Excess folds of the clitoral hood or foreskin can be reduced by reducing the clitoral hood. The procedure is most commonly performed in conjunction with labiaplasty.
The extra folds of the clitoris can create a prominence that is exaggerated when the labia minora are reduced, and reducing the hood of the clitoris can improve the balance in the appearance of the female genitalia.
Clitoral reduction is usually performed together with labiaplasty under local anesthesia with oral sedation or under general anesthesia.
Excess tissue is marked according to the anatomy of the specific patient. There is a wide variation in the shape and extent of the folds. In some patients the excision is performed as a "Y" extension of the labiaplasty. Closure is usually done with resorbable sutures.
Recovery is mainly determined by concomitant labiaplasty.
Clitoral reduction is usually performed in conjunction with labiaplasty, which has a high satisfaction rate in over 90 percent of patients.
