Why Do We Perform Labiaplasty and Clitoral Hood Reduction Together?

There are many reasons women may opt for a labiaplasty and/or clitoral hood reduction. Some women are looking for that “barbie vagina” to feel confident in tight-fitting clothing and swimwear. Others may experience friction or rubbing while exercising that is uncomfortable and can cause irritation on the labia. For women with an overly large clitoral hood (the part of the labia that extends upwards to the clitoris), that all-important stimulation during sex can be difficult to achieve. That is why at ALVR we typically combine both procedures; two birds, one stone! 

Turning your outie vagina into an innie vagina is a pretty easy process, and one that helps many women live more confident lives. While we don’t condone or endorse body-shaming here at ALVR, we believe in helping women live their best lives by bringing their ideal bodies to life! The labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction procedures both serve to alleviate a variety of issues caused by a prominent labia and clitoral hood. The procedures are done using local anesthesia and we typically recommend taking a week to rest and recover. 

At your consultation, our team will work with you to determine the best course of action and what treatment plans are right for you. For example, some women opt for clitoral glans reduction as opposed to labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction. An enlarged clitoris can cause similar problems like those experienced by women with larger labia and clitoral hoods. 

Whatever your goals and needs are, ALVR is equipped to handle them! If you’re ready to chat with a team of compassionate and caring professionals, schedule your consultation today.
