The clitoral hood is a flap of skin above the labia, which protects the glans clitoris. Excess skin or folds in the clitoral hood can cause some discomfort, as well as take away from experiencing sexual satisfaction. When the clitoral hood has excess skin, the area can appear enlarged or uneven, making it look deformed, which also occurs when a Labiaplasty is performed. To get rid of this excess skin, a Clitoral Hood Reduction is performed.
