TRAM Flap Breast Reconstruction (Pedicled): Using Abdominal Tissue for Natural Results

Pedicled TRAM flap reconstruction uses abdominal tissue to reconstruct the breast, offering a more natural contour without implants.

What It Costs

For unilateral pedicled TRAM flap reconstruction, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 15,000 – 22,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 3,500 – 5,000
Longer recovery and hospital stay are typical.

What’s Typically Covered

Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Cancer-related autologous reconstruction
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia

Insurance Tip

Ask whether abdominal wall complications are covered if they arise post-surgery.

Conclusion

Autologous reconstruction is major surgery. Insurance should reflect that level of care.
