Precision Intimate Surgery Focused on Comfort, Proportion and Anatomy
Clitoral hood reduction is a specialised intimate surgical procedure designed for women who experience discomfort, functional concerns, or aesthetic dissatisfaction related to excess skin around the clitoral hood. For some, the issue is physical, including irritation during daily activity or intimacy. For others, it relates to proportion, symmetry, or changes following childbirth or ageing.
At Delta Clinics, we provide clitoral hood reduction in London using precise surgical techniques tailored to each individual. The aim is to reduce excess tissue while preserving natural anatomy and sensitivity, with careful attention to comfort, discretion and long-term outcomes.
What Is Clitoral Hood Reduction Surgery?
Clitoral hood reduction surgery, sometimes referred to as hoodectomy, is a procedure that removes excess folds of skin covering the clitoris. When the hood is enlarged or redundant, it can cause irritation, hygiene difficulties, or interfere with comfort during intimacy or physical activity.
Some women seek clitoral hood reduction for functional reasons, while others choose the procedure to achieve an improved proportion between the clitoral hood and surrounding tissues. In certain cases, the surgery is performed alongside other intimate procedures, such as labiaplasty, to create a more balanced overall result.
Key Benefits of

Improved comfort during daily movement, exercise, or intimacy - Correction of asymmetry or disproportion in the clitoral hood area

What Does the Procedure Involve?
Clitoral hood reduction is typically performed as a day-case procedure under local or general anaesthesia, depending on individual circumstances and surgical planning. The surgeon carefully removes excess clitoral hood tissue while preserving the underlying clitoral structure and nerve supply, with the focus on reshaping rather than aggressive tissue removal.
Incisions are placed with precision to minimise scarring and support natural healing. The procedure itself is relatively short and is planned to prioritise safety, comfort and preservation of sensation, while achieving a balanced and proportionate outcome.
The Process: What to Expect
Step 1: Consultation and Assessment
Your consultation is conducted in a private and supportive setting, allowing time to discuss your symptoms, concerns and goals in detail. The surgeon will assess your anatomy, explain whether clitoral hood reduction is suitable for you and outline what the procedure can realistically achieve. Any relevant medical history is reviewed to ensure safety.
Step 2: Personalised Surgical Planning
If you choose to proceed, a tailored surgical plan is created based on your anatomy and preferences. This includes decisions around anaesthesia, surgical technique and whether any additional procedures are recommended. You will receive clear guidance on preparation, recovery expectations and aftercare requirements.
Step 3: Surgery
On the day of surgery, the procedure is performed in a fully equipped clinical environment. Excess tissue is carefully reshaped using precise techniques, with close attention paid to protecting sensitivity and achieving a natural contour. Once complete, the area is closed with fine sutures designed to heal neatly.
Step 4: Recovery and Follow-Up
Following surgery, you will be monitored before discharge and provided with detailed aftercare instructions. Follow-up appointments are arranged to assess healing, address any concerns and ensure recovery is progressing as expected. Ongoing support is available throughout this period.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does clitoral hood reduction affect sensitivity?
When performed correctly, clitoral hood reduction is designed to preserve sensation by avoiding the clitoral nerve and underlying structures. Surgical planning focuses on reshaping excess tissue only, rather than aggressive removal.
Will clitoral hood reduction leave visible scars?
Incisions are placed carefully within natural tissue folds to keep scarring as discreet as possible. Over time, scars typically soften and fade as healing progresses.
Does clitoral hood reduction change appearance immediately?
Some swelling is expected in the early healing phase, so the final appearance develops gradually rather than instantly. The refined result becomes clearer as swelling settles and tissues adjust.
Is clitoral hood reduction a permanent procedure?
The removal of excess clitoral hood tissue is permanent. Normal ageing and tissue changes can still occur over time, but the surgical correction itself does not reverse.
Can clitoral hood reduction be combined with labiaplasty?
Yes, clitoral hood reduction is sometimes performed alongside labiaplasty to improve overall balance and proportion. This is assessed during consultation based on anatomy rather than routine pairing.
