Costal Cartilage Harvest and Ear Cartilage Framework Creation
Costal cartilage may be harvested to create ear frameworks in reconstructive surgery, often for congenital ear deformities.
What It Costs
MOH Fee Benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 10,400 – 15,200
• Anaesthetist fee: Not available
What’s Typically Covered

Insurance Tip
Ensure documentation states reconstructive necessity, not aesthetic enhancement.
Conclusion
Cartilage reconstruction restores anatomy. Insurance should recognise medical indication.
