About Clitoral Hood Reduction
A plastic surgery for reducing the size and the area of the clitoral hood is called Clitoral Hood Reduction. The Clitoral Hood protects the sensitive tissues from too much stimulation. In case the Clitoral is large, there are chances of adhesions. These adhesions are formed when some bacteria, skin cells, and sebum build up the mood.
Other than the clitoral hood reduction, it is advised to wash the clitoris regularly. Dr. Mayuri Kothiwala explains the hygiene also in detail which is a very important fact with the genitals. The recovery time varies from person to person. Doctor also suggest to go for Hymenoplasty treatment in Jaipur where the torn edges of the hymen are identified, the margins freshened up and the remaining tissue is stitched together, leaving a small opening gives psychological relief and regain of self-confidence.
How it Works
Diagnostic & Pre-Op Details
During your private consultation, a comprehensive clinical evaluation determines labial symmetry, tissue thickness, and nerve sensitivity. Customized surgical markings are made before surgery to ensure natural symmetry.
The procedure takes place in an outpatient surgical center using local anesthesia with conscious sedation or general anesthesia. Using precision micro-surgical instruments, excess prepuce tissue is trimmed while protecting the underlying glans and delicate nerve fibers.
Risks / Benefits
Benefits include relief from clothing friction, improved sexual sensation, easier cleaning, and balanced vulvar aesthetics. As with any surgical procedure, risks include temporary swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, or minor asymmetry.
Recovery and Outlook
Initial recovery takes 3 to 5 days of rest, after which light daily activities can be resumed. The recovery time varies from person to person. Dissolvable sutures disappear naturally within 2 to 3 weeks, and complete cosmetic results unfold as swelling fully resolves over 4 to 6 weeks.
When To Call the Doctor
While recovery is typically smooth and manageable, you should contact our surgical clinic immediately if you experience heavy bleeding, severe escalating pain unmanaged by prescribed pain medication, signs of localized infection such as purulent discharge or fever exceeding 100.4°F (38°C), or sudden asymmetrical swelling in the surgical area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will clitoral hood reduction affect my clitoral sensitivity?
When performed by an experienced cosmetic gynecologist, the surgery removes excess skin while carefully preserving underlying nerve bundles. Some women may notice improved comfort and enhanced stimulation due to reduced excess tissue; however, results vary from person to person.
Is clitoral hood reduction often combined with labiaplasty?
Yes. Most patients undergo combined labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction to ensure a harmonious, smooth aesthetic transition between the labia minora and prepuce.
What type of anesthesia is used during the procedure?
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with oral or IV sedation, ensuring a pain-free and comfortable experience.
Will there be visible scarring after surgery?
Incisions are placed discreetly within the natural skin folds of the prepuce. Once healed, scars are practically invisible and blend seamlessly with surrounding tissue.
Are the surgical stitches permanent or dissolvable?
We use fine dissolvable sutures that melt away on their own within 2 to 3 weeks, eliminating the need for uncomfortable stitch removal.
How long do I need to take off from work?
Most patients resume desk work and light activities within 3 to 5 days, depending on comfort, healing, and job requirements.
When can I resume sexual intimacy after surgery?
Sexual intercourse and any direct stimulation must be avoided for at least 6 weeks to ensure complete tissue healing and prevent wound disruption.

Costs depend on whether the procedure is performed standalone or combined with labiaplasty, as well as the anesthesia type. Detailed quotes are provided during consultation.
