Additional Skin Graft, Nose/Ears/Eyelids/Lips

Alaska rates for HCPCS 15261

An add-on service for placing more full-thickness skin, taken from the patient's own body, to cover additional area beyond the first section already grafted on the nose, ears, eyelids, or lips. It is provided for each extra section covered on these facial features, in addition to the main grafting procedure, and includes closing the donor site. It is used when a wound on these small, cosmetically sensitive areas is larger than a single standard graft can cover.
