Excision of Single Facial Skin Lesion: Precision in a High-Visibility Area

Facial lesions often require careful excision to minimise scarring and preserve function, even when lesions are benign.

MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 500 – 1,300
• Anaesthetist: Not typically required

Coverage may apply when:
• Lesion is suspicious, bleeding, or symptomatic
• Cosmetic intent is excluded

Facial location alone does not guarantee coverage medical necessity must be explicit.

On the face, even small procedures demand surgical expertise and clear justification.
