What is the best way to fix this? One side of my clitoris is very enlarged and connects to the labia which has been corrected.
Answer: Clitoral hood reduction Thank you for posting. Obviously, a proper in person examination would be needed to confirm and review your best options. However, based on your description and the limited view of your picture. Typically, a clitoral hood procedure would be performed to minimize and reduce the side of your clitoral hood and improve symmetry. Thus type of procedure is usually done under local anesthesia. Please do your research and pick someone you not only feel comfortable with but has extensive experience performing hood reductions.

Answer: What is the best way to fix one sided clitoral hood enlargement? Hello mumblesalot123,The best approach would have been to reduce your clitoral hood at the time of the Labiaplasty. Why this wasn't performed or recommended is incomprehensible. It's difficult to tell from this one photo but you may have redundant hood on the other side as well as asymmetric labia minora.I recommend you consult with an experienced cosmetic vaginal surgeon to plan your next surgery.Best of luck,Oscar A. Aguirre, MD, FPMRSUrogynecologist & Cosmetic Vaginal SurgeonDenver, CO - USA

Answer: One sided clitoral hypertrophy HI mumbles, I agree with some of the other docs that you do not have enough photos of what is under the left sided clitoral hypertrophy. In any case, you should see an MD in you area who done a lot of these procedures for an in person exam. You could also send more pictures of what is under the enlarged labia minora on the left.Best,Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: What's the best way to fix one-sided clitoral hood enlargement? Dear Mumblesalot123,Thank you for writing in with your excellent question and for sharing your photo.To answer your question: One-sided or unilateral hood enlargement can be reduced with a one-sided or unilateral hood reduction without affecting clitoral sensation or position if done by experienced hands.From your picture, you do have one side of your hood that is prominent and that can be reduced. If you have any other concerns, either aesthetically or comfort-wise, you have not expressed that and we can't see more of your anatomy to make other recommendations.I recommend an evaluation by at least one experienced cosmetic-plastic gynecologist to assess your symptoms and anatomy prior to committing to surgery.To read more about clitoral hood reduction, please visit the link below.I hope this information is helpful.Sincerely,Troy R.

Answer: Unilateral left hoodectomy for one-sided clitoral hood enlargement You’re in good company with many other females. Anatomy of the vulva, labia and clitoral hood are often not completely even. In your case, the left side is significantly larger than the right side and could indeed benefit from a unilateral (i.e. one-sided) left clitoral hoodectomy whereby the excess redundant tissue is removed in an effort to best match the right side. As many other surgeons have stated here, this is not a procedure for an novice so make sure your chosen surgeon is reputable labiaplasty specialist. Glad to help
