Q: Labiaplasty for hood covering clitoris too much? asked by JustAGirl New York, NY

A:

So much is involved with enjoying sex.  Mechanical stimulation of the clitoris is definitely part of it.  A clitoral hood reduction may help in a few ways:

  1. It will expose more of your clitoris. 
  2. Mentally you may feel more attractive and sexual. 

Whether you need a Labiaplasty in addition to a clitoral hood reduction would be determined during your consultation with a plastic surgeon.
