Dr. Nattawut Vivatjanasirin

Dr. Nattawut Vivatjanasirin (Thai: ณัฐวุฒิ วิวัจนสิรินทร์) is a male facial plastic surgeon who practises in Bangkok. On the Masterpiece Hospital site his main specialty reads facial plastic surgery, set within otolaryngology, the ENT field (Thai: สาขา โสต ศอ นาสิกวิทยา), with that specialty status described as recognised by the Medical Council of Thailand. Patients in Thailand also know him by a nickname, Dr. Norn (หมอหนอน). This page is our own summary of what the hospitals publish about him. He did not write it, and neither hospital has endorsed it.

Two Bangkok facilities name him on their official sites. Masterpiece Hospital is a cosmetic surgery hospital in the Dusit area, and it lists him as the attending physician for three of its departments: nose surgery, facelift and brow lift, and forehead surgery with hairline advancement. DCH Hospital, the name used for the Dr.CHEN Surgery Hospital International Center, presents him as a specialist surgeon in its Dr.CHEN medical team, and its page for him names nose surgery, facelift, endoscopic brow lift and forehead surgery.

What stands out in the public record is how much of it concerns the upper half of the face. The areas Masterpiece lists under his expertise are:

• facelift and brow lift
• forehead reduction and hairline lowering
• frontal sinus setback surgery and brow bone contouring
• temple augmentation

The same profile adds that he joins the nose surgery team and the endoscopic facelift team. Put plainly, a person whose main questions are about a tall forehead, a low or heavy brow, an ageing lower face or the shape of the nose can ask our patient team whether a consultation with him fits their goals.

To begin, request a consultation with Dr. Nattawut Vivatjanasirin. Our team checks each request with the surgeon or hospital, so a request is never an instant booking. How we gather and test the facts on a page like this is explained in our provider research methodology, which is worth reading for the detail behind each statement.

His hospital profiles support two qualifications, and we report no more than that.

• Medical degree: Doctor of Medicine with honours, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. No graduation year is printed.
• Specialty: otolaryngology (ENT). The Masterpiece page describes the specialty status as recognised by the Medical Council of Thailand. It prints no board-certificate number, so none appears here.

The same page shows a Thai medical licence number, 50536. 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. The figure is reproduced from the hospital page; the register can be searched at checkmd.tmc.or.th. A cautious patient can look the name up on the register directly, or ask our patient team to help confirm licence and specialty with the hospital before travelling.

Several things are absent from the record, and we do not fill the gaps. We found no fellowship, no overseas training, no society membership such as ThPRS or ThSAPS, no publication and no university appointment. Our notes say we looked at the plastic surgery society member lists and at PubMed under his name and found nothing. That tells you what we could see, not what exists. Should one of them weigh on your choice, raise it with him directly and ask for the reply in writing.

On what an ENT background can mean in general: otolaryngology is the field of the nose, sinuses, throat, head and neck, and a surgeon trained in it is familiar with nasal anatomy and with the airspaces inside the facial skeleton. That says nothing about how many operations a given surgeon performs each year. For any facial surgeon, the more useful questions are which of your planned procedures they carry out regularly, which techniques they use, and how complications are handled after you leave the operating room.

Our research file records two practice settings, both in Bangkok.

Masterpiece Hospital. The hospital's page for him names him attending physician across the Nose Surgery, Facelift and Brow Lift, and Forehead Surgery and Hairline Advancement departments. In its English about page, the hospital says Masterpiece Clinic opened at Siam Square in 2013 and the operation later became a hospital on Sukhothai Road. It also states a capacity of 14 beds, with seven operating rooms split into four for anaesthesia cases and three without. The accreditation body AACI shows Masterpiece as accredited and first certified in February 2023. The Masterpiece Hospital page has the accreditation detail and our note on what such a status can and cannot tell a patient.

The Dr.CHEN Surgery Hospital International Center (DCH). DCH's page for him describes a specialist surgeon in the Dr.CHEN team working on nasal structure and facial surgery, and names nose surgery, facelift, endoscopic brow lift and forehead surgery as his procedures there. We do not hold a verified facility file for DCH, and we therefore say nothing about its size, address or accreditation. The DCH Hospital page shows what we have for it.

What the sources leave out is just as relevant. They do not tell us how he divides his time between the two hospitals, which weekdays he operates where, or when he joined either one. They give no count of years in practice and no number of cases performed, so we cite none. When you request a consultation, ask where the consultation and the operation would happen. The site decides which anaesthesia team looks after you, which ward you recover in, and which clinic handles your check-ups.

Five areas below are each tied to an official page that names the area for him. The explanations are general descriptions drawn from our procedure guides; neither hospital describes how he personally operates, so ask him about method directly.

### Rhinoplasty in Bangkok

Masterpiece names him attending physician for its Nose Surgery Department and says he joins the nose surgery team. DCH lists nose surgery among his procedures. Rhinoplasty changes the shape of the nose through its bone and cartilage support, and the skin is then draped over the revised framework. When the internal partition is straightened for airflow at the same sitting, surgeons call it septorhinoplasty. Goals usually divide into taking away (a hump, a wide bridge) and building up (a low bridge, an under-projected tip). In general, our guide describes the work as taking about 1.5 to 3 hours, usually under general anaesthesia, with patients leaving hospital the same day or after one night and most visitors staying around 7 to 10 days until the nasal splint is removed and the surgeon has reviewed you. Puffiness is mostly gone by the second or third week, though a year or longer may pass before the tip finishes changing. If you have breathing complaints as well as cosmetic goals, say so at the start. If this would be a revision of an earlier operation, say that too, because revisions often run longer and need the old operation notes.

