reduction?
Common reasons include:
- Discomfort or irritation from excess tissue with movement or clothing
- Reduced responsiveness due to excessive hood coverage
- Desire for a more youthful, symmetrical appearance
- Greater confidence and intimacy
Every consultation is conducted with discretion, care, and complete confidentiality.
