Clitoral Hood Reduction Surgery
Refine Intimate Comfort and Confidence
Clitoral Hood Reduction, also known as clitoral hoodoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces excess tissue surrounding the clitoris to create a more balanced appearance and improve comfort. The procedure is designed to preserve the natural anatomy while enhancing the overall aesthetics of the intimate area.
At French Aesthetic Medical & Surgical Clinic, Dr. Albane Bienaime performs intimate aesthetic procedures with exceptional precision, discretion, and personalised care to achieve natural-looking results that respect each patient's anatomy and individual goals.
What Is Clitoral Hood Reduction?
The clitoral hood is the fold of skin that naturally covers and protects the clitoris. In some women, excess tissue may impact pleasure feeling during intimacy.
Clitoral hood reduction carefully removes excess skin while preserving the underlying nerves and blood supply. The procedure is often performed alongside labiaplasty to create a balanced and harmonious result.
What Can Clitoral Hood Reduction Treat?
The procedure can improve:
- Excess clitoral hood tissue
- Bulky appearance of the clitoral hood
- Mild asymmetry
- Discomfort during exercise
- Irritation caused by fitted clothing
- Cosmetic concerns regarding the intimate area

The Procedure
The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia as an outpatient surgery.
Excess skin is carefully removed while preserving the natural protective function of the clitoral hood and avoiding injury to the underlying sensitive structures. Every procedure is individually planned to ensure both safety and aesthetically pleasing results.
The surgery usually takes between 45 and 90 minutes.
Recovery and Results
Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are expected during the first few days after surgery.
Most patients return to light daily activities within one week. Exercise, cycling, swimming, and sexual activity should be avoided for approximately four to six weeks or as advised by your surgeon.
As healing progresses, the treated area appears more refined and proportionate, with final results continuing to improve over the following months.
