Cleft Narrowing Questions and Answers

Here is a quick guide to the Pudendal Cleft Narrowing cosmetic gynecology procedure.

What is the Pudendal Cleft?

The pudendal cleft, also known as the cleft of Venus, is the slit or opening between the labia majora (outer vaginal lips). It is typically visible when standing and may vary in appearance between individuals. Other terms for the pudendal cleft include the urogenital cleft or vulvar slit.

What Causes a Wide Pudendal Cleft?

The width of the pudendal cleft can differ significantly among women. In some cases, the cleft appears as a narrow slit with no visible protrusion of internal tissues. However, in other cases, the clitoral hood or labia minora may protrude through the cleft, creating a wider appearance. This widening can result from excess tissue in the clitoral hood or labia minora, thin or deflated labia majora, or a combination of these factors.

What is Cleft of Venus Narrowing?

Cleft of Venus narrowing is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the width of the pudendal cleft. The procedure addresses the appearance of a wide cleft by reducing the amount of protruding tissue or by enhancing the fullness of the labia majora. Some of the most common procedures used to achieve this include:

• Clitoral hood reduction
• Labia minora reduction
• Labial puff (to increase the fullness of the labia majora)
• Vaginal tightening

Purpose of Cleft of Venus Narrowing
