Dr. Nat Visaivate

Dr. Nat Visaivate (Thai: ณัฏฐ์ วิศาลเวทย์, also known by the nickname หมอนัท) is a woman doctor whose stated specialty is ophthalmology. Her working address is Masterpiece Hospital in Bangkok, a cosmetic surgery hospital, where the hospital's own profile page places her in the Eye Surgery Department (แผนกศัลยกรรมตา) as an attending physician. The only procedure area that page connects to her is eyelid surgery: she appears among the doctors named for the department's procedures, and the training certificates on her profile revolve around blepharoplasty.

Patients who compare surgeons by title should note two things. Our directory may file her under oculoplastic surgery as a browsing category, but the hospital describes her as an ophthalmologist, and the hospital's wording is the factual basis for this page. Second, the hospital profile is brief. It publishes her degrees, her board certificate, four Korean training certificates and her department. It does not state her languages, society memberships, start date at the hospital, graduation years, case numbers, prices or publications, so none of those appear here.

If you are thinking about eyelid surgery in Bangkok and wonder whether to see her, you can open a consultation request for Dr. Nat Visaivate. Our patient team passes your message and photographs to Masterpiece Hospital, and a person at the hospital confirms any appointment. Nothing is confirmed instantly by a website. Our approach to collecting and cross-checking facts can be read in the provider research methodology, which applies to every profile we publish, this one included. Facts for profiles like this one are gathered and checked.

Everything in this section is drawn from Dr. Nat's entry on masterpiecehospital.com (Thai and English versions), checked in late September 2026 and re-verified on 2 October 2026. The profile gives no graduation or training years, so this page gives none.

Medical degree. She holds a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) from Rangsit University in Thailand.

Master of Science in Ophthalmology. The profile lists a master's degree in ophthalmology (ปริญญาโท สาขาวิชาจักษุแพทย์) from Chulalongkorn University.

Ophthalmology board certificate. According to the hospital, she holds a วุฒิบัตร (Thai board certificate) in ophthalmology, numbered 25201/2556, and the Council acknowledges the specialty status. In Thailand this kind of certificate follows approved specialty training. For a patient it is the most informative line in the record, because it points to formal training in diseases and surgery of the eye and the structures around it, and the eyelids are among those structures.

Korean certificates of attendance. Four certificates are listed from an organisation abbreviated KCCS, Korea. The source does not spell the abbreviation out, and we have not guessed at it. The four courses are:

• advanced and revision blepharoplasty;
• a blepharoplasty live workshop;
• practical training for blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty;
• an international facial lipoplasty workshop.

The hospital presents them as certificates of attendance. Read generally, attendance at a course shows extra teaching in a technique. It does not amount to a fellowship or degree, and it does not tell you how many operations a surgeon has performed. We say this so you can interpret the entry accurately, not to play it down. Two of the four relate to revision eyelid surgery or watching live operations, which sits naturally alongside an eyelid-focused department.

Licence. The profile quotes Thai medical licence number 34847. The licence number and the certificate number are reported as the hospital states them; the licence can be looked up on the Medical Council of Thailand's public register at checkmd.tmc.or.th. We also found no ThPRS or ThSAPS member-list entry and no PubMed record under her name. Any patient can ask the hospital to show the licence document before surgery, or look up the register personally.

One role is documented: attending physician at Masterpiece Hospital, Bangkok, within the Eye Surgery Department. On that profile she is shown under the heading it uses for the doctors who carry out that department's procedures (แพทย์ประจำหัตถการ).

The gaps matter as much as the entry. We found no start date for the position, no earlier hospitals, no university appointment, no society membership and no published research. For that reason we have not drafted a career story and we state no number of years in practice. Experience is a fair thing to weigh when choosing an eyelid surgeon, so put these questions to the hospital in your consultation request: how long she has been operating at Masterpiece Hospital, how frequently eyelid cases like yours come to her, and whether she takes on revision cases.

Some background on the hospital itself, taken from its own about page and our facility record. The hospital traces its origins to Siam Square, where a clinic opened in 2013, before the move to a hospital building on Sukhothai Road. The hospital's own figures: fourteen beds, and seven operating rooms of which four are for anaesthesia cases and three for non-anaesthesia work. The accreditation entry we recorded comes from the American Accreditation Commission International (AACI), which shows an accredited status for the hospital, first certified in February 2023, and publishes no expiry date. More is on our Masterpiece Hospital page.

The documented procedure area is blepharoplasty. We connect Dr. Nat Visaivate with blepharoplasty because she is listed in the Eye Surgery Department and her certificates cover advanced and revision blepharoplasty and a blepharoplasty live workshop. Her profile does not name individual operations so we assign none to her. What follows is general information about eyelid surgery, intended to help you know what to raise with the patient team.

What blepharoplasty involves. In general, the operation removes or repositions extra eyelid skin, muscle and fat. On the upper lid it addresses hooding and, where heavy lids cut into the upper field of vision, can bring a functional gain as well as an aesthetic one. On the lower lid it reduces under-eye fat bags and loose skin, going either through the skin just under the lash line or via the inner surface of the lid (transconjunctival) that leaves no visible external scar. Creating or refining an eyelid crease is the subject of our double eyelid surgery page. Masterpiece Hospital lists double eyelid surgery among its services, but which surgeon in the department would treat you is for the hospital to decide when it reads your enquiry.

Why an ophthalmology background matters here. The eyelids sit where cosmetic surgery meets eye care. Dry eye, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease, earlier eye surgery and how completely the eyes close all influence safety and the result. Ophthalmologists are trained to assess these conditions. Patients with an eye disease, a strong spectacle prescription or earlier eyelid or eye surgery may reasonably want a surgeon with eye training involved. This is an observation about the specialty, not a statement about Dr. Nat's outcomes, for which we hold no data.

