The clitoris is a highly sensitive part of the female genitals that impacts both the appearance and sexual pleasure of the vaginal area. The small protrusion is covered with the clitoral hood — tissue that is similar to the foreskin on the male penis in its embryological origin and anatomical function. In some cases, the clitoris can be hidden too far under the clitoral hood or be too pronounced — either too small or too large — affecting sexual pleasure and the genital appearance. Clitoroplasty is the surgical procedure that addresses these concerns directly, altering the size, shape, and appearance of the clitoris and clitoral hood to improve both form and function.

Dr. John Anastasatos performs clitoroplasty at his Beverly Hills practice with the specialized microsurgical training this nerve-rich anatomy requires. Dr. Anastasatos completed a Hand, Upper Extremity, and Microsurgery Fellowship at the University of Alabama at Birmingham — a dedicated fellowship covering microsurgical technique and the preservation of dense nerve anatomy at a level of detail directly relevant to clitoral surgery, where the subcutaneous nerve endings responsible for sensation must be preserved throughout the procedure. Board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), and named by The Luxe Insider as one of the Top 10 Plastic Surgeons in the World. Every clitoroplasty consultation is conducted in a private, discreet setting with the respect this sensitive subject requires.

Plastic Surgery for Clitoris Alterations

The formation of the clitoris can be impacted by genetics or factors that occur in utero. Some fetuses are exposed to higher than normal amounts of male hormones or androgens, which can impact the formation of the external genitalia. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is one medical condition that can affect this anatomy during fetal development, producing changes that can include clitoral enlargement. Other causes include acquired changes from increased testosterone exposure in adulthood — from athletic training at high levels, testosterone supplementation, or other hormonal factors.

Since the clitoris is a major contributor to sexual arousal and pleasure, as well as to the appearance of the genital region, if it seems too small or too large, it can meaningfully affect a woman’s sexual experience and confidence. Clitoroplasty is the type of plastic surgery that can alter the size and shape of the clitoris and the clitoral hood to improve form and function. Clitoroplasty can also be used as part of congenital adrenal hyperplasia treatment when the anatomical changes of CAH are the underlying cause. Dr. Anastasatos specializes in this intricate procedure, offering the following types of clitoroplasty:

Clitoroplasty can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other vaginal rejuvenation procedures — labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, or broader body contouring — when the patient’s concerns extend beyond the clitoral region alone.
