Clitoral Hood Reduction

 

Clitoral Hood Reduction is a procedure that removes the excess skin around the clitoris and reduces the length and projection of the clitoral hood.

The clitoris is a small body of spongy tissue between the labia minora and the clitoral hood that is highly sensitive.

The clitoral glans or external tip of the clitoris is protected by the prepuce, or clitoral hood.

The excess prepuce may bother some women causing them to be self conscious. If desired by the woman, Clitoral Hood Reduction may be done with Labiaplasty of the Labia Minora.
There is no risk for nerve damage or elimination of sensation. This is not mutilation.
