When there is excess skin over the clitoris, the area can look out of proportion once the inner labia are reduced. That is why excess hood skin is often reduced in the same session, in line with the inner labia.
The procedure does not touch the clitoris itself; the structures that carry sensation are preserved.
| Labiaplasty | Filler or fat | |
|---|---|---|
| Concern | Excess, sagging or asymmetry of the inner labia. | Thinning and volume loss of the outer labia. |
| What is done | Excess tissue is removed and closed with fine stitches. | Filler or your own fat is placed with a fine cannula. |
| Permanence | Permanent. | Filler is gradually absorbed; fat that settles stays. |
| Recovery | The stitch line takes a few weeks to heal. | Shorter; with fat transfer the donor site also swells. |
| Scar | The stitch line lies within natural folds. | No scar apart from the cannula entry. |
| Combined? | Can be done in the same session where suitable. | Can be combined with labiaplasty where suitable. |
The comparison describes general features; your doctor decides the right path for you at the examination.
Your doctor marks the tissue to be removed together with you, removes the excess while preserving the edge and closes with fine stitches. Clitoral hood correction can be added in the same session if needed.
The type of anaesthesia is decided together at the examination. The female genital aesthetics page describes the steps across all procedures.

My combined procedure was planned in one session, and my companion was looked after too.
Before surgery they drew exactly where the scar would sit; there were no surprises later.
What to do during recovery was given to me in writing; I did not proceed by guesswork.
We set my flight date together around the surgery calendar; I did not need to come twice.
My privacy was respected from day one; for me that mattered as much as the result itself.
