Clitoral Hood Sculpting, Defined

What is Clitoroplasty?

Clitoroplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or reduce the clitoral hood, often as part of a comprehensive approach to labial or vulvar rejuvenation. While the clitoris itself is not altered, the prepuce (hood) may be sculpted to improve comfort, hygiene, symmetry, or sexual well-being.

Common reasons for clitoroplasty include:

  • Discomfort in tight clothing or during physical activity
  • Difficulty with hygiene due to excess tissue
  • Reduced sensation or overexposure
  • Aesthetic refinement after childbirth, aging, or trauma

At Avané, clitoroplasty is always performed with the highest standards of surgical precision, using techniques that prioritize nerve preservation, symmetry, and patient privacy.

Surgical Feminine Care

What is the Clitoroplasty procedure like?

Your experience begins with a private, thorough consultation. We will discuss your goals, anatomy, and medical history in a respectful, one-on-one setting.

On procedure day:

  • The area is numbed with local anesthesia and light sedation, or general anesthesia if preferred
  • A small incision is made to reshape or reduce the clitoral hood
  • Dissolvable sutures are used to ensure optimal healing
  • The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis

You will return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions and scheduled follow-ups to ensure proper healing.

Correcting Discomfort

What conditions or concerns can Clitoroplasty address?

This is a deeply personal decision—and one that should be made with education, guidance, and clinical expertise.

Clitoroplasty may be appropriate if you are experiencing:

  • Excess skin or bulkiness in the clitoral hood
  • Aesthetic concerns about the appearance of the vulva
  • Discomfort during intimacy, exercise, or hygiene
  • Congenital asymmetry or changes due to childbirth, trauma, or aging
  • Desire for improved genital harmony when combined with labiaplasty or other procedures

Improved Function. Elegant Form.

What are the benefits of Clitoroplasty?

Clitoroplasty offers both functional and aesthetic benefits when performed by a skilled surgeon:

  • Improved comfort in clothing, exercise, and daily activity
  • Refined appearance of the vulva and clitoral area
  • Enhanced sexual confidence and intimacy
  • Better hygiene and reduced irritation
  • Symmetry and balance when combined with labiaplasty

Most importantly, patients report a renewed sense of autonomy and self-confidence—knowing their body reflects how they want to feel.

From Surgery to Symmetry

Clitoroplasty Recovery

Clitoroplasty is a low-risk procedure with a smooth recovery timeline, especially when post-op instructions are followed closely. After surgery, expect:

  • Mild swelling and tenderness for 5–7 days
  • Use of ice packs and prescription ointments to reduce inflammation
  • Avoidance of sexual activity, strenuous exercise, and tight clothing for 4–6 weeks
  • Follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure results

Most patients return to work or light activity within one week.

Clitoroplasty Results

Clitoroplasty provides long-lasting, often permanent results. Results typically stabilize within 8–12 weeks, once all swelling has subsided.

Final outcomes include:

  • A more refined and symmetrical clitoral hood
  • Reduced discomfort or bulkiness
  • Improved confidence in intimate situations
  • A natural look that aligns with your personal aesthetic
