Large Area Scar Excision with Reconstruction: Function Over Appearance
Large scars can restrict movement or cause pain. Surgical excision with reconstruction restores function and comfort.
What It Costs
For large-area scar excision with reconstruction, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 4,500 – 8,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,500 – 2,300
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage depends on indication:
• Functional or symptomatic scars often covered
• Cosmetic-only scars usually excluded
Insurance Tip
Document functional limitation (movement, pain) clearly.
Conclusion
When scars impair life, surgery is medical not cosmetic.
