CLITORAL HOOD REDUCTION IN HOUSTON & WEBSTER, TX
Women who seek genital enhancement to improve their sexual experience and to be more confident in their femininity often chose to undergo a clitoral hood reduction.
The clitoris is an erectile tissue that projects in the vulva and is covered by a hood homologous to the male foreskin. This hood can become enlarged and stick out, making women feel uncomfortable. Clitoral hood reduction is a procedure that surgically removes excess tissue to enhance the hood covering the clitoris.
At Memorial Plastic Surgery, our plastic surgeons Dr. Patrick Hsu, Dr. Kendall Roehl, and Dr. Vasileios Vasilakis offer vaginal rejuvenation procedures such as the clitoral hood reduction to women in Houston and Clear Lake, Webster, as well as surrounding cities including Friendswood, Alvin, and Pearland.
When is a Clitoral Hood Reduction Necessary?
Due to the excess tissues that cover the clitoris, it can be difficult for some women to effectively achieve an orgasm. It is recommended that women who experience such difficulties seek female genital cosmetic surgery. This procedure leaves women with a number of benefits that include:
- Increased sexual pleasure and satisfaction

How is it Performed?
