Asst. Prof. Ajchariya Sarovath

Asst. Prof. Ajchariya Sarovath, M.D. (ผศ.นพ. อัจฉริย สาโรวาท in Thai) is a Bangkok plastic surgeon who combines a university post with private hospital practice. His academic post is Assistant Professor in the Division of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery, Department of Surgery, at the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University. Three private hospitals in the city also list him as a surgeon: Bumrungrad International Hospital, Bangkok Hospital (Headquarters) and Phyathai 1 Hospital. The Bangkok Hospital and Phyathai websites show him as Dr. Ajchariya Sarovath, without the academic title, so you may meet both forms of his name.

The hospitals describe his field in their own words. Bumrungrad places him under Plastic Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery, with three special interests: hand and microsurgery, cosmetic breast surgery and breast reconstruction. Bangkok Hospital describes him as a plastic surgeon specialising in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Phyathai 1 lists him in its Aesthetic Center, with plastic and reconstructive surgery as his special expertise.

For cosmetic patients, the clearest record of what he does is the 'Treatments & Services' list on his Bangkok Hospital profile. Its cosmetic entries correspond to these pages on our site: - Breast augmentation, breast lift and breast reduction - Abdominoplasty and abdominal lipectomy, covered here under tummy tuck - Brachioplasty, better known as an arm lift - Upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty); the Thai-language version of the list adds double eyelid surgery and correction of under-eye bags and drooping lids - Otoplasty, which the hospital labels ear reconstruction surgery

The remainder of that list is reconstructive: facial paralysis reconstruction, reconstruction after lip cancer, repair after maxillofacial trauma and soft-tissue injury, head and neck cancer reconstruction, and burn and wound care using flap coverage and tissue expansion. If your question involves an old injury, scarring or changes after cancer treatment, say so when you write to us, so the hospital can arrange a suitable appointment.

To request a consultation with Asst. Prof. Ajchariya Sarovath, contact our patient team and name the hospital you prefer. We can ask for an in-person appointment in Bangkok, or first check whether a remote consultation is possible. Nothing is booked until the hospital offers a slot and our team confirms it with you.

Most of Asst. Prof. Ajchariya Sarovath's published training took place at Ramathibodi Hospital, the Mahidol University teaching hospital where he now holds his faculty post; one fellowship was completed in the United States. Bumrungrad and Bangkok Hospital publish the details below, and the Ramathibodi staff page lists both of his Medical Council specialist diplomas: - Doctor of Medicine (M.D.), 1993: Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University. - Diploma in Surgery, 1999: a specialist diploma (วุฒิบัตร) of the Medical Council of Thailand; Bangkok Hospital records the training at Ramathibodi Hospital. - Diploma of the Thai Board of Plastic Surgery, 2001: also a Medical Council of Thailand specialist diploma, with training at Ramathibodi Hospital. - Fellowship in Hand and Microsurgery, 2001–2002: Ramathibodi Hospital. - Fellowship in Hand and Microsurgery, 2007–2008: University of Mississippi Medical Center, United States. The Ramathibodi staff page calls it a Certificate of Clinical Fellowship in Hand and Microsurgery.

His Thai-language profiles give the same milestones in Buddhist-era years: 2536 for the degree, 2542 for the surgery diploma and 2544 for the plastic surgery diploma.

Read in order, the record shows board training in surgery first, with the plastic surgery board added two years later, followed by two separate periods of fellowship training in hand surgery and microsurgery. Microsurgery means operating on very small blood vessels and nerves under magnification.

None of the official profiles we read names a separate fellowship devoted to cosmetic surgery; his cosmetic procedures are documented through the hospitals' treatment lists. If training specific to the operation you want matters to you, it is a fair question to put to him at the consultation.

Each institution publishes his role separately. As shown on 27 September 2026: - Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University: Assistant Professor and faculty physician (อาจารย์แพทย์), Division of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery, Department of Surgery. Bumrungrad's profile also records his academic rank as Assistant Professor, Ramathibodi Hospital. - Bumrungrad International Hospital: plastic surgeon, Plastic (Cosmetic) Surgery Center, Building A, 16th floor. One outpatient session is published: Tuesday, 17:00–20:00. - Bangkok Hospital (Headquarters): plastic surgeon, Plastic Surgery and Reconstruction Center, with plastic surgery and surgery as his listed specialties. - Phyathai 1 Hospital: surgeon in the Aesthetic Center, with plastic and reconstructive surgery as his special expertise and 'Clinic Cosmetic' slots shown from 16:00 to 17:00.

