The Intervention
Clitoroplasty is usually performed under general or local anesthesia and involves several steps:

- Incision: Depending on your individual needs and the desired result, precise incisions are made around the clitoris and its surrounding structures.
- Shaping and Correction: The clitoris and its surrounding structures are reshaped, excess tissue is removed, or, if necessary, tissue is grafted to achieve the desired result.
- Suturing: The incisions are closed with fine sutures to promote healing and minimize visible scarring.
