Swapping a Tissue Expander for a Permanent Implant

Wyoming rates for HCPCS 11970

Removes a temporary expander that has been stretching the skin and pocket over a period of months and puts a permanent implant in its place through the same incision. It is the second stage of a staged reconstruction, most often after breast surgery. The operation is usually shorter than the first stage and is often done as a day case.
