Evan Woo

Biography

 Dr Evan Woo is a Plastic Surgeon accredited by the Ministry of Health, who is noted for his specialisation in breast cancer surgery and reconstruction. Dr Woo started with a broad-based training in plastic surgery, covering all aspects of reconstruction, wound and scar management, and aesthetic surgery. Staying true to his belief that super-specialisation would provide a more nuanced understanding and therefore better outcomes for his patients, he furthered his training at The Nottingham Breast Institute on a Health Manpower Development Programme scholarship. There, he honed his skills in the advancing fronts of breast cancer surgery – microsurgical breast reconstruction and oncoplastic breast surgery.

Research Interest

 He also runs a laser service that initially served to augment his surgical practice by optimising the management of scars, but he has since extended the use of lasers to the management of pigmentation and skin rejuvenation. He has been engaged as a key opinion leader by several notable laser manufacturers. He is concurrently a consultant plastic surgeon and a consultant breast surgeon at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Singapore’s premier hospital for women and children. He is also a tutor at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School where he holds the appointment of Adjunct Assistant Professor. Dr Woo is the Founder and President of the Breast Reconstruction Awareness Singapore (BRAS), a non-profit society that aims to educate Singaporeans about breast reconstruction.
