It is surgery to reduce selected skin folds covering the external clitoris. The operation concerns the hood rather than removal of the clitoris itself.

It covers and protects sensitive clitoral tissue. Preserving adequate protection is an important consideration when discussing reduction.

No. Hood size, shape, and coverage vary naturally. Appearance alone does not establish a need for surgery.

No. Labiaplasty reshapes the labia, while hood reduction treats the skin surrounding the clitoris. The procedures involve different tissues and should be discussed separately.

Yes. It may be performed independently when appropriate. A standalone operation still requires full assessment and informed consent.

No. Combining procedures should follow individual assessment.

Local anaesthesia, sometimes with sedation, is commonly used.

The procedure often takes less than one hour when performed alone. Combined surgery may take longer.

It is usually an outpatient procedure.

Some patients return to light work within several days to approximately one week.

Strenuous exercise is usually restricted for several weeks.

The removed tissue does not grow back in the same form, so reduction is generally long-lasting.
