While the inner lips (labia minora) are generally at the forefront of female genital aesthetics, one of the most critical points determining the aesthetic integrity and sexual function of the region is the clitoris. The clitoris is the only organ in the female body whose sole function is to provide sexual pleasure.
However, in some women, the skin tissue covering the clitoris (Clitoral Hood) can be structurally too thick, folded, or wide. This causes the clitoris to look prominent—resembling a “microphone” or “button”—from the outside, creating aesthetic discomfort. More importantly, this thick layer of skin can prevent clitoral stimulation, leading to decreased sexual pleasure or difficulty achieving orgasm.
Dr. Andan Clinic permanently resolves this issue through Clitoral Hoodoplasty (Clitoris Aesthetics), one of the most sophisticated procedures in genital aesthetics. This operation involves thinning and retracting the excess skin covering the clitoris without touching the clitoris itself. The result is an aesthetically more refined, smooth appearance and a functionally exposed clitoris that is open to stimulation.
There are two primary motivations for our patients regarding this operation: Aesthetic Concern and Sexual Pleasure.
Aesthetic Reasons: The swelling and skin folds formed in the upper part of the genital area (where the Mons Pubis meets the inner lips) can be noticeable from the outside, especially when wearing tight clothing or bikinis. Furthermore, if a labiaplasty (inner lip aesthetics) is performed without addressing the clitoral skin, the area looks “unfinished” and disproportionate. Hoodoplasty refines and smooths this region.
Functional Reasons (Sexual Pleasure): The clitoris is a sensitive organ containing thousands of nerve endings. If it is covered by a thick “skin blanket,” it cannot be sufficiently stimulated during sexual intercourse or contact. Hoodoplasty removes this barrier, bringing the clitoris closer to the surface and significantly increasing sexual satisfaction (orgasm quality).
Clitoral Hoodoplasty is a very sensitive surgery that requires mastery of anatomy. This is because there is only a millimetric distance between the target skin tissue and the clitoral nerves immediately beneath it. Dr. Andan Clinic surgeons follow these steps without ever damaging the nerve endings:
Incision Plan: Where and how much of the excess skin will be removed (from the midline or the sides) is planned specifically for the individual.
Skin Removal: The excess skin and the underlying mucosa are thinned in a way that does not expose the glans clitoris excessively but eliminates the extreme coverage.
Suturing: Self-dissolving sutures, as thin as a strand of hair, are used to ensure no scars are left.
The procedure is usually performed in the same session as a Labiaplasty, but it can also be applied alone. It takes an average of 30–40 minutes under local anesthesia or sedation.
The “golden ratio” balance in genital aesthetics lies in the harmony between the inner lips and the clitoral skin. If only the inner lips are reduced (Labiaplasty) but the coarse skin over the clitoris is left behind, the clitoris will look larger and more prominent than before (resembling a phallic appearance). Therefore, Dr. Andan Clinic combines Labiaplasty and Hoodoplasty (Composite Genital Aesthetics) in 90% of its patients to ensure a perfect transition and naturalness.
Pain: Post-operative pain is minimal and subsides with simple painkillers.
Care: Keeping the area dry and clean is sufficient.
Social Life: Patients return home the same day and can return to work after 3 days.
Sexual Life: Sexual abstinence is recommended for 4–6 weeks to allow the stitches to heal.
Clitoral Hoodoplasty is a “liberating” operation that allows a woman to both make peace with her body visually and maximize the pleasure she receives from sexual life. Take a step toward feeling more feminine and happy with Dr. Andan Clinic, which prioritizes your privacy and comfort.
No, this is the biggest misconception. The operation is performed not on the clitoris itself (the nerve bundle), but only on the skin covering it (a foreskin-like structure). Since the nerves are preserved, there is no loss of sensation. On the contrary, sensation and arousal increase because the obstructing skin is removed.
Yes. If you don’t have sagging inner labia and are only concerned about excess skin on the clitoris, a clitoral hood reduction can be performed on its own. However, both issues are usually seen together.
The incision sites are hidden in the natural folds (grooves) on either side of the clitoris. The skin in the genital area heals very quickly and does not leave scars. Once healing is complete (3-6 months), it is almost impossible to see the scars.
Medically, orgasm is a complex process, but once the physical barrier (thick skin) is removed, stimulation of the clitoris becomes easier. The vast majority of our patients report an increase in sexual pleasure and orgasm intensity after surgery.
No. Clitoral hoodoplasty is a superficial procedure performed on the external genital area. It has no relation to the uterus, ovaries, or birth canal. It does not prevent pregnancy or normal childbirth.
