The Surgeon

A rare convergence of medicine, dentistry & artistry

Dr. Janet Ngai Man Hung serves the Singapore community as a consultant plastic surgeon recognised for her empathetic, patient-first philosophy. With dual qualifications in medicine and dentistry — a combination that is exceptionally rare — she brings a holistic perspective to every procedure, understanding the face and body with a depth that few can match.

Educated at Imperial College London and McGill University, and trained across Singapore's leading institutions including the National University Hospital, Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, Alexandra Hospital, and Singapore General Hospital, Dr. Hung's career has been defined by an unwavering commitment to both technical excellence and genuine human connection.

Whether performing complex reconstructive procedures or delicate aesthetic enhancements, her approach remains constant: every patient deserves to be heard, understood, and cared for with the utmost skill and compassion. Her dedication extends far beyond Singapore — from cleft surgeries in Cambodia to dental missions with Mercy Ships in Sierra Leone and most recently Madagascar.
