A clitoral hood reduction is a surgical technique for reducing the size and the area of the clitoral hood to expose the clitoris. This procedure is performed for women who may have difficulty reaching orgasm due to the extra skin in this area.
This procedure is usually performed under anesthesia and at same-day out-patient facility. Labiaplasty, a surgical procedure to beautify the outer appearance of the vagina by reducing the size and/or reshape the labia minora, may be combined with clitoral hood reduction for total rejuvenation.
