What Is Clitoral Hood Reduction?

Clitoral hood reduction, also known as hoodectomy, is a minor surgical procedure that reduces excess folds of skin over the clitoris. The goal is not to alter the clitoris itself, but to carefully remove surplus tissue that may obscure it, improving access and potentially enhancing sensitivity.

This procedure is frequently performed in conjunction with labiaplasty, but can also be done as a standalone surgery. The result is a more symmetrical, refined appearance of the vulva and an increase in physical comfort during sexual activity, exercise, or wearing tight clothing.

Benefits of Clitoral Hood Reduction

Increased clitoral stimulation and sensitivity
Improved balance and symmetry of the vulvar area
Reduction in discomfort during intercourse or physical activity
Enhanced confidence and body image
Aesthetic refinement in combination with other procedures, such as labiaplasty or Mommy Makeover

Am I a Good Candidate for Clitoral Hood Reduction?

You may be a candidate if you experience physical or emotional discomfort due to excess skin or tissue over the clitoris, or if you are seeking a more balanced appearance in your intimate anatomy. Ideal candidates:

Are in good overall health
Do not smoke, or are willing to stop before and after surgery
Have realistic expectations
Are fully developed and not currently pregnant

Our team will review your concerns, anatomy, and goals during a personalized consultation to determine if clitoral hood reduction is appropriate for you.

Your Consultation

Your private consultation is the foundation of your treatment. We will discuss your goals, medical history, and lifestyle factors to ensure the procedure is right for you. You’ll receive detailed education about the surgery, recovery timeline, and how it fits into your broader wellness and aesthetic goals.

How Much Does It Cost?

Pricing varies based on the complexity of the procedure and whether it's combined with other treatments. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed cost estimate, including all surgeon, anesthesia, and facility fees. Financing options may be available.

What to Expect During a Clitoral Hood Reduction Procedure

Clitoral hood reduction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your preferences and needs. The surgeon will remove excess skin using precise incisions, thereby preserving sensitivity and maintaining the natural contour. The procedure usually takes less than an hour, and patients return home the same day.

Recovery Timeline and Results

Most patients experience minimal downtime and return to light activities within a few days. Some swelling, sensitivity, or minor discomfort is normal and will subside within 1–2 weeks. You should avoid sexual activity, strenuous exercise, and tight clothing for several weeks as directed.

Results are long-lasting, with a refined appearance and, for many women, increased sensitivity and improved intimate confidence.

Combined or Complementary Procedures

Clitoral hood reduction is often performed alongside other intimate or aesthetic procedures:

Labiaplasty: Refines the inner or outer labia for improved symmetry and comfort.
Mommy Makeover: Combines breast, body, and vaginal rejuvenation procedures.
Vaginal Rejuvenation: Non-surgical options like FormaV can enhance muscle tone and sensation.

Clitoral Hood Reduction FAQs

Can clitoral hood reduction affect sexual function?

When performed by a qualified surgeon, the procedure is designed to preserve or enhance sensation, not reduce it.

Will there be visible scarring?

Scars are minimal and discreetly hidden within the natural creases of the vulvar tissue. Most patients find that any scarring fades significantly over time and becomes nearly imperceptible.

Can this surgery be performed after childbirth?

Yes. Many women opt for clitoral hood reduction after having children, particularly if childbirth has changed the appearance or comfort of the area. It is often included as part of a Mommy Makeover.

Is general anesthesia required?

Not always. Many cases are completed under local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the patient’s preference.

How soon can I return to work?

Most women feel comfortable returning to non-strenuous work within 2 to 5 days. Your exact timeline may vary depending on your healing and the physical demands of your job.

Will I need someone to drive me home?

Yes. Regardless of the type of anesthesia used, you will need a responsible adult to take you home and stay with you for the first several hours post-procedure.

Can I combine this procedure with hormone therapy?

Yes. If you’re undergoing hormone therapy or considering it, our providers can coordinate your treatment plan to align with your wellness goals. This is part of our holistic care philosophy.

What if I change my mind after the consultation?

There is no obligation to proceed after your consultation. Our team supports informed, empowered decision-making.

Does insurance cover clitoral hood reduction?

Because this procedure is considered elective and cosmetic, it is usually not covered by insurance. We’re happy to discuss payment and financing options during your consultation.

What should I avoid before the procedure?

Avoid smoking, alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and unapproved supplements as directed during your pre-op instructions.
