A clitoral hood reduction is a procedure to correct the appearance and function of the clitoral hood. The purpose of the clitoral hood is to cover the clitoris during day to day activity but be allowed to retract during intercourse. Often times the clitoral hood becomes elongated to a point were it makes the clitoral area appear very large or is too large to retract during sex causing delay or decreased pleasure impacting orgasmic function. A clitoral hood reduction is performed to reduce the size and often can be lifted to reduce the appearance fo the clitoris. This is performed often times along with a labiaplasty to provide a balanced look.
