Exchange of Tissue Expander to Permanent Implant (Unilateral): Completing Reconstruction

Once expansion is complete, the expander is replaced with a permanent implant to finalise breast reconstruction.

What It Costs

For unilateral expander-to-implant exchange, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 4,500 – 7,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,500 – 2,200
Implant choice affects total cost.

What’s Typically Covered

Coverage is usually available:
• Classified as reconstructive completion
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia benefits apply

Insurance Tip

Confirm whether implant costs are capped or reimbursed at cost.

Conclusion

Completion surgery is not optional. It’s part of treatment.
