​

Dr. Jeannette Ting is Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. She is a plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon with over two decades of clinical experience. After graduating with honours from the University of Western Australia with a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery, she pursued advanced surgical training, earning a Post Graduate Diploma in Surgical Anatomy and a Master of Surgery. Her thesis on "The Anatomical and Clinical Study of the Posterolateral Trunk in Reconstructive Surgery" demonstrated her early commitment to innovative surgical techniques. She obtained Fellowship by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in plastic and reconstructive surgery, followed by specialized post-fellowship training in congenital hand surgery at Birmingham Children's Hospital in the UK and hand surgery at Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong.

​

Specializing in complex reconstructive procedures, Dr. Ting has developed particular expertise in lymphoedema and flap reconstructions for breast, head and neck and other cancers. She is one of Hong Kong's few plastic surgeons with subspecialty training in hand surgery, and has extensive experience in burns and scar management through her work at the Burns unit in the Prince of Wales Hospital.

​

Dr. Ting has published widely on hand surgery and reconstructive techniques, and pioneered Hong Kong's first congenital upper limb anomaly database. Her current research focuses on lymphoedema, burns, and advanced wound management, with ongoing multicentre collaborations in Australia. She has also authored book chapters on reconstruction and hand surgery, sharing her expertise with the broader medical community.

​

In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Ting holds academic appointments as Adjunct Senior Lecturer at Monash University and serves as an instructor for both the Care of Critically Ill Surgical Patient (cCRISP) course at the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the Emergency Management of Severe Burns (EMSB) course at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
