What Is Clitoroplasty?

Clitoroplasty refers to a group of surgical procedures involving the clitoris and surrounding tissue. It may include:

  • Clitoral hood reduction (prepuce reduction): Removal of excess skin covering the clitoris
  • Clitoral unhooding: Increased exposure for improved sensitivity
  • Clitoral reduction: For congenital enlargement or hypertrophy
  • Aesthetic refinement: For visual symmetry or cosmetic preferences
  • Reconstructive surgery: Following trauma or previous surgeries

The procedure is customized based on each patient's anatomical needs and goals, often performed alongside labiaplasty or vaginoplasty as part of comprehensive genital rejuvenation.


Who Is a Candidate for Clitoroplasty?

Clitoroplasty may be considered by women who:

  • Have excess clitoral hood tissue causing discomfort or reduced sensitivity
  • Experience pain during sex or physical activity due to tissue rubbing or irritation
  • Wish to improve the appearance or symmetry of the genital area
  • Have clitoromegaly (enlarged clitoris) from hormonal conditions or congenital causes
  • Are undergoing gender affirmation or reconstructive surgery

In Korea, a private consultation with a board-certified gynecologic surgeon ensures that clitoroplasty is appropriate and performed with medical and ethical care.


How Is Clitoroplasty Performed in Korea?

Korean clinics use microsurgical precision and cosmetic techniques to ensure natural-looking, functional results with minimal scarring.

Procedure overview:

  • Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia
  • The surgeon carefully reshapes the clitoral tissue or removes excess hood skin
  • Special attention is paid to preserving nerves and blood supply
  • The incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches
  • Duration: 30–90 minutes, depending on complexity
  • Same-day discharge (no overnight stay required)

Clinics in Seoul are known for their attention to detail, high privacy standards, and advanced aesthetic outcomes.


Benefits of Clitoroplasty

  • Improved clitoral sensitivity and sexual response
  • Relief from physical discomfort during movement or intercourse
  • Enhanced aesthetic appearance of the vulva
  • Greater self-confidence and comfort in intimate settings
  • Low risk of complications when performed by experienced surgeons

Post-op expectations:

  • Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for 5–7 days
  • Light activity can resume after 2–3 days
  • Avoid intercourse, tampon use, and strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks
  • Full healing usually occurs within 4–8 weeks

Top FAQs About Clitoroplasty

Is clitoroplasty painful?
The procedure is done under anesthesia, and post-op discomfort is usually mild and controlled with pain medication.

Will it affect sexual sensation?
When performed correctly by an experienced surgeon, sensation is preserved or even enhanced. Nerve-sparing techniques are essential.

Will there be visible scars?
Scarring is minimal and hidden in the natural folds of the vulva. Most patients report no visible marks after full healing.

Is it the same as a clitoral hood reduction?
Clitoral hood reduction is a type of clitoroplasty focused on removing excess prepuce tissue. Full clitoroplasty may involve more extensive reshaping or reduction.

Can it be combined with other procedures?
Yes. It’s commonly done with labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, or fat grafting for complete intimate rejuvenation.
