Bilateral Latissimus Dorsi (LD) Flap Breast Reconstruction: Symmetry Through Major Surgery
Bilateral LD flap reconstruction may be required following bilateral mastectomy or for symmetry in staged reconstruction.
What It Costs
For bilateral LD flap reconstruction, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 18,000 – 25,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 4,500 – 6,000
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually favourable:
• Cancer-related bilateral reconstruction
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia benefits apply
Insurance Tip
Check whether bilateral reconstruction affects annual or lifetime surgical caps.
Conclusion
Symmetry after cancer surgery is part of recovery, not an optional extra.
