Deep Skin Defect Repair Using Dermofat or Fascia Graft: Structural Reconstruction
Deep skin defects require more than surface repair. Dermofat or fascia grafts provide volume and durability where tissue loss is significant.
What It Costs
For deep skin and subcutaneous tissue defect repair with dermofat/fascia graft, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 3,400 – 5,000
• Anaesthetist: Not applicable
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary reconstruction
• Trauma, cancer, or infection-related defects
Insurance Tip
Ensure the defect is described as deep and functional, not cosmetic.
Conclusion
Structural reconstruction restores integrity. Insurance should support definitive repair.