No profile gives the year he joined any of these hospitals, a figure for years in practice or a count of operations. Timetables are revised often, so read the sessions above as a snapshot; our patient team rechecks them with the hospital for each request.

Society memberships. The Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand (ThPRS) includes him in its member list, giving the Plastic Surgery Unit at Ramathibodi Hospital as his address. The former online surgeon directory of the Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons of Thailand (ThSAPS) also carried an entry for him, naming Bumrungrad and Ramathibodi as his practice locations. That directory has since gone offline. The copies we could consult are archived captures from 2019 and 2020, and no current public ThSAPS list turned up, so his ThSAPS membership after 2020 is unconfirmed.

Published research. An author search on PubMed returns two papers under his name, both with a Ramathibodi affiliation: - A randomised, double-blind controlled trial of tranexamic acid injected under the skin together with epinephrine and lidocaine in upper blepharoplasty (*Aesthetic Plastic Surgery*, 2024). The record spells his first name 'Achariya'. - A study using high-depth targeted next-generation sequencing in vascular malformations (*Human Molecular Genetics*, 2026).

The 2024 trial concerns upper eyelid surgery, which is also on his Bangkok Hospital treatment list.

Every procedure in this section comes from his Bangkok Hospital Headquarters profile, in its English or Thai version; the breast items are also backed by the cosmetic breast surgery interest on his Bumrungrad profile. The notes under each heading are general information drawn from our procedure guides, not his personal protocol. The plan for you comes from his own examination.

Breast augmentation, lift and reduction. Bangkok Hospital groups these three together, and Bumrungrad names cosmetic breast surgery and breast reconstruction among his interests. In general they address different concerns: - Breast augmentation adds volume or improves shape and symmetry, using implants or, in some cases, the patient's own fat. His listings do not say which methods he uses, so raise it at the consultation. - A breast lift (mastopexy) takes away loose skin and reshapes the breast, raising the nipple and areola. - A breast reduction removes tissue and skin so the breast is smaller and lighter, lifting the nipple at the same time. Common reasons include neck, back or shoulder pain, grooves from bra straps and irritated skin under the breast.

An implant on its own adds volume but does not correct marked sagging; when the nipple has dropped to the level of the breast crease or lower, a lift is usually needed. Doing both together makes for a more involved operation, revisions are needed more often than after either procedure on its own, and the two can be done at once or in stages. Breast implants do not last a lifetime, and many people need another operation at some point to replace or remove them. The rare lymphoma BIA-ALCL has been linked mainly to textured implants, which is one reason to ask about implant surface. For overseas patients, our guides put the usual stay at 7–10 days after augmentation, rising to 10–14 days when a lift or reduction is involved.

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty and abdominal lipectomy). Both terms appear on his Bangkok Hospital list, and the Thai entry describes surgery to reshape the skin of the abdomen. In general, a tummy tuck takes away loose lower-abdominal skin and fat, and most full abdominoplasties also tighten abdominal muscles that have separated (diastasis recti), a common change after pregnancy. The navel is usually brought out in a new position. The operation reshapes rather than slims, so surgeons generally advise waiting until your weight has been steady for some months and you have finished having children. It is carried out under general anaesthesia, hospital stays are commonly 1–3 nights, and international patients usually allow 12–14 days in Thailand. Blood clots are a recognised risk, and among cosmetic operations the tummy tuck sits towards the higher end for clot risk, so ask how prevention is handled at the hospital where he would operate and for the flight home. Smokers face a much greater chance of wound-healing problems and need to stop well before the operation date.

Arm lift (brachioplasty). Brachioplasty appears on his Bangkok Hospital list, and the Thai wording describes removing excess skin and fat from the upper arm. Our arm lift page is not yet a full guide, so general guidance here stays brief. Any operation that removes skin leaves a scar, so ask him where the scar would run, how long it would be, and how your weight history shapes the plan. Our arm lift page gives 10–14 days in Thailand as the usual planning window; the date you fly is his decision after your check-up.

