What Is a Clitoral Unhooding?
Clitoral Unhooding, also known as Clitoral Hood Reduction, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin covering the clitoral hood. The goal is to create a more balanced appearance while preserving the natural anatomy and function of the clitoris.
Some women naturally have excess clitoral hood tissue due to genetics, while others notice changes following aging or childbirth. Clitoral Unhooding is commonly performed together with labiaplasty to achieve a more harmonious appearance of the vulva.

How a Clitoral Unhooding is Performed
Clitoral Unhooding Recovery
Most patients return home the same day after Clitoral Unhooding. It's normal to experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the first few weeks as the area heals.
Most patients can return to work within 3–7 days, depending on the type of work they do. Strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, tampon use, and sexual intercourse should be avoided for approximately 4–6 weeks, or until your surgeon confirms that healing is complete.
You'll attend follow-up appointments at Clinic 360 so your surgeon can monitor your recovery and ensure you're healing as expected.

Clitoral Unhooding Results
Clitoral Unhooding is designed to reduce excess clitoral hood tissue, creating a more balanced appearance while preserving the natural anatomy of the clitoris. Many patients report improved confidence and greater comfort once healing is complete.
Swelling gradually improves over several weeks, with final results typically visible within 3–6 months. When combined with labiaplasty, the procedure can provide a more harmonious overall appearance of the vulva.
Clitoral Unhooding Risks
Clitoral Unhooding is generally a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon, but like any surgery, it carries some risks. These may include bleeding, infection, swelling, bruising, temporary discomfort, delayed wound healing, scarring, or temporary changes in sensation.
The procedure is performed with meticulous attention to preserving the normal anatomy and function of the clitoris. Your surgeon will discuss all potential risks during your consultation and provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
How Much Does a Clitoral Unhooding Cost?
Clitoral Unhooding starts from:
- $3,500 – Performed alone under local anesthesia
- $2,000 – When combined with a labiaplasty
Many patients choose to add Clitoral Unhooding to their labiaplasty to create a more balanced and harmonious result.
