Placing a Tissue Expander Outside the Breast

Alabama rates for HCPCS 11960

Inserts a silicone balloon under the skin somewhere other than the breast and then gradually fills it with fluid over weeks, so the skin above stretches and grows new tissue. The extra skin created is later used to cover a defect, replace scarred or burned skin, or rebuild an area. The repeated filling visits are part of this service.