Revision blepharoplasty. One of her Korean certificates concerns advanced and revision blepharoplasty. Revision means operating again on lids that have already been treated, perhaps because a crease is uneven, the upper lid looks hollow, a scar shows or a lid sits in the wrong position. It is generally harder than a first operation because scar tissue alters the anatomy. If this is your situation, say so in your first message, send all records of the earlier surgery, and expect any surgeon to want swelling and scarring to settle fully before deciding whether to operate again.

Neighbouring problems that are different operations. A drooping lid margin is called ptosis and is corrected by working on the lifting muscle; see ptosis correction. Where a low or heavy brow is dragging the upper lid down, a brow lift may be discussed in place of, or together with, eyelid surgery. Masterpiece Hospital lists both ptosis surgery and brow lift among its services, but her profile names neither, so we cannot say she performs them. A thorough consultation should work out which of these problems you actually have.

The rest of her certificate list. She also holds attendance certificates for practical blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty training and an international facial lipoplasty workshop. The hospital profile does not name rhinoplasty or facial liposuction among her procedures, so we do not list them as hers.

The points below apply to eyelid surgery generally. Use them to prepare your questions for Dr. Nat Visaivate or whichever surgeon the hospital assigns.

Your aim. Decide what bothers you most: a tired look, hooding that covers the lashes, puffiness beneath the eyes, or heavy lids narrowing your vision. Each aim points to a different operation. Photographs of your eyes before they changed can show your natural shape better than how you look today.

Eye and general health. Expect questions on dry or watery eyes, glaucoma, contact lenses, thyroid disease, allergies, earlier eye or eyelid surgery, blood-thinning medicines, smoking and how you scar. These carry more weight for eyelids than for many other cosmetic operations. Because Dr. Nat is an ophthalmologist, it is sensible to ask whether an eye check, such as of the eye surface or visual field, forms part of the assessment, and whether it happens in person or from your records.

Technique and anaesthesia. In general, upper lid incisions follow the natural crease. Our blepharoplasty page notes that local anaesthesia with sedation is common, general anaesthesia is an alternative, and the operation takes about one to two hours, usually as a day case. Ask which option is advised for you and why, particularly if several procedures are combined.

Realistic results and scars. Ask what outcome is realistic for your skin and eyelid structure. Our site does not publish real patient results for any surgeon, and the images on our procedure pages are examples of typical changes, not individual patient results. If you are shown before-and-after photographs, ask whether they come from the surgeon you will see and whether the patient consented.

Risks. Our procedure page lists the general risks of eyelid surgery: dryness or irritation of the eyes, brief blurring, incomplete eyelid closure, uneven lids, noticeable scars, a lower lid that sags away from the eye, infection, and a rare bleed behind the eye that can damage sight. Whether eyelid surgery is suitable for you needs a personal assessment. Ask how the hospital deals with complications and which warning signs to watch for. Severe pain or a change in vision after surgery needs urgent help wherever you are.

If you want more than eyelid surgery. Ask who would perform each part. Masterpiece Hospital offers other operations through other departments, and Dr. Nat's profile names the eye department only.

Aftercare. Ask when stitches are removed, which drops or ointments are used, when you may fly, who to contact if something looks wrong after you return home, and whether a video review is available. These practical answers decide how safe a trip abroad for delicate surgery is.

Per its contact page, the hospital's street address is 99/19 Sukhothai Road, in Bangkok, in the Dusit district (postcode 10300), an older central-north part of the city; our Bangkok guide covers hotels, transport and how patients commonly arrange a stay. We hold no map coordinates for the hospital, so confirm the route and entrance with the hospital before you travel.

On the contact page, an enquiry form is offered, with an online consultation as one possible route. It also shows messaging contacts on four apps (WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE, Telegram) and individual numbers for patients from Cambodia, Indonesia and China. Our reading found no mention of an international patient desk, staff languages, airport transfers or help with accommodation, so do not assume any of these. If you need an interpreter, request one in your enquiry and ask for the answer in writing.

On timing, our blepharoplasty page advises allowing roughly 5 to 7 days in the country, around the time stitches typically come out, and that bruising mostly fades within one to two weeks. It also advises bringing sunglasses, avoiding swimming and eye make-up until cleared, and asking about eye drops for the flight. That is general guidance. Your surgeon's own schedule may be longer, especially for revision surgery or a combined operation, so leave slack before your flight home.

Finally, think about what happens once you are back home. Ask the hospital beforehand how it handles problems after you leave Thailand, who replies to messages, and whether a local eye doctor could remove stitches or review healing if necessary.

A full first message leads to a more useful first reply. For eyelid surgery in general, these items let a surgeon form an opinion from a distance:

• Clear photographs from the front and each side, in even light, with a neutral expression and eyes open and looking ahead. Add one with eyes gently closed and one looking upward, with no make-up and no glasses.
• An older photograph from before your lids changed, if you have one.
• The problem in your own words: heavy lids, a missing or uneven crease, puffy lower lids, one lid lower than the other, or an earlier operation you want revised.
• Eye health details: any known eye condition (thyroid eye disease, glaucoma, dry eye), the prescription for your glasses or lenses, and drops you use.
• General health details: medicines (especially blood thinners and aspirin), allergies, smoking, previous operations and any trouble with anaesthesia.
• Records of earlier eyelid or eye surgery: the name of the operation, date, country, surgeon if known, plus operation notes or photographs.
• Travel plans: preferred dates, how long you can stay and any language you need.

Your photographs and details are used only to prepare your consultation request. Do not send anything you are unwilling to share with the hospital's medical team.
