Can Extra Skin Over the Clitoris Be Removed?
Female intimate surgery can effectively correct a wide range of issues from which women may be suffering. To get a realistic understanding of what they can achieve through a procedure like labiaplasty and optimum results, patients should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in performing various vaginal rejuvenation techniques.
Dr. Steven Yarinsky has offered his expertise on a number of questions posed by people regarding topics like labiaplasty on the online resource Realself. In one of the entries, a woman expressed her discomfort with the excessive skin overlying her clitoris, saying that it was affecting her sex life. She had met with a plastic surgeon about the problem but was told a significant improvement couldn’t be achieved, which ultimately led to her looking for a second opinion.
Dr. Yarinsky was pleased to set the record straight for this concerned woman. He responded that excessively visible clitoral hood skin can be removed or reduced effectively with a double-wedge type labiaplasty. If the labia minora are not prominent, a lateral skin wedge resection alone may provide her with the result that she desired. Dr. Yarinsky described the procedure, noting that an anterior external wedge of skin is removed from either side of the hood of skin overlying the clitoris. By doing this, the desired trimmer appearance can be achieved. While Dr. Yarinsky’s patients have found that a clitoral hood reduction may also increase clitoral sensitivity and satisfaction during intercourse, no particular result can be guaranteed.
