what is Clitoral Hood Reduction?

The clitoris is protected by a layer of skin referred to as the prepuce. This skin is necessary to prevent chaffing, discomfort, and the area from becoming desensitized. However, sometimes the prepuce can be larger than normal and protrude further than you may want it to. This condition may be caused by genetics, trauma, or childbirth. Excess skin around your clitoris may not only be unattractive and make you feel embarrassed, but it can also produce discomfort and irritation when wearing certain clothing or performing certain activities, including sexual intercourse. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nana Mizuguchi is sensitive to these needs and uses absolute discretion when performing a clitoral hood reduction at Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery. This surgery is minimally invasive and can reduce the size of the clitoral hood by removing the excess skin and tissues that are causing it to protrude. If you are ready to restore your appearance, then please contact our Louisville, KY plastic surgery practice today.

how is CLITORAL HOOD REDUCTION performed?

A clitoral hood reduction in Louisville, KY is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that generally only requires local anesthesia. During the operation, our plastic surgeon will create small incisions in order to remove and reshape the existing skin and tissues, resulting in an overall uniform and proportional appearance. Once completed, he will place dissolvable sutures in the treated areas. This treatment typically lasts around one hour. Dr. Mizuguchi uses precise techniques that should not affect the nerve endings or surrounding areas, and will produce minimal scarring.

I cannot say enough about my incredible experience with Dr. Nana Mizuguchi! This is the second time he’s performed a breast augmentation for me, the first one was 16 years ago. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. On top of that, I recently underwent a drainless tummy tuck with Dr. Mizuguchi, and the outcome has been absolutely life-changing.After struggling with very visible scars and a lump on my stomach from previous surgeries, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, Dr. Mizuguchi gave me a beautifully flat and toned stomach. I never imagined he would be able to fix the lump I had from a colostomy bag, but he did. I never thought I’d feel this confident in my own skin again! The fact that the tummy tuck was drainless made the recovery process much easier and more comfortable than I ever anticipated. I was only off work for a week. As for my breast augmentation, this is the second time Dr. Mizuguchi has worked his magic, and once again, he delivered perfect results. He understood exactly what I was looking for and helped me achieve a look that’s both natural and balanced. His expertise, combined with his personalized approach, made me feel completely at ease throughout both of these surgeries.Dr. Mizuguchi’s attention to detail, compassionate care, and commitment to achieving the best results are truly exceptional. I am so grateful for the time he took to listen to my concerns and customize each procedure to fit my goals. His entire team is also fantastic—supportive, professional, and kind.I highly recommend Dr. Mizuguchi to anyone considering cosmetic surgery as well as aesthetic procedures. I decided to get lip injections during a follow up visit and they are amazing also

Decided on 485 cc's under the muscle. I just had my surgery yesterday and so far so good! - I'm 30 years old and I have two kids, I've wanted implants for a long time, after I breastfed my youngest who is now 5 years old, I became very deflated and hated my chest, I was a 36D. I met my surgeon Dr. Mitzuguchi about a month ago and had a virtual consultation where we decided I'd need a lift and I showed him my wish pictures, at my pre op appointment I was able to go in and try on different sizes of implants and we decided on 485 cc's under the muscle, I just had my surgery yesterday and so far so good! I'm very happy with my results so far, and dr. Mitzuguchi and his staff are amazing, very pleasant to work with and very tentative to their patients needs. I'm pretty sore today but it's nothing too bad, I'm on muscle relaxers and pain killers, and I have my first post op visit on Monday!!!

how long is recovery from CLITORAL HOOD REDUCTION?

After your clitoral hood reduction, you will feel some minor pain, swelling, and discomfort in the area. You may want to apply ice if necessary and take 3 – 4 days off from work and your normal activities. As the skin heals, you should begin to see your results over time, with a less prominent clitoral hood and more symmetrical, appealing genitalia. You should also feel more comfort during activities and when wearing tight clothing. Sometimes, this surgery can produce increased sensation in the area and more sexual pleasure.
