Also known as a hoodectomy, cliteral hood reduction surgery can be performed to remove an excess of skin over the clitoral area. By removing this excess of skin which is commonly known to reduce sensitivity or cause painful sex, the procedure can result in a smoother and tighter hood without effecting clitoral function. In fact, many patients report increased sensation during sex.
Following the surgery, patients should be able to return to light activities the following day, however it is recommended to wait five to ten days before returning to work and abstain from intercourse for around 6-7 weeks.
