Four things that are true of every visit
Care by an OB/GYN
Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.
30 years caring for women
Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every Clitoral Hood Reduction plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.
Written plan first
Every Clitoral Hood Reduction patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.
Conservative, considered
Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.
Treatment Details
Every fact about your first visit, in plain language.
Most first-time patients arrive with the same set of unspoken questions. They are answered below in the order most people think them — from "how much will I need" to "what if I'm pregnant."

01Clitoral Hood Reduction 101
The procedure itself.
Clitoral hood reduction is a surgical procedure that removes excess tissue from the clitoral hood (prepuce) for functional or aesthetic reasons. It is commonly combined with labiaplasty in patients who have both concerns.
How long it's been around
The procedure has been described in cosmetic gynaecology literature for several decades and is most often performed in combination with labiaplasty rather than as a standalone procedure.
What we treat with it
Excess clitoral hood tissue that protrudes or appears bulky after labiaplasty, hooding that interferes with sexual stimulation, or asymmetry. Patient-led indication: there is no medical "normal" hood size that the procedure restores.
The honest version
Why clitoral hood reduction sometimes disappoints.
Clitoral hood reduction disappoints when too much tissue is removed, when isolated reduction creates labial-hood asymmetry, or when the patient's underlying concern was about sensation rather than appearance.
The clitoral hood protects the clitoris itself. Aggressive reduction exposes the glans clitoris more than the patient may have intended — producing increased sensitivity that some find uncomfortable rather than enhancing. Conservative reduction with the option to refine later is the safer approach.
The other common pattern is patients who are told they need clitoral hood reduction during a labiaplasty consultation when in fact their underlying concern is something a hood reduction won't address. Sensation issues, for example, are rarely a hood-size problem. Diagnosis should drive procedure choice, not the other way around.
At Oshun, we don't run that model. Clitoral Hood Reduction here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.
02Medical Leadership
The same physician, from first question to final follow-up.
Every clitoral hood reduction at Oshun is performed by Dr. Rockhead personally. The combination of OB/GYN anatomic familiarity and cosmetic surgical precision matters most in this small, sensation-critical area — where over-reduction is genuinely irreversible.

Dr. Charles Rockhead
Medical Director · Board-Certified OB/GYN · 30+ years of practice
Dr. Charles Rockhead is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with more than thirty years of practice in Kingston. He is the Medical Director of Oshun Cosmetic Services and the founding physician of Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice.
A Clitoral Hood Reduction visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.
i.
Consultation
Before any Clitoral Hood Reduction is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.
ii.
Preparation
Stop blood thinners 7–10 days before where medically safe. Avoid shaving or waxing the area for 1 week prior.
iii.
The clitoral hood reduction procedure
Under local anaesthesia, Dr. Rockhead removes a conservative amount of excess hood tissue, preserving the protective function and sensation. Closure is with fine absorbable sutures. When combined with labiaplasty, both procedures are performed in the same session.
iv.
Recovery & follow-up
Ice packs for the first 48 hours. Loose cotton underwear only. Use prescribed analgesics and antiseptic regimen. Avoid sexual activity for 4–6 weeks. Wound check at 1 week, suture/healing review at 2 weeks, final outcome at 3 months.
How much you'll need
Clitoral hood reduction is a single surgical session, often performed at the same time as labiaplasty. The amount of tissue removed is conservative; preservation of clitoral sensation is the priority.
Will it hurt?
Performed under local anaesthesia with optional sedation for most cases, or general anaesthesia when combined with larger procedures.
How long the visit takes
Plan for about 30–60 minutes for the procedure itself when standalone; longer when combined with labiaplasty.
Time off after
Plan for 3–5 days off work. Avoid sexual activity, tampons, swimming, and strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks.
04Results & aftercare
Recovery and follow-up.
Initial shape visible immediately. Swelling settles over 4–6 weeks; final result at 3 months.
The days before your visit
Stop blood thinners 7–10 days before where medically safe. Avoid shaving or waxing the area for 1 week prior.
Right after your visit
Ice packs for the first 48 hours. Loose cotton underwear only. Use prescribed analgesics and antiseptic regimen. Avoid sexual activity for 4–6 weeks.
Two-week follow-up
Wound check at 1 week, suture/healing review at 2 weeks, final outcome at 3 months.
05Is Clitoral Hood Reduction right for you
Who gets the most out of Clitoral Hood Reduction at Oshun.
Who should not have Clitoral Hood Reduction
Active genital infection, bleeding disorders, uncontrolled diabetes, pregnancy, body dysmorphic disorder without psychiatric clearance, prior surgery in the area, and unrealistic expectations regarding sensation outcomes.
Clitoral Hood Reduction isn't a one-size category — the right approach depends on your specific situation. Below are common patient profiles we see. If one sounds like you, an in-person consultation at 9 Devon Road is the next step.
With labiaplasty
Combined with labiaplasty for full cosmetic balance
By far the most common indication: patients having labiaplasty whose hood appears bulky relative to the new labial contour after reduction. Same-session combined procedure is the typical plan.
Asymmetry
Marked hood asymmetry
Visible left-right asymmetry of the clitoral hood can be addressed with conservative reduction on the larger side.
Standalone reduction
Hood concern without labial concern
Less common but valid: patients whose labia minora are within their preference but whose hood feels protruding. Standalone reduction is performed.
Post-childbirth
Hood changes after vaginal delivery
Some women notice hood prominence after childbirth that bothers them aesthetically. Reduction can be combined with perineoplasty if needed.

The honest answers
Nine questions every nervous first-timer asks.
Open any of them. We've written each answer the way Dr. Rockhead would actually say it — not the way a brochure would.
Will clitoral hood reduction affect sexual sensation?
Conservative reduction preserves sensation and may actually improve stimulation for patients whose excess hood was muffling sensation. Aggressive over-reduction can cause increased sensitivity that becomes uncomfortable. Dr. Rockhead's approach is conservative.
Is clitoral hood reduction usually done with labiaplasty?
Yes — the most common indication is during a labiaplasty consultation when the hood appears bulky relative to the planned new labial contour. Same-session combined procedure is standard.
How long is recovery after clitoral hood reduction?
Plan for 3–5 days off work and 4–6 weeks before sexual activity. Initial shape visible immediately; final result at 3 months.
Will I have visible scarring?
Scars are placed within the natural tissue folds and usually heal to nearly invisible marks. The hood anatomy hides the closure line well.
Can the procedure be reversed if I'm not happy?
Tissue removal is permanent and cannot be reversed. This is one of the reasons Dr. Rockhead's approach is conservative — refining at a second visit is much safer than over-reducing in one stage.
Is clitoral hood reduction painful?
The procedure itself is painless under local anaesthetic. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and easily managed with prescribed analgesics.
What are the risks of clitoral hood reduction?
Risks include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, over-reduction with increased sensitivity, scar discomfort, and rarely altered sensation. Dr. Rockhead reviews the full list at consultation.
Is clitoral hood reduction covered by insurance?
No — it is cosmetic and not covered. Itemised receipts are provided.
How do I book a clitoral hood reduction consultation?
Booking is a two-step process: a private consultation first to discuss anatomy and goals, then surgery scheduling. WhatsApp (876) 676-6297 or schedule a consultation from this page.
