Clitoral Hood Reduction
Board-Certified Ob-Gyn Surgeon
Doctor-Led Feminine Surgery by a Board-Certified OB-GYN
Cosmetic Gynecologist Kimberly L Evans, MD
Clitoral Hood Reduction is a cosmetic gynecology surgical procedure that refines excess tissue of the clitoral hood, the fold of skin that covers and protects the clitoris. When excess tissue is present, it may contribute to discomfort, hygiene challenges, or imbalance with surrounding anatomy.
At our Houston practice, clitoral hood reduction is personally evaluated and performed by Dr. Kimberly Evans, a board-certified OB-GYN with extensive experience in female pelvic anatomy. Every procedure is individualized, discreet, and grounded in medical expertise and anatomical precision.
What Is Clitoral Hood Reduction?
Clitoral Hood Reduction is a surgical refinement of excess clitoral hood tissue designed to improve comfort, balance, and proportional anatomy.
The procedure focuses only on the clitoral hood skin and does not involve the clitoris itself.
When performed correctly by an experienced OB-GYN, clitoral hood reduction preserves sensation
and function while addressing excess or asymmetric tissue.
This procedure may be performed on its own or, in select cases, evaluated alongside other cosmetic gynecology procedures.
What Clitoral Hood Reduction Can Address
Patients may consider clitoral hood reduction for concerns such as:
Excess clitoral hood tissue
Asymmetry of the clitoral hood
Discomfort with clothing or exercise
Hygiene challenges related to excess skin
Imbalance with surrounding anatomy
Functional or comfort concerns affecting intimacy
Each patient’s anatomy is unique, which is why careful medical evaluation is essential.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Clitoral Hood Reduction?
-
Experience discomfort or irritation related to excess hood tissue
Have anatomical asymmetry affecting comfort or confidence
Are in good overall health
Have realistic expectations
Desire a doctor-led, anatomy-focused approach
A private consultation allows Dr. Evans to determine whether clitoral hood reduction — or an alternative treatment — is most appropriate.
Clitoral Hood Reduction vs. Other Cosmetic Gynecology Procedures
Cosmetic gynecology procedures address different anatomical areas and should not be confused.
Clitoral Hood Reduction focuses on excess clitoral hood tissue
Labiaplasty focuses on labia minora and/or labia majora
Perineoplasty focuses on support at the vaginal opening
Vaginoplasty focuses on internal vaginal canal and muscles
These procedures are distinct but can be routinely combined unless medically inappropriate after careful evaluation.
