What Is Hoodectomy?
Hoodectomy, also called clitoral hood reduction, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin covering the clitoris while preserving its function and sensitivity. It is performed to improve balance in the intimate area and, in some cases, enhance comfort or stimulation.
The procedure carefully reshapes the clitoral hood without affecting the clitoris or its nerves and can be done alone or alongside labiaplasty.

The Hoodectomy Surgical Procedure
The hoodectomy procedure begins with a private consultation where the surgeon evaluates your anatomy, discusses your goals, and carefully plans the amount of tissue to remove for natural, balanced results. It is usually performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation to keep you comfortable and relaxed throughout the surgery.
During the procedure, only the excess hood tissue is precisely removed while fully preserving the clitoris and its nerve structures to maintain sensation. The incisions are then closed with fine, dissolvable sutures to support smooth healing and minimize scarring. After a short monitoring period, you return home the same day with clear aftercare instructions and support for the first 24 hours.
Why Women Consider Hoodectomy
Enhanced clitoral exposure and sensation: Reducing excess hood tissue allows better access to the clitoris, which may improve stimulation and sexual satisfaction without altering the clitoris itself.
Improved aesthetic appearance: Hoodectomy creates smoother, more balanced proportions and reduces bulky or uneven tissue for a more refined look.
Reduced physical irritation: Removing excess folds helps decrease chafing, discomfort during activity, and irritation from tight clothing.
Addressing asymmetry concerns: Selective tissue removal corrects unevenness of the clitoral hood, improving symmetry, comfort, and confidence.

+400,000 Happy Clients and Counting
Came from Milan for breast augmentation. I was very scared at first. Doctor explained everything simple and clear. Result looks natural, exactly what I wanted. Recovery was ok, first days little pain but normal. Very happy I did this.
I travelled from Rome for rhinoplasty. My nose was broken years ago and also I didn’t like the shape. Now breathing better and profile looks much nicer. Hospital very modern, staff very kind. I would do it again here.
I did liposuction on stomach and flanks. I tried gym and diets but nothing worked. Now body looks more balanced. Surgery went smooth, nurses checked me many times. Tirana was also a very nice city to explore.
Came from Bologna for facelift. I didn’t want dramatic change, just look fresher. Result very natural, friends say I look rested not “operated”. Healing was faster than I expected. Very professional team.
I came from Florence for tummy tuck after weight loss. I had loose skin that bothered me a lot. Doctor was honest about scar and recovery time. Now 3 months later I feel much more confident. So worth it for me!
Travelled from Turin for eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). I always looked tired before. Now eyes look open and fresh but still natural. Surgery day was well organised, I felt safe all the time with staff on me 24/7.
Determining If You’re a Hoodectomy Candidate
Women with excess hood tissue: Candidates include women with naturally or age-related excess clitoral hood skin that creates a hooded or bulky appearance and can be improved with careful tissue reduction.
Those experiencing reduced sensitivity: Women who feel excess hood tissue limits clitoral stimulation may benefit, as hoodectomy improves exposure without affecting nerves.
What to Expect During Hoodectomy Recovery
First 48 hours: Initial healing. Mild to moderate swelling and tenderness are normal, rest is essential, pain is well controlled with medication, hygiene must be gentle, and cold packs can help reduce swelling.
Days 3–7: Gradual improvement. Swelling begins to decrease, discomfort lessens daily, gentle walking is encouraged, and loose cotton underwear helps avoid irritation.
Weeks 2–3: Returning to routine. Most swelling has subsided, normal daily activities can resume, sutures begin dissolving, but exercise and sexual activity are still avoided.
Weeks 4–6: Increased activity clearance. Swelling is minimal, light exercise is gradually reintroduced, and sexual activity is usually cleared around week six.
Months 2–3: Final results appearing. All swelling resolves, scars continue fading, normal sensation stabilizes, and full comfort and natural-looking results are achieved.

- Choose loose-fitting clothing and avoid tight jeans, leggings, or thongs initially.

- Abstain from all sexual activity, for 4–6 weeks or as advised.
Scarring After Hoodectomy
Hoodectomy incisions are carefully placed within natural folds of the clitoral hood, making resulting scars extremely discreet. In the first weeks, scars may appear slightly pink or visible, but they improve quickly as healing progresses.
By around three months, scars usually fade significantly and blend with surrounding tissue, and between six to twelve months they are often virtually invisible. Proper aftercare and individual healing factors play an important role in final scar appearance, with most patients experiencing excellent cosmetic outcomes.
