Bilateral Latissimus Dorsi (LD) Flap Breast Reconstruction: Symmetry Through Major Surgery

Bilateral LD flap reconstruction may be required following bilateral mastectomy or for symmetry in staged reconstruction.

For bilateral LD flap reconstruction, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 18,000 – 25,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 4,500 – 6,000

Coverage is usually favourable:
• Cancer-related bilateral reconstruction
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia benefits apply

Check whether bilateral reconstruction affects annual or lifetime surgical caps.

Symmetry after cancer surgery is part of recovery, not an optional extra.
