Answer: Do I need cliteral hood reduction Thank you for your questionLabia come in all different forms and they are all normal. The question of whether or not to have a reduction is you personally feel about your labia. I have many patients who have labia similar to yours who are perfectly comfortable and fine with the appearance. . I have others who may have discomfort due to the size or are self conscious of their appearance for whom reduction would improve their self image and make them feel better. That is a decision only you can make. If you choose surgery do your homework and be careful on your choice of surgeon. The video below may be of help

Answer: Within the range of normal Women’s genitalia vary greatly in appearance. If you aren’t experiencing any discomfort, then your clitoral hood is within the range of “normal”. You can confirm this with your gynaecologist.

Answer: CHR Hi, As a surgeon who does genital cosmetic surgery, first there is no need to do any surgery on you. The labia minora are a little fuller than most, but there isn't anything abnormal about your genitalia. The fullness you see in the middle of the labia minora can be easily reduced if you are self conscience about it or if you have problems wearing tight bathing suits or things show in tight jeans. Also, some of my patients complain that sitting in certain positions can be uncomfortable with the lips getting caught from one side or another. WIth all that being said, there are very few if any true medical necessities to labial reduction surgery. If you were to come to me with this shaped labia, I would offer you surgery if and only if it were something you truly desired for your own self. Thanks OPS

Answer: Clitoral Hood Reduction Hello there, Whether or not the clitoral hood should be addressed is a common question my patients have. It typically depends on the individual's surgical goals and anatomy.In this picture, I cannot clearly see the clitoral hood. That being said, I also do not see any obvious redundancy of the hood. Perhaps submit another photo with the clitoral hood more visible. Hope that helps! Sincerely,Jennifer Adams.MD, FRCSC
