Clitoroplasty

Clitoroplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at altering the appearance or function of the clitoris, often performed for medical, reconstructive, or gender-affirmation purposes. The procedure typically begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure the patient is comfortable and not experiencing pain. Once anesthetized, the surgeon makes precise incisions to access the clitoral tissue. Depending on the specific goals of the surgery, excess clitoral tissue may be reduced, or the clitoris may be reshaped to enhance aesthetics or functionality. For those undergoing the procedure as part of gender confirmation surgery, additional steps may be taken to align the appearance of the clitoris with the patient’s gender identity. Hemostasis is achieved throughout the procedure to minimize bleeding, and care is taken to preserve nerve function to maintain clitoral sensitivity.

Post-operatively, the surgical site is closed with sutures, and a sterile dressing is applied to protect the area during the initial stages of healing. Patients are typically monitored in a recovery area until the effects of anesthesia subside. Post-surgical care instructions are provided, including guidelines on hygiene, activity restrictions, and pain management. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the healing process and address any complications that may arise. Proper aftercare is crucial to ensure successful healing and optimal outcomes, with most patients able to gradually resume normal activities as healing progresses. The ultimate goal of clitoroplasty is to achieve the desired aesthetic and functional outcomes while preserving or enhancing the patient's quality of life.
