Mid-Face Reconstruction

Colorado rates for HCPCS 21146

This service surgically repositions the bones of the mid-face - the area around the upper jaw and cheekbones - through a planned, non-emergency operation that realigns the bone structure and secures it in place. It is used for a more extensive repositioning than the most basic version of this same procedure, and is a planned reconstructive procedure rather than treatment for a new injury.
