Who is a Good Candidate for Labia Majoraplasty?
A candidate for Clitoral Hood Lifting is one who:
Pregnancy
Childbirth
Aging
Weight loss
Anatomical reasons (young women who have not been through any of the above conditions)
How is the Procedure Performed?
Dr Maria performs clitoral hood lifting under general anesthesia which takes an average of 30 minutes. The reason why she doesn’t use a local anesthesia is because of the patient’s comfort, and with general anesthesia, the cosmetic results are better and more accurate due to minimal swelling of the target area.
Usually, clitoral hood lifting will be combined with labia minoraplasty (labiaplasty) for the best aesthetic outcome.
Dr Maria is using Radiofrequency – a cutting-edge technology – in all her surgeries. With radiofrequency, which is the least invasive surgical tool, you can achieve the best and most detailed cosmetic results.
Pre-Op Instructions
Clitoral hood reduction is a surgical procedure, therefore, patients need to prepare for it beforehand. Keep the following instructions in mind before undergoing the procedure:
Avoid taking any blood-thinning medication for 2 weeks before the procedure.
Try to avoid smoking before and after the surgery.
Do not drink any alcohol a day before the surgery.
Recovery After Clitoral Hood Lifting
After the surgery, Dr Maria will ask you to stay at home and ice the target area for 3 days. One week later, you will be able to resume your daily routine, however, you shouldn’t have intercourse, go swimming, and engage in strenuous exercise for 6 weeks.
No. There are no sensitivity problems after the surgery. Actually, the exact opposite happens since the excessive skin that was present before the procedure had reduced the sensitivity. So by lifting/reducing this skin, you experience heightened sensation in this area.
