Why is there risk of nerve damage to the clitoris with a labiaplasty?

Asked By:ninny11

Hello, I consider having labiaplasty and hood reduction. Theoretically, these surgeries don't involve the clitoris and the dorsal nerve of the clitoris, and theortically no damage to the clitoris, means no nerve damage, no constant pain and no lost of sensation. So why is there still a risk? (1) does practically the surgeon might touch or cut them accidently? (2) Is it not just the dorsal nerve of the clitoris that control it, but other nerves cutting, can cause to these problems? thank yo
