Who is this procedure for?
This procedure is for patients with a thick or long clitoral hood, of anatomical origin.
Some experience mechanical discomfort during sports activities or when wearing tight clothing.
Others describe a decrease in sensitivity, related to excessive skin coverage.
The request may be due to functional discomfort, sometimes associated with intimate distress.
An individual assessment helps to verify the medical relevance of the indication.
Consultation Process
The consultation allows for an analysis of the vulvar anatomy, the hood morphology, and the expressed expectations.
A precise clinical examination helps to distinguish a normal anatomical variation from a genuinely bothersome excess.
The possible technical options are explained in detail and cautiously.
A personalized quote is provided when the indication seems appropriate.
The potential outcomes, timelines, and limitations of the procedure are addressed unambiguously.
The Procedure in Practice
The procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia, sometimes combined with light sedation.
The operating time remains short, often less than an hour, depending on the extent of the procedure.
The principle is to remove excess skin, while respecting the nerve structures.
No prolonged hospitalization is usually necessary.
Cosmetic surgery procedures are performed in an authorized facility, outside our clinic.
Post-operative Recovery
Recovery often involves moderate swelling and temporary local sensitivity.
Pain generally remains mild, controlled by simple medication.
Daily local care is prescribed during the healing phase.
A gradual return to normal activities is expected, with temporary sexual abstinence.
Regular post-operative follow-up allows for monitoring of progress.
Results and Scars
The goal is better exposure of the clitoris, without excess or excessive uncovering.
The outcome develops gradually over several weeks, with secondary stabilization.
Scars remain discreet, hidden in the natural folds.
Scar quality depends on individual factors, particularly healing capacity.
The level of satisfaction varies according to initial expectations and anatomical situation.
Risks and Possible Complications
Like any surgical procedure, this intervention carries potential risks.
These include, in particular, infection, bleeding, delayed healing, or residual asymmetry.
A change in sensitivity may occur, most often temporary.
Complete information allows for informed decision-making.
The use of conditional language remains appropriate given individual variations.
Fees and Coverage
Clitoral hood reduction is usually considered cosmetic surgery and is not covered.
Fees depend on the anatomical complexity and the chosen surgical setting.
A detailed quote is provided after consultation.
No standard fee indication can be given without prior evaluation.
