Clitoral Hood Reduction
A Subtle Enhancement for Comfort, Symmetry, and Aesthetics
Clitoral hood reduction is a delicate surgical procedure that involves removing excess folds of skin surrounding the clitoris (the prepuce) to improve appearance, symmetry, or sensation. For some women, a prominent or asymmetrical clitoral hood can cause discomfort, hygiene issues, or aesthetic concerns — and reducing the extra tissue can help enhance confidence and physical ease. Dr. Affie Tourani performs clitoral hood reduction with precision and care, always prioritising sensitivity, safety, and a natural outcome.
Why Women Consider Clitoral Hood Reduction
Prominent or excessive skin that affects appearance or balance
Desire for more symmetry with labiaplasty or vulval contouring
Difficulty with hygiene or irritation from trapped moisture
Reduced sensation during intimacy due to excess coverage
Aesthetic preferences for a more refined vulval appearance
Often performed alongside labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction can complement overall genital rejuvenation goals.
What Clitoral Hood Reduction Involves
Usually performed under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic
A small, controlled amount of excess skin is carefully removed
Great care is taken to preserve clitoral sensation
Fine, dissolvable sutures are used for minimal scarring
Often done in combination with other cosmetic gynaecological procedures
Dr. Tourani’s surgical technique ensures that the outcome is subtle and refined — never overdone.