Eyelid surgery: upper, lower and double eyelid. His English listing reads 'Blepharoplasty (Upper & Lower Eyelidplasty)', and the Thai listing adds double eyelid surgery and correction of under-eye bags and drooping lids. These are distinct operations: - Upper eyelid surgery trims hooding skin, sometimes with a little fat, and may help when heavy lids narrow the top of your field of vision. - Lower eyelid surgery treats puffy under-eye fat, removing or repositioning it, and can tighten lower-lid skin. - Double eyelid surgery forms or refines a crease in the upper lid, either through an incision or with a suture technique; suture creases may not last as long.

A lid margin that itself sits low (ptosis) is a separate condition that needs surgery on the lid muscle instead, so have him check which problem you have. In general, surgeons ask about dry eye, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease and any change in vision before eyelid surgery, since each has a bearing on safety. Local anaesthesia with sedation is common for these operations. Stitches usually come out after about 5–7 days, and overseas patients generally plan their stay around that point. His 2024 co-authored trial, noted above, studied upper blepharoplasty.

Otoplasty. Bangkok Hospital lists 'Otoplasty (Ear reconstruction surgery)' for him. In general, otoplasty can bring prominent ears closer to the head, reshape the folds of the ear, make large earlobes smaller or even out differences between the two sides. Because his listing pairs otoplasty with ear reconstruction, tell us whether you want a cosmetic change in shape and position or the repair or rebuilding of an ear. Adults usually have otoplasty as a day case under local anaesthesia, while children usually have a general anaesthetic. The incision sits behind the ear; for several weeks afterwards many patients sleep in a soft headband, and a stay of around 5–7 days in Thailand is typical.

Reconstructive work without a guide on our site. His Bumrungrad profile names hand and microsurgery and breast reconstruction. His Bangkok Hospital list adds facial paralysis reconstruction, lip cancer reconstruction and lip cosmetic surgery, maxillofacial trauma and soft-tissue injury reconstruction, head and neck cancer reconstruction, and burn and wound care with flaps and tissue expansion. We do not have procedure guides for these. The 'lip cosmetic surgery' entry does not name a specific operation, so we have not matched it to one of our lip procedures. If any of these is your reason for contacting him, describe it in your request and include your medical records.

Not on his listings. Rhinoplasty, facelift, liposuction and gender-affirming surgery do not appear for him on any official source we checked. Bumrungrad offers those procedures through its Plastic (Cosmetic) Surgery Center and its Pride Clinic; see our Bumrungrad profile for the surgeons listed there.

At the first appointment he examines you, confirms whether the operation you have in mind suits your situation and explains how he would approach it. Because he is listed at four hospitals, the practical questions matter as much as the surgical ones.

Hospital and logistics - Which of his hospitals does he suggest for your operation, and why that one? Nursing, anaesthesia, length of stay, price and follow-up all depend on the hospital. - Who will give the anaesthetic, and does he plan local anaesthesia with sedation or a general anaesthetic? - If you need more care or extra nights after surgery, how is that arranged and charged? - Once you are home, who handles follow-up, and whom do you contact if something changes? - Can you receive the treatment plan and an itemised quote, stating what the price covers, in writing?

Breast surgery - Does your shape call for augmentation, a lift, a reduction or a combination? If an implant and a lift are combined, would he do both at once or in stages? - Which implant does he recommend (silicone or saline filling, round or anatomical shape, smooth or textured surface), through which incision and in which pocket, and why? - How might the operation affect future breastfeeding and nipple sensation? - What long-term monitoring does he suggest? The US FDA recommends periodic imaging of silicone implants to detect silent rupture, so ask how that can be done in your home country. - Will the hospital issue an implant card recording brand, size, type and lot numbers?

Tummy tuck or arm lift - Is your weight settled enough to operate now, and how would a future pregnancy change his advice about a tummy tuck? - Will the abdominal muscles be repaired, and will you have drains? - Where exactly will the scar lie, and how long will it be? - What clot prevention will you have in hospital and for a long flight?

Eyelid or ear surgery - Is the issue extra skin, fat bags, an absent crease or ptosis, and which operation matches it? When the brow has dropped, a brow lift is sometimes the better option. - For double eyelid surgery, would he use an incision or sutures, and how durable is each likely to be for your lids? - For otoplasty, which technique suits your ears, and for how many weeks does he advise wearing a headband at night?

