The surgery can be performed in an operating room or office-based surgical suite.
Local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia may be used depending on your case.
Dr. Diaz will carefully measure the excessive areas, remove the excess skin and tissue, and close the tissue using dissolvable stitches in multiple layers.

Clitoral Hood Reduction Recovery & Results: What to Expect
During your clitoral hood reduction recovery, it is normal to experience some bruising and swelling in the initial postoperative period. Minor discomfort can also occur, but it can be managed using medication. It is recommended to rest in bed on the day of the surgery, and most patients are able to return to work within three to five days, depending on the extent of the surgery and their activity level. To ensure proper healing, it is advisable to refrain from engaging in strenuous exercise and sexual intercourse for approximately one month. Additionally, it is important to avoid soaking tubs, hot tubs, saunas, waxing, and shaving until you have fully healed.
