English term or phrase: to the mildest of only "pricking"
In addition, many instances of female genital cutting are performed under unsanitary conditions while genital cosmetic surgery is about precision work in high-technology environments. But if we disregard context and only focus on what in the anatomy is removed, the modifications are indeed comparable. Female genital cutting covers everything from the most extensive procedures, such as infibulation, to the mildest of only "pricking" the genitals to draw a drop of blood.
