Dr. Krissadee Napapong

Dr. Krissadee Napapong (Thai: นพ.กฤษฎี นภาพงษ์) is a male surgeon whose public profile sits on the website of Masterpiece Hospital, which stands in Bangkok's Dusit area. The hospital also calls him "Dr. Gun" (หมอกัณฑ์), a nickname that appears on his profile banner and on the English version of the page. The specialty given for him is surgery; the profile does not add a plastic surgery label.

Instead of one narrow title, the profile attaches him to four of the hospital's service departments: breast surgery, skin removal surgery, brow lift surgery and urology and men's health. Within the brow lift department he is listed under the heading for medical procedures specialists, and that is the only individual operation tied to his name. For that reason brow lift is the single procedure for which this site links his page. We do not say that he performs any other named operation, since the sources we read do not say so.

One point of spelling may help if you are searching for him. The heading on the hospital's English page reads "DR. Krissadee Napapong", yet the web address and page title of that same profile use the surname "Napapongsa". We follow the heading. Both spellings point to one and the same profile.

All of this comes from public sources and is background, not an endorsement and not a prediction of what any operation would do for you. If you would like to raise a procedure with him, the patient team handles first contact: use this request form and they will ask the hospital whether he has space. How we gather and check provider facts is set out on the provider research methodology page.

According to the hospital profile, Dr. Krissadee Napapong earned his Doctor of Medicine degree at Mahidol University, at its Ramathibodi Hospital faculty. That is the only degree the sources name.

For his surgical training, the Masterpiece profile uses the phrase government service doctor specialising in surgery, within a department of surgery, and leaves out the institution. A second source fills part of that gap. The surgical department of the Faculty of Medicine at Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, keeps a page of general surgery residents and alumni for the years 2008 to 2017 (B.E. 2551 to 2560), and his Thai name is listed there next to the year 2017 (B.E. 2560). The page does not explain whether that year is when a resident started or when one finished, so we give no year of training or graduation.

Items we looked for and did not find:

• a residency or fellowship in plastic surgery;
• certification by a plastic and reconstructive surgery board, or membership of Thailand's national plastic surgery society;
• training completed outside Thailand.

Not finding something in the sources is not proof that it does not exist, and equally it is not a claim that it does. Anyone for whom a particular qualification is decisive can request written confirmation from the hospital ahead of booking flights.

Licensing deserves a separate note. His hospital profile and banner display a medical practice licence number. The licence can be looked up on the Medical Council of Thailand's public register at checkmd.tmc.or.th, and our patient team can help you confirm it before you travel. You are free to search that register on your own, and our patient team can assist.

One working role is documented for him: attending surgeon at Masterpiece Hospital, where his profile covers the breast surgery, skin removal surgery and brow lift surgery departments and the urology and men's health department.

The hospital's own about page tells its history briefly. The hospital's account starts in 2013, when Masterpiece Clinic first opened its doors at Siam Square; the Sukhothai Road hospital followed later. The date Dr. Krissadee joined is not stated anywhere we looked, so we do not give years in practice, and the hospital publishes no count of operations by him either. Any number we offered would be a guess.

We also found no publications, awards, conference roles or society memberships under his name. Those areas are left empty on purpose, because filling them with plausible-sounding text would mislead you. If a surgeon's research record or professional affiliations influence your decision, put the question to him directly; a surgeon should be able to describe his own training and his own experience with the operation you have in mind.

### Brow lift in Bangkok with Dr. Krissadee Napapong

Brow lift is the operation that the hospital's profile ties to Dr. Krissadee, through its brow lift surgery department. On our own brow lift page, the procedure sits in the facial plastic surgery group and a typical stay in Thailand is given as 7 to 10 days. That page is still thin, so what follows is general background and not a full clinical guide.

Brow lift surgery (known by some as a forehead lift) changes the position of the eyebrows and the forehead skin above them. People commonly consider one when the brows sit low or feel heavy, when the outer end of a brow droops, or when forehead lines and a stern or tired look bother them. In general, a lowered brow can also crowd the upper eyelid, so some patients and surgeons talk about brow and eyelid surgery together. The advice you receive depends on your bone structure, your hairline and the change you want, which is why the face-to-face assessment counts for more than the procedure's name.

Questions worth taking to any brow lift consultation, including one with Dr. Krissadee:

• Which technique would suit my forehead and hairline, and where would the scars sit?
• Would a brow lift alone be enough, or would eyelid work or something else give a more natural look?
• How will the brows look once swelling has gone down, and roughly how long does that take?
• What are my particular risks, such as visible scarring, numbness, uneven brows or thinning hair along the incision line?
• What does the recovery plan involve, and when would I be cleared to travel?

In general, any operation on the forehead and brow area brings swelling and bruising whose extent and duration differ from person to person, so ask how the team manages the first days and what you should avoid while healing. The hospital's website also shows a service for brow bone reduction. Nothing we read links that service to Dr. Krissadee, so please do not assume he carries it out; ask.

