Tissue Expander Insertion for Skin Defects (Non-Breast): Preparing for Staged Reconstruction

Tissue expanders may be inserted to prepare skin for later reconstruction following trauma, burns, or tumour excision.

MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 3,500 – 6,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,500 – 2,200

Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary staged reconstruction
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia

Reference the planned second-stage reconstruction in pre-authorisation.

Expansion is a means to an end. Insurance should recognise the full plan.
