What are these folds and how should they be operated? (Photos)

ninny11
Hello doctors I consider having labiaplasty + hood reduction, and I want to have deeper understanding of it . 1) How are those two folds on the sides of the clitoris (red) define anatomically? Parts of the labia, clitoris hood or a different classification? 2) Does it have higher risk on operate these folds (since their proximity to the clit or another risk cause)? 3) What are the surgical approaches for that? Thanks a lot
