Ask a Plastic Surgeon: Dr Evan Woo from Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital Singapore

I am Dr Evan Woo, a Plastic Surgeon at Evan Woo Breast & Plastic Surgery based in Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital. I specialise in breast surgery and reconstruction, postnatal rejuvenation and aesthetic surgery, lymphaedema surgery, and paediatric plastic surgery. I started with a broad-based training in plastic surgery, covering all aspects of reconstruction, wound and scar management, and aesthetic surgery. Because I believe that super-specialisation would provide a more nuanced understanding and therefore better outcomes for my patients, I furthered my training at The Nottingham Breast Institute on a Health Manpower Development Programme scholarship. There, I honed my skills in the advancing fronts of breast cancer surgery – microsurgical breast reconstruction and oncoplastic breast surgery. I am currently one of a handful of surgeons in Singapore able to offer both the full range of options in breast cancer removal (lumpectomy / breast conservation surgery / oncoplastic breast surgery), and the full gamut of reconstructive options after both breast removal or breast conservation surgery (including use of perforator flap-free tissue transfer). This ensures a truly integrated and comprehensive breast surgery practice. At the same time, I have extensive experience in breast enhancement (augmentation, lifts, reductions and rejuvenation) and body contouring (tummy tucks, liposuction and fat grafting). I also run a laser service for the management of pigmentation and skin rejuvenation. I am 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. I am also a tutor at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School where I hold the appointment of Adjunct Assistant Professor. I am the Founder and President of the Breast Reconstruction Awareness Singapore (BRAS), a non-profit society that aims to educate Singaporeans about breast reconstruction.
