Clitoral Hood Reduction

Refining excess clitoral hood tissue, often alongside labiaplasty, with sensation carefully preserved.

What it is

Clitoral hood reduction refines excess skin of the clitoral hood (prepuce). It is often performed together with labiaplasty so that the result is balanced and harmonious, since reducing the labia alone can leave the hood looking relatively prominent.

It is a delicate procedure carried out with discretion and with great care to preserve sensation. The clitoris itself is not altered, only the excess covering skin.

What it can improve

  • Excess or prominent clitoral hood tissue
  • Balance with the labia, especially alongside labiaplasty
  • Comfort and appearance

It does not alter the clitoris itself, does not change internal anatomy, and is generally performed for refinement rather than to change sensation.

Quick facts

  • Procedure time: About 1 hour, often with labiaplasty
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation, or general
  • Clinic stay: Same-day discharge
  • Recovery: A few days off work, avoid intercourse for about 4--6 weeks
  • Exercise: Strenuous activity from about 4--6 weeks
  • Final result: Settles over 6--12 weeks

Before the procedure

You will receive individualized, discreet preparation guidance. Whether it is performed alone or with labiaplasty is discussed in a private consultation.

During the procedure

Excess clitoral hood skin is carefully refined to balance the area, with meticulous attention to preserving sensation. The clitoris itself is not altered.

After the procedure

Swelling and tenderness are normal in the first weeks. Gentle hygiene, loose clothing, and avoiding intercourse and strenuous activity for several weeks support healing.

Results: what it can and cannot achieve

A more balanced, refined appearance is achievable, especially when combined with labiaplasty. Some swelling can persist for weeks, and the final result settles over a couple of months.

Possible risks and complications

All surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:

  • Swelling, bruising, and discomfort
  • Asymmetry
  • Changes in sensation
  • Delayed wound healing
  • Scarring
  • Rarely, the need for revision

Careful technique aims to preserve sensation, and good hygiene during healing reduces complications.

The best surgeon

I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with Matteo Amoroso, and I can honestly say I couldn't have wished for a better surgeon. From the moment I met Matteo, I felt the sense of security I was looking for. He was kind, attentive, and professional from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all my questions, which made me feel well-informed before the surgery. I never had to go home and wonder about anything because he was so thorough in his explanations. It's now been three weeks since my surgery, and even though the healing process is still ongoing, I'm already incredibly happy with the result. The change is greater than I had dared to hope for, and I feel so grateful that I chose Matteo. I have more surgeries I want to undergo in the future, and there's no doubt that Matteo will be my first choice then too. I warmly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery!

A pro

I've had two surgeries with Matteo. The first was liposuction on my stomach, and most recently, my eyes – specifically, my lower eyelids and eyebrows. Matteo suggested a unique technique for my eyebrows that no other surgeon had proposed. This allowed me to remove excess skin under my eyebrows without needing an eyebrow or forehead lift, which I wasn't interested in. I'm extremely happy with the results of both my procedures. Matteo is a true professional; he loves his work, and you're always met with kindness and genuine care. He's an excellent communicator, explaining everything clearly and answering all questions and concerns. You feel completely confident in his knowledge and experience. Matteo also has a wonderful ability to make you feel understood; he listens carefully and is just as dedicated and invested as you are in achieving a successful procedure and outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Matteo. I've had surgery 6 times in total, with the last two being with him. Whatever my next procedure may be, I will undoubtedly choose Matteo first again.

The best surgeon

Matteo is an incredibly skilled surgeon whom I highly recommend. I underwent a major tummy tuck, and from the very first consultation, Matteo was professional, calm, and very accessible. He took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel secure, involved, and well-informed throughout the entire process. He thoroughly explained the procedure, recovery, and what results I could expect, which gave me great confidence going into the surgery. Everything went very well without any complications, and I am very happy with the result. I would undoubtedly choose Matteo again if I were to have more procedures in the future.

The best choice for a plastic surgeon!

Dr. Amoroso has performed several operations on me, including a neck and facelift with fat grafting, a lip lift, eyelid surgery, breast and tummy tucks, and liposuction on my knees. All operations have been successful and exceeded my expectations. I have worked with doctors for 50 years and am very impressed by Dr. Amoroso's artistry and skill. He is truly an asset to this profession and to patients who desire excellent results and the peace of mind that comes from being cared for in a responsible and professional manner.

Successful 360 lipo

Matteo is the best surgeon I could ever imagine. I am beyond satisfied. Both the care I received and the results of the 360 liposuction Matteo performed on me have been absolutely fantastic. It couldn't have been better! Everything has exceeded my expectations. Matteo is professional, skilled, competent, caring, reassuring, and experienced. Thank you, Matteo!
