What is Hudoplasty (Clitoral Aesthetics)?

With the increasing awareness in the field of female genital aesthetics in recent years, interventions performed on more private and sensitive areas have also gained importance. Hudoplasty (clitoral hood aesthetics) is a surgical procedure performed in cases where there is excess skin tissue (hood) covering the clitoris. This operation, which yields significant results both functionally and aesthetically, is preferred to enhance sexual pleasure and provide visual satisfaction.

Why is Rhinoplasty Performed?

The hudoplasty procedure is performed particularly in the following situations:

· Excess skin covering the clitoris

· This fabric causing hygiene issues when folded

· Loss of sensation or difficulty achieving orgasm during sexual intercourse

· Aesthetically, the external genital area appears markedly asymmetrical or swollen

· The need to correct excess tissue remaining after labiaplasty

Dr Serpil Kırım does not view this operation merely as an aesthetic correction; she also analyses the patient's psychological and hormonal state, evaluating the procedure from a holistic medical perspective.

How is Hudoplasty Performed?

Hudoplasty is generally a surgical procedure performed under local anaesthesia, lasting approximately 30–45 minutes. Sedation or general anaesthesia may also be preferred in some patients.

Surgical Technique

· The excess skin tissue surrounding the clitoris is carefully removed.

· A symmetrical and natural appearance is achieved without damaging the nerve endings of the clitoris.

· Minimal suturing is applied using microsurgical techniques.

· The stitches are aesthetic and self-dissolving, requiring no removal.

Recovery Process

· It is generally possible to return to daily life within 3–5 days after the procedure.

· It is recommended to refrain from sexual intercourse and strenuous physical activity for an average of 4 weeks.

· The pain is usually mild and can be controlled with simple painkillers.

Who Can Have Hudoplasty?

The hudoplasty procedure can be performed on all women who have completed puberty and feel the need for the following:

· Those experiencing a decline in sexual function

· Those who feel aesthetic concerns about their genital area

· Those with complaints regarding symmetry or appearance after labiaplasty

· Those who frequently suffer from infections or have hygiene problems

Dr Serpil Kırım assesses the patient not only physically but also emotionally, hormonally and psychologically prior to the procedure, making supportive plans using functional medicine tools where necessary.

How is Hudoplasty Supported by a Holistic Medical Approach?

Hudoplasty surgery is not limited to removing excess tissue from the surface. With a holistic approach to medicine, the procedure is supported in the following ways:

· Hormone testing and tissue sensitivity analyses are performed.

· Supports that enhance skin quality (collagen, vitamin, amino acid support) are provided.

· Natural treatment methods that accelerate post-operative recovery are applied.

· Psychological counselling is integrated into the process to enhance body image and sexual confidence.

These approaches target not only physical appearance but also women's overall health.

Does Clitoral Hood Reduction Affect Sensitivity?

When performed using the correct technique and by an experienced surgeon, hoodoplasty does not damage the sensitivity of the clitoris. On the contrary, removing excess skin folds allows for more direct sexual stimulation and can facilitate the orgasm process.

Dr Serpil Kırım performs procedures on this highly sensitive area with great precision and shares all details with the patient before and after the procedure.
