Scar Revision Surgery (Medically Indicated): More Than Aesthetic
Scar revision may be required when scars restrict movement, cause pain, or result from trauma or surgery.
What It Costs
For medically indicated scar revision, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,000 – 4,000
• Anaesthetist: Not typically required
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage depends on indication:
• Functional or symptomatic scars may be covered
• Cosmetic-only revisions are usually excluded
Insurance Tip
Ensure functional impairment is clearly documented.
Conclusion
Not all scar surgery is cosmetic. Documentation determines coverage.
