We do aesthetics better
At Harley Street Skin Clinic London, we perform the latest hoodectomy treatments – perfect for anyone seeking a more symmetrical, pleasant and comfortable intimate area. Whether it’s to relieve discomfort, change your hygiene or make you feel like a better you, our consultants are here to support your decision with professionalism.
We specialize in natural looking, practical corrections. Whether it is because of festering, disruptive skin or because of the way they wish to look, our team work hard to provide highly individualised care to make patients feel at home in their own skin.
Whether you’re looking for a boost in confidence, a reduction in friction, or just a more positive outlook when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the shower or bedroom mirror, hoodectomy is an intimate decision that should only be trusted to an experienced pair of hands.
How does Hoodectomy work?
Hoodectomy also called clitoral hood reduction is a sensitive elective surgery which decreases the prominence of folds of skin surrounding the external female genital organ. This could be for cleanliness, comfort during sex or just for balance.
The operation, generally carried out under local anaesthetic, is a delicate re-shaping of the clitoral hood, to reveal partially or fully the clitoris, and still retain sensitivity. It is far less invasive than full labiaplasty, and there’s normally a simple recovery period.
The Benefits of Hoodectomy
This is the most common type of hoodectomy and is for women who have excess skin obscuring the clitoral glans. They may be interfering with, and compromising, personal hygiene because the extra layer of skin traps moisture; causing, in some cases, pain and/or irritation from rubbing during physical activity or sexual intercourse.
Classification: Invasive.
Downtime: 5 – 7 days.
Best for: Patients with friction (discomfort) to oversize labial skin, issues with hygiene that have large labia but are looking for a more symmetrical appearance.
This is a great choice for anyone that has previously had genital surgery—like a hoodectomy, labiaplasty or other vulval procedures— and is unhappy with the outcome. Some of the reasons include asymmetry, heightened scars, or that the result achieved was not what was expected.
Classification: Invasive.
Downtime: 7 – 14 days.
Best for: Patients who have undergone previous surgery and desire increased symmetry, comfort or a more natural appearance.

Today I had my visia done today with Lesley. As usual I was given plenty of time to look at the before and after pictures to see the progress with my skin.

Loose skin is trimmed and meticulously reshaped to not impair sensation over the clitoris.
You will experience pressure not pain while the procedure is being performed. Post-op pain is manageable and minimal with OTC meds.
Most procedures are typically 45–60 minutes. You are released the same day.
It may be a good option for anyone over 18 whose abdomen is fully developed. There is no maximum age, as long as one is healthy enough.
Yes. Many patients merge hoodectomy with labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation — just spread them out as recommended.
Do not wear tight underwear or jeans for approximately a week. Go with loose, breathable materials.
Revisions are considered if necessary after 6–12 months.
Do not cause trauma to the treated area, while it is healing. Maintain follow-up visits and follow post operative care.
Yes — some patients elect to do so in addition to liposuction or stretch mark treatments for complete contouring. Just space them out so you don’t get too much at once,

For some women, the clitoral hood can present chronic problems be it irritation from tight clothing, problems during sexual activity or even hygiene issues. Hoodectomy is a simple surgical procedure where you remove the extra tissue around the clitoris, and this can help to address the sensitivity problem that some women have and allow them to get through life. It may also offer peace of mind that things don’t have to be as uncomfortable and a sense of a newfound ease in your body.
Extra tissue around the clitoris may also rub, chafe, or be uncomfortable during particular activities or even with clothing.
With an icky routine, you can get frustrated, self-consciousness and struggle to clean properly. Hoodectomy can also simplify daily hygiene.
For others, the choice is partly how they feel about their own body. A hoodectomy can restore balance and even give one the confidence in their private area.
You don’t have to go under the knife to feel better in your own skin. Other times, a small tweak, such as reducing the folds around the clitoris, can give you a renewed sense of confidence, comfort and control over your body.
You may have minor pain, tenderness or burning near the surgical site. Mild swelling or tenderness when walking, sitting, or wiping is normal.
Swelling generally will start to recede, and any light bruising will begin to fade.
The pain and swelling are largely gone. Tissue begins to set in its new, perfected form.
The area looks smoother and more even, yet deeper tissue is healing.
Final results are visible. The tissue is completely matured and developed in its normal shape.
Just like any cosmetic surgery, there are a few risks hoodectomy. These may include:
Usual Side Effects
Adverse Effects
Although rare, the following complications may occur:
These risks are significantly minimised when selecting a qualified, experienced surgeon who is an expert in the intimate procedure and offers personal aftercare.
