Possible to Reverse a Clitoral Hood Reduction?

I had a labia reduction and a clitoral hood reduction. After two years, it still feels bent and out of place. I do not get much enjoyment as I used to before surgery.

Or am I out of luck? This is probably extremely risky. I should have never gotten surgery, regardless of how uncomfortable I used to be with it.

I am a little confused when you say: "move it higher up". The hood reduction has already moved it up. A correction would actually involve moving it down. Options do exist and include the possibility of skin grafting but this is somewhat agressive treatment. Gently consistent traction on the remaining hood can... more
