Contralateral Mastopexy or Reduction After Breast Cancer Surgery: Restoring Balance
After breast-conserving cancer surgery, contralateral mastopexy or reduction may be required to restore symmetry.
What It Costs
For contralateral mastopexy/reduction following malignant breast surgery, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 5,200 – 8,300
• Anaesthetist: Not applicable
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage depends on documentation:
• Symmetry after cancer surgery may be covered
• Cosmetic classification may be challenged
Insurance Tip
Ensure the procedure is documented as post-oncology reconstructive symmetry, not cosmetic reshaping.
Conclusion
Symmetry is part of recovery. Insurance interpretation matters.
