Hoodplasty

Surgical reduction of excess clitoral hood tissue

Excess clitoral hood tissue can be a source of aesthetic concern or, in some cases, reduce clitoral stimulation by impeding direct contact. Hoodplasty is a minor surgical procedure that removes this excess prepuce tissue, improving the appearance of the vulvar area and potentially enhancing sensitivity.

Often performed alongside labiaplasty for comprehensive vulval rejuvenation, hoodplasty is a quick procedure under local anaesthesia with minimal recovery time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hoodplasty commonly done alone?

It can be performed alone but is most commonly combined with labiaplasty as part of comprehensive vulval rejuvenation.

Will it affect sensation?

For women with significant excess tissue, removal can improve sensitivity; the procedure is performed conservatively to avoid any reduction in sensation.
