Procedure of clitoroplasty

Talking with your doctor about the purpose and potential risks of clitoroplasty is the first step. Subsequently, your physician orders blood or imaging tests and does a physical examination to determine if you are a surgical candidate or not. Along with instructions on when to arrive at the hospital or surgical facility and when to stop eating or drinking, your surgeon will also provide you with some guidelines on the day of your procedure.

During a clitoroplasty

To make the treatment region completely numb while you remain awake, you could be given a local anaesthetic. Alternatively, you can be given general anaesthesia, which puts you to sleep.
During a clitoroplasty, extra clitoral tissue is removed and then reshaped to alter the size or appearance of the patient’s clitoris. Any cuts (incisions) are closed by the surgeon using stitches.
Conversely, when a clitoris needs to be created, doctors build it using the genital tissue that already exists. After a vaginoplasty, which entails removing the majority of the penis, feminine genitoplasty is usually performed. To create a vagina, your surgeon will restructure the outer skin, turning it “inside out,” and inject the tissue into your body. Using the same tissue, the surgeon forms the clitoris. When a person is born with congenital defects and is designated as female, a surgeon creates a clitoris using any genital tissue that is available. Sutures are used by the surgeon to close any incisions.
