A protruding hood and clitoris can cause an unsightly bulge in tight clothing or give the appearance of a small penis. Some women report irritation and discomfort due to the enlarged clitoral hood. Since many women are self-conscious of the enlargement, especially when standing, they may avoid sexual intimacy, preventing a full, healthy sex life. Dr. Alter has helped many women achieve the look and feel they want—with no reported changes to sensation.
Fortunately, there are many options available to reduce the clitoral hood.
The clitoropexy with hood reduction was invented bv Dr. Alter about 15 years ago to change the markedly enlarged hood into a more natural post-surgical appearance. He has performed this procedure over 300 times with excellent results. Since he has not yet published this technique, no other physician performs it in a similar manner.
The clitoropexy/clitoral hood reduction can be done alone or in combination with the Alter Central Wedge Labiaplasty.
Dr. Alter and the entire team are dedicated to providing every patient with exceptional individualized care—from consultation to recovery. We take the time to learn about your concerns, goals, and desires, so we can build a plan that addresses your concerns and gets you the
results you deserve.
