Clitoral Hood Reduction Surgery in India

What is Clitoral Hood Reduction?

When it comes to intimate aesthetics, even small anatomical imbalances can affect how a woman feels—physically, emotionally, and sexually.

Though often overlooked, an enlarged or drooping clitoral hood can cause issues with sensation, hygiene, and the overall harmony of the genital area. Clitoral hood reduction is a precise and subtle procedure that can enhance both function and appearance while maintaining full sensitivity.

Clitoral hood reduction is a minor surgical procedure that removes excess skin covering the clitoris. The clitoral hood is a natural fold of skin that protects the clitoris—much like the foreskin does for the penis. While its purpose is protection, too much coverage can diminish sexual sensitivity, lead to irritation or hygiene challenges, and affect the visual aesthetics of the vulva.

The procedure is often performed alongside labiaplasty or vaginoplasty, though it can also be done on its own. Importantly, the clitoris itself is never touched—only the redundant skin around it is carefully trimmed.

BENEFITS OF CLITORAL HOOD REDUCTION

This delicate procedure can offer several improvements:

Enhanced clitoral responsiveness and sexual satisfaction
Improved hygiene and ease of cleaning
A more balanced and youthful vulvar appearance
Reduced irritation or discomfort during physical activity or intimacy
A boost in self-confidence and body image

For many women, the results are subtle yet empowering—often described as a small change with a big impact.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR CLITORAL HOOD REDUCTION?

You may benefit from clitoral hood reduction if the clitoral hood fully or excessively covers the clitoris, which can lead to reduced sexual sensitivity or arousal. Some individuals also report discomfort or irritation during physical activities or intercourse, along with feelings of self-consciousness about the appearance of the area. This procedure is especially suited for those who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are looking to enhance both physical comfort and personal confidence.

Clitoral hood reduction can also be a valuable addition if you are already considering labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation, helping to achieve a more comprehensive and harmonious result. Dr. Mahadik will guide you through a personalized assessment to understand your anatomy and goals, ensuring that any recommended approach is tailored to your specific needs. With careful planning and expert care, this procedure can provide both functional and aesthetic benefits that align with your overall vision.

CLITORAL HOOD REDUCTION PROCEDURE

Clitoral hood reduction is a straightforward day procedure most often performed under local anaesthesia. The goal is to improve comfort and sensitivity while maintaining safety and a natural appearance. Two small, symmetrical incisions are made on either side of the clitoral hood, allowing the surgeon to remove just the right amount of excess skin.

The clitoris itself remains completely untouched during the procedure, preserving its sensitivity and ensuring no risk of overstimulation. By uncovering the clitoris slightly, the procedure can enhance sexual sensation while minimizing any physical discomfort. Once the desired contour is achieved, the incisions are carefully closed using fine, dissolvable sutures that are placed discreetly within the natural skin folds.

Clitoral hood reduction can be performed on its own or paired with labiaplasty to achieve a more complete and balanced aesthetic enhancement of the external genitalia. This combination is often chosen by patients seeking a comprehensive approach to intimate rejuvenation, tailored to their individual anatomy and goals.

RECOVERY PROCESS

Clitoral hood reduction is generally safe, but as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks:

• Mild swelling or bruising
• Temporary tenderness or sensitivity changes
• Asymmetry (rare, and correctable if needed)
• Scar tissue (minimal and usually hidden in natural creases)

The clitoral hood reduction procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes and allows most patients to go home the same day. For non-strenuous roles, individuals can return to work within 3–5 days, while sexual activity should be avoided for at least 4–6 weeks. Light walking is permissible, but more vigorous exercise should be avoided for 2–3 weeks. Final results will become visible in 2–3 months as swelling fully subsides.

Dr. Mahadik provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure safe, discreet healing and optimal aesthetic results.

CLITORAL HOOD REDUCTION RESULTS

Though a subtle procedure, the outcome can significantly enhance quality of life—both physically and emotionally.

Women who undergo clitoral hood reduction often report improved sexual sensation and responsiveness, as well as a more refined and symmetrical appearance of the vulva. Many also experience increased comfort during daily activities, alongside a renewed sense of confidence and body positivity. This combination of physical and emotional benefits helps enhance overall well-being and satisfaction.
