What Is Clitoroplasty?
Clitoroplasty: Clitoroplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces excess tissue around the clitoral hood while preserving the clitoris’ nerves, blood supply, and normal function. The procedure may be performed for cosmetic, functional, or reconstructive reasons.
Clitoroplasty is often combined with other female intimate procedures, such as labiaplasty, to improve both comfort and appearance. The primary goal is to achieve natural-looking results while maintaining sensitivity and function.
At Elegance Clinic, every procedure is customized to meet each patient’s unique anatomy and personal goals using modern surgical techniques.
