When it comes to intimate cosmetic procedures, experience and precision matter. Dr. Marco Pelosi III, a world-renowned pioneer in cosmetic gynecology with over 25 years of specialized expertise, has helped countless women achieve natural, aesthetically appropriate results through clitoral hood reduction. As co-founder of the International Society of Cosmetogynecology and developer of numerous innovative surgical techniques, Dr. Pelosi brings unparalleled skill and an approachable, patient-centered philosophy to every procedure at Pelosi Medical Center in Hudson County, NJ.
What Is Clitoral Hood Reduction?
The clitoral hood, also known as the prepuce, is a layer of loose skin that envelops and protects the clitoral shaft and head (glans) from constant friction. Sometimes redundant folds of loose skin develop alongside the lateral borders of the clitoris, unrelated to the body of the clitoris itself. This lax tissue may occur on either or both sides of the midline, may fuse with the labia minora, and can exceed the clitoral hood in size, causing aesthetic concerns or discomfort.
Clitoral hood reduction is a delicate procedure that focuses on these lateral folds of loose tissue. The glans clitoridis—the sensitive head of the clitoris—is not exposed during this surgery. Using meticulous superficial dissection and precise incisions that avoid the clitoral nerve pathways, Dr. Pelosi protects the sensitive nerves that supply sensation to this region, ensuring both safety and natural outcomes.
How Clitoral Hood Reduction Works
This procedure is typically performed in conjunction with labia minora reduction (labiaplasty) since both structures are intimately connected. Combined treatment of both areas yields superior cosmetic flow and more harmonious results than isolated treatment of either structure alone. The surgery is performed using the least invasive, most effective methods—a core principle at Pelosi Medical Center.
Dr. Pelosi’s approach preserves the natural nerve and blood supply from the pudendal nerves and vessels, which emerge from beneath the ischial tuberosities (commonly called the “sit bones”) and course along the muscles beneath the labia majora. Understanding this intricate anatomy allows for precise, nerve-sparing techniques that maintain full sensation while achieving your aesthetic goals.