Bring a complete list of your medicines and supplements and ask which to pause before surgery. Before you commit, verify his licence with the Medical Council of Thailand: its online search was not available to us when we checked, so this profile shows no licence number.

All four institutions where Asst. Prof. Ajchariya Sarovath is listed are in Bangkok. Services for overseas patients are run by each hospital, not by ThaiCosmeticSurgery.com, and are summarised below as the hospitals publish them.

Bumrungrad International Hospital, 33 Sukhumvit 3 (Soi Nana Nua), Watthana, documents the most for international patients: - Its Plastic (Cosmetic) Surgery Center occupies the 16th floor of Building A and is open 8.30–20.00 Monday to Friday and 8.00–17.00 at weekends. Doctor consultations there are by appointment only, and the centre offers tele-consultation with doctors. - A complimentary Medical Coordination Office for international patients, in Building A on the 10th floor, helps before you arrive (record review, price estimates, appointments, telemedicine), while you are in hospital, and once you leave (medical reports and documents confirming you are fit to fly). - The hospital lists a desk in the Suvarnabhumi Airport arrival area, a free airport shuttle van leaving hourly subject to passenger numbers, complimentary vans from the Nana and Phrom Phong BTS stations, and help arranging visa extensions for patients and companions. - Its factsheet counts over 130 interpreters, and the languages on its patient-services page include Arabic, Mandarin and Cantonese, Japanese, Russian and Vietnamese, with others on special request. - Accreditation, confirmed in each accreditor's own database on 27 September 2026: JCI (Hospital Program), HA Thailand Advanced Hospital Accreditation with validity to 22 May 2029, and Global Healthcare Accreditation.

Bangkok Hospital (Headquarters) has an international patient desk, and he is listed at its Plastic Surgery and Reconstruction Center. Our facility profile does not yet show its accreditation, because we record accreditation only after confirming it with the accreditor.

Phyathai 1 Hospital is a private hospital in Ratchathewi belonging to the Phyathai group, and he is listed in its Aesthetic Center. Its international patient services are not yet documented on our profile; our team can find out what support it offers overseas visitors.

Ramathibodi Hospital, on Rama VI Road in Ratchathewi, belongs to the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University. Its Division of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery lists cosmetic surgery among its services alongside reconstructive surgery.

Planning your stay. Our procedure guides give these usual lengths of stay in Thailand for international patients: - Eyelid surgery or otoplasty: about 5–7 days - Breast augmentation: 7–10 days - Breast lift, breast reduction or arm lift: 10–14 days - Tummy tuck: 12–14 days

Combined procedures need longer. These are general figures: Asst. Prof. Ajchariya clears you to fly only after checking your healing, so a changeable return ticket is sensible. After a tummy tuck especially, discuss clot prevention for the journey home.

Languages. Thai and English are listed on his Bumrungrad profile.

A clear, well-organised request helps the hospital decide which appointment to offer and whether anything is needed before you fly. Please keep medical information to the request form or our WhatsApp line rather than other channels.

With every request - What you would like to change or treat, described simply - Your preferred hospital among the four, or that any will do - Travel dates, and whether you want to see him in person or would like us to ask about a remote consultation first - Medical conditions, past operations, current medicines and allergies - Whether you smoke - Operation notes or reports from any previous surgery on the area you want treated - The questions you plan to ask him

Breast augmentation, lift or reduction - What you are hoping for: more volume, more lift, a smaller and lighter breast, or a mix - For a reduction, which symptoms bother you, such as neck, back or shoulder pain or bra-strap grooves - Plans for future pregnancy and breastfeeding - For existing implants, the implant card (brand, size, type, lot numbers) and the operation report

Tummy tuck or arm lift - Whether your weight has been steady recently - For a tummy tuck, previous pregnancies and whether you plan more - Scars from earlier abdominal surgery, such as a caesarean section

Eyelid surgery - Any diagnosed eye problem (dry eye, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease) and any recent change in vision - Whether you wear glasses or contact lenses - For double eyelid surgery, any previous suture or incision procedure on your lids

Otoplasty - Which ear or ears, and what you would like changed - For a child, their age - Any earlier ear surgery or injury

Reconstructive concerns - Operation notes, discharge summaries and cancer treatment summaries relating to the area

Photos. Wait until his team requests them. When they do, well-lit photos against a plain background help most, and eyelid photos should be taken without make-up.
