Scar or Lesion Surgery with Implant Removal and Unilateral Capsulectomy: Advanced Implant Management
More complex breast implant complications may require capsulectomy in addition to implant removal and scar revision.
What It Costs
For implant removal with scar excision and ≥50% unilateral capsulectomy, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 5,000 – 7,600
• Anaesthetist: Not benchmarked separately
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medical implant complications
• Post-oncology reconstruction issues
Insurance Tip
Ensure capsulectomy is documented as medically indicated (pain, contracture, infection).
Conclusion
Implant-related surgery is often corrective not cosmetic.
