The clitoris is an important organ in sexual pleasure and orgasm function in women. In some women, excess tissue on the labia minora, especially on the labia minora, reaches up to the clitoris.

What is Clitoral Hudoplasty (Clitoris Aesthetics)?

The clitoris is an important organ for sexual pleasure and orgasmic function in women.

It is even considered the most important organ of sexual pleasure. In some women, excess tissue, especially on the inner lips called ‘labium minus’, reaches up to the clitoris.

Genital aesthetic operations performed on the clitoris area are called clitoral hudoplasty (clitoral hoodoplasty).

It is also known by different names such as cliteropexy, clitoral hud resection, clitoral hudectomy.

Where is the clitoral Hud?

The clitoral hood is the name of the bump that covers the head and body parts of the clitoris. The head of the clitoris (glans clitoridis) is protected by a skin tissue, like the foreskin that covers the tip of a man’s penis. This skin is called the ‘prepysium’. The clitoral hud covers the prepysium and the area above it.

Excessive layers of skin on the prepuce can be both aesthetically disturbing and can negatively affect sexual arousal. For this reason, hudoplasty surgeries are performed both to correct the aesthetic appearance and to increase sexual stimulation.

It is important that Clitoris Aesthetics is performed together with Labiaplasty!

It is important that the hudoplasty operation is performed during labiaplasty surgeries. Otherwise, if no intervention is made to the clitoris mound after the inner lips are shortened, the protruding appearance in that area will become even more prominent and will cause great dissatisfaction for the patients. Therefore, clitoris area aesthetics should be added during labiaplasty.

Many physicians who perform labiaplasty do not have the same experience in the aesthetics of the clitoris area. Therefore, they hesitate to touch this area. However, shortening the labia minora without clitoral hudoplasty can lead to much worse results.

Does labiaplasty and clitoris surgery affect sexual pleasure?

No, no, no, no. There is never any loss of sensation when performed by experienced surgeons. In fact, getting rid of skin wrinkles and excesses on the clitoris mechanically increases the stimulation of the clitoris and facilitates orgasmic function. On the other hand, the woman’s increased body perception will positively affect her self-confidence and concentration in sexual intercourse.

Will there be a scar after surgery?

Almost all of the patients who are operated on with the correct surgical techniques do not have any scars. Clitoral hudoplasty is different from ‘clitoris aesthetics’.

What is clitoris aesthetics?

The clitoris is the main organ of sexual pleasure and orgasm in women. In some women it may be larger than normal. This is usually due to congenital adrenal hyperplasia (enlargement of the adrenal glands), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and the use of hormonal drugs containing androgen from outside. In this case, ‘clitoris aesthetics (cliteroplasty)’ surgeries are performed to reduce the clitoris and aesthetically correct it.

What is cliteromegaly?

Androgens used for doping purposes by women who do sports such as bodybuilding, athletics and weightlifting increase muscle mass and cause growth in the clitoris. Thus, the clitoris can become large and elongated, similar to a small child’s penis. This is a source of embarrassment, especially during sexual intercourse. The condition in which the clitoris is enlarged and larger than normal is known as ‘cliteromegaly’. Cliteromegaly can also occur structurally in some young girls.

Sometimes cliteromegaly may also occur as a result of overstimulation, itching or frequent masturbation. All aesthetic surgeries performed to reduce the clitoris are within the scope of clitoris aesthetics.

Clitoroplasty is more complicated and requires more experience than clitoral hudoplasty. When done well, it does not affect sexual pleasure.
