Patient has necrosis after a breast reduction. Patient is getting a breast reconstruction due to the necrosis. Should this be coded with a complication code or just the necrosis of the skin? This is not a cosmetics case (so I can give it a cosmetic code) Patient had a mastectomy on left breast and they did a reduction on the right breast, so now the patient has necrosis due the breast reduction. complication code or just necrosis of skin ? I am just necrosis, since this is something that can happen
