A delicate step in feminizing care
Clitoroplasty creates a sensate, natural-appearing clitoris as part of comprehensive gender-affirming surgery.
For many transfeminine patients, clitoroplasty is an essential component of vaginoplasty — or a meaningful standalone refinement. Using advanced nerve-sparing and microsurgical techniques, the sensitive glans tissue is reshaped into a proportionate clitoris that preserves tactile and erogenous sensation.
Every detail matters: size, position, hood coverage, and vascular supply are all carefully planned to achieve a natural, harmonious result. Our surgeons follow WPATH-aligned standards to ensure outcomes that are as functional as they are beautiful.
What clitoroplasty can mean for you
More than a surgical detail — a meaningful step toward wholeness, sensation, and self-recognition.
Preserved sensation
Advanced nerve-sparing techniques protect sensitivity, helping patients retain meaningful tactile and erogenous sensation.
Natural appearance
The reconstructed clitoris is proportionate, well-positioned, and aesthetically harmonious with surrounding anatomy.
Identity alignment
A deeply affirming step that brings the body into closer alignment with gender identity and self-image.
Intimate confidence
Patients often report renewed comfort, confidence, and satisfaction in intimate and personal settings.
Integrated with vaginoplasty
Clitoroplasty is often performed alongside vaginoplasty for comprehensive, cohesive feminizing results.
Reliable recovery
A predictable healing process with structured follow-up to support optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Clitoroplasty approaches
Your surgeon will recommend the approach best suited to your anatomy, goals, and any prior surgical history.
Glans-Flap Clitoroplasty
- Indications
- Patients undergoing vaginoplasty who want a sensate, visible clitoris created from preserved glans tissue.
- Advantages
- Utilizes the sensitive glans tissue to form a natural-looking clitoral glans with preserved nerve supply.
- Ideal candidates
- Patients prioritizing sensation and a natural external appearance as part of vaginoplasty.
Neurovascular Pedicle Clitoroplasty
- Indications
- Patients seeking the highest likelihood of preserved erogenous sensation and vascular viability.
- Advantages
- The clitoris is reconstructed on an intact neurovascular pedicle, optimizing blood flow and nerve continuity.
- Ideal candidates
- Patients for whom sensation preservation is the top priority.
Clitoral Hood Reconstruction
- Indications
- Patients who want the clitoris covered by a natural-looking hood for protection and aesthetics.
- Advantages
- Creates a protective hood from local tissue, improving the naturalness of the external genital architecture.
- Ideal candidates
- Patients desiring a complete, natural-appearing vulvar structure with clitoral coverage.
Standalone Refinement
- Indications
- Patients who have had prior vaginoplasty and want to refine clitoral size, position, or hood appearance.
- Advantages
- A focused revision that improves symmetry, proportion, or contour without repeating the full procedure.
- Ideal candidates
- Patients seeking improvement in the aesthetic or functional details of a prior reconstruction.
Comparing the approaches
A quick reference to help you understand the trade-offs between technique, candidacy, and expected sensation.
| Technique | Scars | Best candidate | Sensation potential |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glans-flap | Integrated | Vaginoplasty patients | High |
| Neurovascular | Integrated | Sensation priority | Very high |
| With hood | Integrated | Complete architecture | High |
| Standalone | Minimal | Revision desired | Variable |
What to expect at a glance
Your healing roadmap
A clear, week-by-week picture of what recovery looks like — so you always know what comes next.
- 1Week 1
Swelling management & rest
Swelling and mild discomfort are expected. Cold therapy, elevation, and prescribed medication help manage the early healing phase. A catheter may be in place if combined with vaginoplasty.
- 2Weeks 2–3
Return to light activity
Most patients resume light daily tasks. Walking is encouraged, but sitting for long periods and strenuous activity remain restricted.
- 3Weeks 4–6
Gradual return to routine
Desk work and gentle social activity are typically resumed. Any sutures have usually dissolved or been removed. Tenderness continues to fade.
- 4Months 2–3
Sensation assessment & final contour
Swelling resolves and the final shape becomes apparent. Sensation begins to normalize as nerve healing progresses over the coming months.
What your results will look like
Understanding healing, sensation, and long-term outcomes helps you set clear, realistic expectations.
Expected scars
When performed with vaginoplasty, scars are integrated into the overall reconstruction plan. Standalone refinements leave minimal, discreet scars.
Healing timeline
Initial swelling subsides within weeks, but nerve regeneration and final sensation can continue to improve for 6–12 months.
Sensation
Most patients retain meaningful sensation. Temporary numbness is common early on and typically improves as nerves heal.
Aesthetic integration
The clitoris is positioned and proportioned to harmonize with the labia, hood, and overall vulvar architecture.
Long-term results
Once healed, results are stable and permanent, providing lasting anatomical alignment and functional satisfaction.
Emotional relief
Patients consistently describe a profound sense of wholeness, alignment, and improved quality of life.
