I had a hood reduction - I don’t like how wide it is. Can this be fixed further?

Question

Hi all, I had a cliteropexy and hood reduction. I retained all sensation and like result except I want the top part (where the clitoral folds begin) to be more narrow and tucked in, if that makes sense. In short, I want the top to be more of a tucked triangle point than a thicker/wider “base” of my clit. Is this possible to do?

Hi, your results look great.  To “tuck” the clit in further May be difficult based on the anatomy of your clit.  If it’s large and protruding, you don’t want to injury it in anyway.  What good is a pretty junk if it doesn’t work?! Reducing the skin on top of it is appropriate though.  You may be able to further reduce the skin, but it may still not tuck it in all the way like you are hoping.  Also with time, scar tissue around that area may reduce and naturally the clit area May tuck in further. I hope that helps.

There are may surgeons saying they do clitoropexy, but the technique varies considerably. Many state they do a clitoropexy but really don't. I invented the clitoropexy about twenty years ago and have made many modifications over time. I have a new variation that I included in the last few months that should give you the result you wish.
