Aesthetic & Functional Hood Reduction
Clitoral Hood Reduction, or Hoodectomy, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove excess tissue (the prepuce) surrounding the clitoris. This procedure is often performed for women who experience physical discomfort from chafing during exercise, or for those who feel the clitoris is over-covered, affecting both aesthetic confidence and intimate sensitivity.
Dr. Smitha utilizes a meticulous, nerve-sparing surgical approach to ensure that the delicate sensory nerves remain completely intact while achieving a more contoured and balanced appearance. This procedure is frequently performed alongside Labiaplasty to provide a harmonious and comfortable result, tailored to the unique anatomy of each patient.

Hood Reduction FAQ
Common questions about balancing clitoral hood aesthetics and physical comfort.
No. Dr. Smitha uses a nerve-sparing technique that focuses solely on the skin (hood) and does not involve the clitoris itself. In many cases, patients report improved sensitivity because the clitoris is no longer buried under excess skin.
Yes. Many patients choose to combine these procedures for a more uniform aesthetic result and to address both functional comfort and appearance in a single recovery period.
Most patients return to sedentary work within 3-4 days. You should avoid cycling, horseback riding, or sexual intercourse for 4-6 weeks to ensure the surgical site is fully healed.
