Revision Surgery for Failed Reconstruction: When One Operation Isn’t Enough
Reconstructive surgery may require revision due to graft failure, scarring, or functional limitation. These are corrective, not cosmetic, procedures.
What It Costs
For revision reconstructive surgery, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 3,500 – 7,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,500 – 2,500
Complex revisions may cost more.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage may be scrutinised:
• Medical necessity must be documented
• Pre-authorisation usually required
Insurance Tip
Reference the original covered surgery when requesting approval for revision.
Conclusion
Revision surgery completes treatment. Insurance should not treat it as optional.
