In the world of cosmetic gynecology, two common yet often misunderstood procedures are clitoral hood reduction and labiaplasty. While both are designed to enhance the appearance and comfort of the vaginal area, they serve different purposes.
Dr. Kanchi Khurana, a leading expert in intimate wellness, breaks down the key differences between the two, helping women make informed, confident decisions.
What Is Clitoral Hood Reduction?
Clitoral hood reduction, or hoodectomy, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin around the clitoris. This improves:
- Sexual sensitivity
- Aesthetic appearance
- Comfort during intercourse or exercise
It is typically a quick, outpatient procedure with minimal downtime when done by a skilled specialist like Dr. Kanchi Khurana.
What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty focuses on reshaping or reducing the labia minora (inner vaginal lips), and sometimes the labia majora. Reasons for undergoing labiaplasty include:
- Discomfort during physical activities
- Irritation from tight clothing
- Improved symmetry and appearance
It is one of the most commonly performed intimate surgeries and can also be combined with clitoral hood reduction if needed.
Key Differences Between the Two Procedures
| Feature | Clitoral Hood Reduction | Labiaplasty |
|---|---|---|
| Target Area | Clitoral hood (skin above clitoris) | Labia minora/majora (vaginal lips) |
| Purpose | Enhance sensitivity, reduce skin folds | Reduce size, reshape for aesthetics |
| Primary Concern | Sexual pleasure, appearance | Discomfort, appearance, hygiene |
| Procedure Time | 30–60 minutes | 45–90 minutes |
| Recovery | 1–2 weeks | 2–4 weeks |
