Capsulotomy or Capsulectomy (Breast Implant Complications): Treating Medical Implant Issues

Capsular contracture or implant complications may require surgical capsulotomy or capsulectomy to relieve pain or distortion.

For capsulotomy / capsulectomy, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 4,000 – 7,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,500 – 2,500

Coverage depends on cause:
• Medical complications often covered
• Cosmetic revision is usually excluded

Ensure complications are documented as painful, restrictive, or post-cancer related.

Implant complications are medical problems. Insurance classification is critical.
