Clitoral Hood Correction
Clitoral Hood Correction, also known as clitoral hood reduction, is a delicate cosmetic and functional procedure designed to reduce excess skin that covers the clitoris. Some women are born with a naturally thick or enlarged clitoral hood, while others develop excess tissue due to hormonal changes, childbirth, or aging. Although completely normal, excessive hooding can cause difficulty with hygiene, discomfort during intimacy, decreased sexual sensation, or cosmetic concerns. Clitoral hood correction helps improve both comfort and aesthetics while preserving sensitivity.
At our centre, Dr. B. R. N. Padmini performs this procedure with exceptional precision and care. The surgery involves gently trimming and reshaping the excess skin that surrounds the clitoris, ensuring it remains protected yet more exposed for improved responsiveness. The procedure is customized for each patient to maintain natural contours and avoid over-reduction.
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference. It typically takes 30–45 minutes, and patients can go home the same day. All incisions are fine and strategically placed, resulting in minimal visible scarring.
Recovery is smooth and relatively quick. Mild swelling or discomfort is expected during the first few days, but most patients resume daily activities within 2–3 days. Complete healing generally occurs within 4–6 weeks. The enhanced contour often leads to improved confidence, hygiene, and sexual comfort.
Clitoral hood correction can be performed alone or combined with procedures such as labiaplasty for overall aesthetic enhancement. With Dr. B. R. N. Padmini’s expertise in intimate cosmetic surgery, patients receive confidential care, natural-looking results, and a comfortable surgical experience.