### Facelift

Both hospitals list facelift for him, and Masterpiece places him in its endoscopic facelift team as well as its facelift and brow lift department. A facelift in general lifts the deeper layers under the skin of the jowls and neck into a better position and removes the excess skin, aiming to ease sagging there. It does not alter the forehead, the eyelids or fine surface wrinkles, which is why it is often discussed alongside brow, eyelid or skin-resurfacing options. Our guides separate several approaches, including deep plane and mini facelift variants, and the profiles do not say which he prefers. In general, our guide's figures are two to five hours of operating time under general anaesthesia or IV sedation, an inpatient stay of one or two nights, and a total of 10 to 14 days in the country, with bruising and swelling mostly easing over two to three weeks and the final contour refining over several months.

### Brow lift, including the endoscopic approach

DCH names endoscopic brow lift for him specifically, and Masterpiece lists brow lift under the same department as facelift. A brow lift raises sagging eyebrows and can soften forehead lines. The endoscopic route uses short incisions and a small camera instead of one long incision across the scalp. Which route suits a particular person turns on hairline position, forehead height and the brow's resting position, and only an in-person examination settles it. A full guide to this operation has not been published on our site yet, so for detail rely on what the surgeon tells you in person.

### Forehead contouring, brow bone and frontal sinus setback

Masterpiece lists frontal sinus setback surgery and brow bone contouring among his services and has a forehead surgery department; DCH lists forehead surgery. Our page on forehead contouring and brow bone reduction sits in our facial feminisation section, yet the operation is also requested by people who want a less prominent brow for non-gender reasons. In general, bone work above the eyes needs care because the frontal sinus, an air-filled cavity behind the brow, lies close to the area being reshaped, so patients may reasonably ask whether imaging will be done first. His profile also lists temple augmentation. The profiles do not say what share of his forehead work is gender-affirming, and we do not guess.

### Hairline lowering (forehead reduction)

Masterpiece names forehead reduction and hairline lowering among his services. Hairline lowering brings the hairline forward to shorten a tall forehead, generally by advancing the scalp with the incision along the hairline. How far the line can move depends on how loose the scalp is, which is judged on examination. Patients commonly ask where the scar will sit, how hair grows through it, and whether a later hair transplant might be suggested to refine the edge. Our hairline lowering guide has not been written yet, so we publish no stay or recovery figure for it here.

On our site he also appears in the surgeon lists for facelift, brow lift and hairline lowering.

Whether surgery is advisable at all, and which operation fits, is the surgeon's call after examining you. The advice below is general and follows the areas his profiles document.

Forehead, hairline or brow surgery. Photograph your face with the hair tied back, and be ready to describe how your forehead height has changed over the years. Questions worth asking:

• Which operation would you recommend for my forehead: advancing the hairline, reshaping the bone, or both?
• Where would the scar lie, and how noticeable might it be at the hairline?
• If bone work is on the table, will the frontal sinus be imaged beforehand?
• Would a brow lift be done endoscopically or through an open incision, and why?
• What are my options if I dislike where the hairline ends up?

Facelift. Ask which technique is planned, whether you would also have neck or brow surgery at the same time, what anaesthesia is proposed, and how long you would be an inpatient. Smoking and nicotine slow skin healing and raise the risk of wound problems after a facelift, so be frank about both.

Rhinoplasty. Explain precisely what bothers you about your nose, mention any trouble breathing, and tell the team if you have had nose surgery or a nasal injury. Should the bridge need raising, ask what material would be used, and ask how a revision would be handled if one proved necessary.

Whatever the operation. Find out who will operate and who will give the anaesthetic, what a written quote covers, who you contact after flying home, and what happens if you need unplanned extra care. Bring a written list of your medicines and allergies. Any plan formed only from photographs is provisional; it is confirmed or changed once the surgeon has examined you in person.

Patients coming from abroad generally need three things: a way to ask questions before they travel, a clear picture of the facility, and a realistic idea of how long to stay.

Reaching the hospital. On its contact page, Masterpiece provides a no-cost request form and an online consultation option, and it also lists WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE and Telegram channels, and it adds country-specific contacts for Cambodia, Indonesia and China. None of the pages we read names the languages that Dr. Nattawut or the hospital staff speak, so we claim none. If you need a particular language, say so in your first message.

The facilities. For Masterpiece, the hospital's own figures are 14 beds and seven theatres, and AACI's list records accreditation with initial certification in February 2023. For DCH we hold no verified facility file and no accreditation record, and we would record one only if the accreditor's own database or a dated facility statement showed it. Accreditation describes a facility's systems when it was surveyed; it does not forecast the result of any one operation.

Planning your stay. The operation sets the length of stay, and your surgeon alone decides when flying is safe. Where our procedure pages give a figure, it appears in the sections above: about 7–10 days (rhinoplasty) and 10–14 days (facelift). Our brow lift page shows an indicative 7 to 10 days and the forehead contouring page 10 to 14 days, but both guides are still being written and the hairline lowering page gives no figure, so ask for a written recommendation for each. Arrange help for the first days, lodging near the hospital, and a flight-home date agreed with the surgeon.

Address. Masterpiece Hospital is at 99/19 Sukhothai Road, Dusit Subdistrict, Bangkok 10300. Our Bangkok guide covers staying in the city.
