Dr Christine’s basic medical degree was awarded by the University of Wales College of Medicine. She also holds a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Medical Biochemistry from the University of Wales College of Cardiff. She is a Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (UK), and is registered as a Specialist in Anaesthesiology by the Ministry of Health and Singapore Medical Council. She is a member of the Society of Aesthetic Medicine, Singapore as well as its Liposuction Interest Group.
She worked at the Singapore General Hospital prior to starting private practice in 2004. During this time, she performed clinical research in various Anaesthetic topics and has published extensively in various medical journals. She is currently a Director of Simply Aesthetic Pte Ltd and Cheng Anaesthesia Pte Ltd. She is an Anaesthetist in Private Practice, and with regular weekly sessions as a Visiting Consultant Anaesthetist to the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC).
Dr Christine’s interest in Aesthetic Medicine stems from a lifelong battle with obesity. Starting with dieting and exercise, she successfully reduced her weight and improved her health and fitness, but was still unable to get rid of stubborn fat and cellulite. Her career in Anaesthesia brought her into contact with Plastic Surgery both on a professional and personal level. Further exploration led her to training in Aesthetic Medicine and the establishment of Simply Aesthetic. She has been in the aesthetic field since 2006, with this now being her career path by choice and passion.
She believes that Aesthetic treatments are most effective and best-maintained when combined with positive lifestyle habits. She is able to advise regarding nutrition, exercise and weight-loss. With the vast range of aesthetic procedures and equipment now available, Dr Cheng’s stringent criteria for including any products or services into the clinic are based strictly on their safety and efficacy. She has tried most of the treatments herself and recommends them, without reservation, to her family and friends.
Dr Christine has lectured to four prominent Dermatology and Plastic Surgery Associations in the Philippines about “New Techniques in Mesotherapy” and “Meso-Alopecia”, and has trained with prominent Dermatologists, Plastic Surgeons and Aesthetic Doctors from around the world:
