Clitoral Hood Reduction in Gangnam

What Is Clitoral Hood Reduction?

Clitoral hood reduction is a minor surgical procedure that removes or reshapes the folds of skin (prepuce) that surround and sometimes conceal the clitoris. This can improve both the aesthetic appearance and functional accessibility of the clitoris, potentially enhancing sexual response.

The procedure is often performed on its own or combined with labiaplasty for more comprehensive vulvar rejuvenation.

Who Might Consider Clitoral Hood Reduction?

You may be a candidate for clitoral hood reduction if you:

• Have excess skin covering the clitoris, making stimulation difficult
• Experience discomfort or irritation during exercise or intercourse
• Want to improve the appearance of the vulva
• Have undergone labiaplasty and want better balance or symmetry
• Are looking to increase clitoral exposure and sensitivity

Korean women’s clinics offer private consultations to evaluate your goals and ensure the procedure is appropriate for your anatomy and preferences.

How Is the Procedure Performed in Korea?

In Korea, clitoral hood reduction is performed by board-certified gynecologic surgeons with microsurgical precision.

Procedure overview:

• Performed under local anesthesia with optional sedation
• Excess prepuce tissue is carefully trimmed using fine surgical instruments or laser
• Sutures are placed to ensure smooth healing and minimal scarring

Top FAQs About Clitoral Hood Reduction

Is the surgery painful?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and most patients feel only minor pressure or discomfort. Post-op pain is minimal and well-managed with oral painkillers.

Will it affect my ability to orgasm?
The procedure does not remove the clitoris—it simply uncovers it more. Many women report enhanced sensitivity, while others experience no change. The goal is better stimulation, not alteration of function.

Is there visible scarring?
When performed by a skilled surgeon, scarring is minimal to invisible and hidden in natural folds of the skin.

Can it be combined with other procedures?
Yes. It’s commonly performed alongside labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, or laser vaginal rejuvenation for a complete feminine makeover.
