The female genital organ follows consistent basic anatomy, but the appearance in individual women may vary significantly. Furthermore, the external genitalia appearance can be affected by aging, childbirth, genetics, hormones, and weight changes.
Many women prefer Clitoral Hoodectomy in Dubai & Abu Dhabi with other cosmetic procedures, such as Labiaplasty, Vaginoplasty, and mommy makeover. In contrast, many others choose hoodectomy to be performed standalone cosmetic procedure.
Clitoral Hoodectomy:
The clitoral hood, or prepuce, is a tissue that naturally covers the clitoris. It is the forward extension of the labium minora and is lifted out of the way for clitoral exposure. Excess skin in the region can contribute to decreased sexual sensitivity and even discomfort during an intimate state of affairs.
Women with clitoral hood or prepuce- (the skin that covers the clitoris) excess may have an overhanging clitoral hood. A simple procedure, known as a hoodectomy, shortens the clitoral hood, improving the aesthetic appearance is the perfect solution for this problem.
Once the excess skin of the clitoral hood is removed, the clitoral bulge becomes more prominent and has a greater ability to be stimulated. Clitoral Hoodectomy can result in increased sexual stimulation, improved sexual response, and achieving orgasm during intimate situations.
Some studies suggest that hoodectomy contributes to a lower incidence of yeast and bacterial infections related to the female vulva. After undergoing clitoral hoodectomy, women report a significant increase in self-confidence during intimate situations and a heightened sexual response as well.
Good Candidate for Hoodectomy:
Several aspects must be considered while determining if you’re a candidate for the procedure. Women unhappy with the appearance of their vulva or notice a change in the appearance of their vulva due to aging or childbirth are good candidates.
Those who find it very hard to reach orgasm, have little stimulation of the clitoral node or have enlarged labium majora, may also undergo the process.
It would help if you had good health in general, both physically and mentally. You should discuss any long-term illnesses with your doctor before getting the procedure to ensure that there are no medical risks associated with it.
Consultation before Procedure:
Your hoodectomy journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with one of our board-certified genital reconstructive surgeons. The doctor will explain the entire procedure step by step. During the consultation, feel free to ask any questions and express your concerns and ultimate goals for a hoodectomy.
The Procedure:
The Clitoral Hoodectomy in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient safety and comfort. The procedure usually takes approximately an hour to complete. Due to the nature of the procedure, it does not take too long, even when combined with a labiaplasty or vaginoplasty.
The hoodectomy procedure decreases the prominence and projection of the prepuce of the clitoris, which can protrude past the adjacent labium majora. The size of the clitoris can be modified by removing a strip along both sides of the hood, closing the point of attachment. This helps conceal the scar well while still achieving the anticipated results.
It is a day procedure, so the patients can go home the same day and are comfortable as there is long-acting numbing medicine placed in the surgical site during the procedure.
The Recovery:
The clitoral hoodectomy has a minimal recovery time, and you can return to work in 3-5 days and workout and sexual activity in approximately 3-5 weeks. You might experience some swelling and minor discomfort during the recovery phase. Getting lots of rest will help you heal fast. A healthy diet and lots of liquids also help the process.
The visual enhancement will be visible instantly after the procedure, and improvements will continue for the first three weeks as swelling decreases.
However, the healing time may be longer when a hoodectomy is performed with a labiaplasty or vaginoplasty. Avoid vigorous exercises, and sexual intercourse should be avoided for at least six weeks.