### Breast surgery department

His profile names the breast surgery department but no particular breast operation. For that reason we do not list breast augmentation, breast lift or any other breast procedure as something he is documented to do. The hospital itself advertises breast augmentation among its body services, and our general pages on breast augmentation and breast lift explain the operations in broad terms. Whether he would be your surgeon for a specific breast operation is a question our patient team can pass to the hospital before you arrange any trip.

### Skin removal surgery department

This department also appears on his profile. In general, skin removal surgery deals with loose or surplus skin, for instance after major weight loss or pregnancy. Our pages on tummy tuck and arm lift give general background. Be aware that a hospital-level service is not the same as a procedure attributed to one surgeon, and his profile names none of these by name.

### Urology and men's health

The English version of his profile lists a urology and men's health department. The page gives no detail about which treatments that covers, and this site has no procedure pages for the area, so we cannot describe what is done. If a men's health matter is your reason for getting in touch, ask what the department treats and whether a visitor from abroad can be seen there.

A first consultation is a conversation about whether an operation is right for you; it is not a commitment to have surgery. His profile's one named procedure is brow lift, so the first part below deals with it, and the second part lists questions that fit any operation in his departments.

Brow lift

Patients typically begin by saying what they dislike: low brows, a weighty feel to the upper eyelids, forehead creases, or a face that seems tired or cross. Bring a photo of yourself from some years ago if you have one, because it shows where your brows used to sit. In general, the surgeon examines the forehead, hairline and brow position both at rest and when you move your face, then discusses whether other procedures should be combined or done separately. Ask where the incisions would lie in relation to your hairline and how much change is realistic for your own face as opposed to an idealised picture.

Questions that suit any procedure

• Which operations do you carry out most often, and which would you suggest for me?
• Will you do the operation yourself, and who will assist you?
• What type of anaesthetic is planned, who administers it, and in which theatre will the work be done?
• What are the risks and likely complications of this particular operation?
• If something needs correcting after I am back in my own country, who looks after me?
• What is the total charge and what is included? (Costs depend on the plan, so this page quotes none.)

Before you decide

Read any consent forms closely, give yourself time and do not feel pushed to fix a date in the room. A responsible surgeon will say so when an operation is not suitable for you, and whether you are suitable can only be judged after an examination. If you are thinking of more than one procedure on one trip, ask how the team approaches combining them and what would make them advise against it.

These are general suggestions for patients. We have not watched Dr. Krissadee hold a consultation and make no claim about how he runs them.

The following facility details come from the hospital's own website and from the public list of organisations accredited by AACI.

• Address: the hospital is at 99/19 Sukhothai Road in Dusit Subdistrict, Bangkok 10300. Our Bangkok page covers general trip planning in the city.
• Scale: the hospital presents itself as compact, with fourteen inpatient beds and seven theatres, divided four and three between operations needing anaesthesia and those that do not. The site combines a six-storey hospital block with a separate five-storey block of offices.
• Accreditation: the register kept by AACI (American Accreditation Commission International) carries Masterpiece Hospital under its hospital classification, with an initial certification date of February 2023. ISO certificates are listed too: 9001:2015 (initial date March 2023) and 7101:2023 (initial date March 2026). Validity dates were not shown on what we read, so request current certificates if this point matters to you.
• Contact routes: the contact page carries a free enquiry form that includes an online consultation choice, plus chat apps (WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE and Telegram). Separate lines exist for Cambodia, Indonesia and China.

Things we could not confirm: whether the hospital runs a dedicated international patient desk, and which languages its doctors speak. No spoken languages appear on his profile, which leaves us unable to tell whether a consultation would run in English. If language matters to you, ask beforehand whether he will speak with you himself or through an interpreter, and have the answer given in writing.

For general planning, our brow lift page puts a typical stay in Thailand at 7 to 10 days. Treat that only as a rough guide: the date you can fly is set by your surgeon, and the hospital can tell you what applies to your own case. More about the hospital is on the Masterpiece Hospital page.

Good material sent ahead makes a first appointment more useful, particularly an online one. For a brow lift enquiry we suggest the following.

• Photographs: clear, well-lit pictures of your face with a neutral expression, shot straight on and then in profile from both sides, and keep hair away from the face so the whole forehead and hairline can be seen. If you are comfortable doing so, add one with the brows relaxed and one with them lifted. Skip filters and heavy make-up.
• Older photos: one recent picture and one from several years back, if you want to show how your brows have shifted.
• Your aims: a few sentences on the features that trouble you and the difference you are hoping for. Reference pictures can help, though your outcome depends on your own anatomy.
• Health information: current medicines and supplements, allergies, any past surgery or injectable treatment in the face, and conditions that affect healing or anaesthesia, such as diabetes, clotting disorders or smoking.
• Hair and scalp: say if you have hair loss, a high or receding hairline or a previous hair transplant, since these can influence where incisions are possible.

If your enquiry is about breast, skin removal or men's health, send what the patient team asks for on that subject. That usually means recent photos of the area, height and weight, any big weight change, previous operations and your medical history. Share only what you are happy to share, and leave identity documents out of the first message.

The surgeon decides after examining you whether surgery is suitable. Nothing you send in advance can settle that.
