Dr. Nutdanai Chaochaikhong

Dr. Nutdanai Chaochaikhong (Thai: นพ.ณัฐดนัย ชาวชายโขง) is a physician assigned to the liposuction department of Masterpiece Hospital, a cosmetic surgery hospital in Bangkok's Dusit district. The hospital's staff page lists him under its liposuction doctors, and the banner image on that page gives his nickname as "Dr. Guy" (หมอกาย). Liposuction is the single procedure area his profile connects to him, so this page is organised around it.

A note on how he is described, because a short hospital profile is easy to over-read. The profile gives an M.D. and a fellowship in aesthetic medicine. It does not mention a surgical residency, a plastic surgery board certification or a plastic surgery title, and the "Surgery" label we show for him reflects only his place in the liposuction department. For that reason he is not described on this site as a plastic surgeon or a board-certified surgeon, and you should not assume either. What the record supports is a medical doctor with additional aesthetic and liposuction-related training who is currently listed in a named hospital's liposuction service.

The facts below come from the hospital's published profile, which we read on 27 September 2026:

• Name: Dr. Nutdanai Chaochaikhong (นพ.ณัฐดนัย ชาวชายโขง)
• City: Bangkok, Thailand (Bangkok guide)
• Workplace: Masterpiece Hospital, Sukhothai Road, Dusit
• Role listed: Physician, Liposuction Department
• Documented procedure area: liposuction
• Medical degree: M.D., Naresuan University (Buddhachinaraj Hospital), 2018
• Further training listed: Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine (DPU, Thailand); Advanced Liposuction course; J-plasma Renuvion (2022) and MINT Lift (2021) practitioner certificates
• Association named on the profile: Thai Association and Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine

To ask about a consultation, send a request for Dr. Nutdanai. Our patient team confirms each booking by contacting the hospital, and nothing is instant. To see how this page was put together, the provider research methodology sets out our sourcing and labelling rules.

Everything in this section rests on one source, the Masterpiece Hospital profile. We have not matched it to a university record or a society roll, and we point out below where that limits what can be said.

Medical degree. The profile states an M.D. from Naresuan University, linked to Buddhachinaraj Hospital, dated 2018. A medical degree is the entry qualification for practising medicine. By itself it says nothing about aesthetic or operative skill.

Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine. The profile lists a Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine at "DPU, Thailand". The page neither spells out DPU nor dates the fellowship, so we repeat it exactly as printed instead of guessing the institution. In general, aesthetic medicine is a wide field that includes non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments, and it is a different route from a surgical residency in plastic surgery. If that difference matters to you, ask him what the fellowship covered and how much of it was hands-on surgery.

Short courses and certificates. The profile lists these additional items:

• Advanced Liposuction, certificate of completion, no year given. Of everything listed, this relates most directly to the work he is assigned to.
• J-plasma Renuvion, certificated practitioner, 2022. Renuvion is generally described as an energy-based skin-tightening technology; the profile does not say whether or how he combines it with liposuction.
• MINT Lift, certificated practitioner for the midface and lower face, 2021. It concerns the face, not liposuction.
• Keosan conference and live surgery seminar, certificate of completion, with topics including rhinoplasty using silicone and mesh, forehead augmentation with a silicone implant, and a method for a natural-looking nose. A seminar certificate shows attendance. It does not show that he performs those operations, so we do not list rhinoplasty or forehead surgery for him.

Gaps in the profile. It records no residency, no board certification, no fellowship year and no training abroad. Their absence is not a warning sign in itself, but they are the points to raise if you want a clear picture of his formal surgical training.

Licence. Medical licence number 61944 is printed in the hospital profile text and on its banner image. 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 number is therefore the hospital's statement, not something we have confirmed. You can run the search yourself on the Council's site, and our patient team can help with Thai-language results.

Current position. The one post documented for Dr. Nutdanai is liposuction-department physician at Masterpiece Hospital. The profile gives no start date and we know of no earlier posts, so we do not sketch a career path that we cannot support.

Figures we do not state. We have no verified count of liposuction operations he has performed, no figure for how long he has worked in cosmetic procedures, and no complication data. Many online profiles quote numbers like these without a source, and we prefer to leave the gap visible. If volume matters to you, ask him directly, and ask for it in terms of the body area you want treated.

Association. The profile names a single professional association, the one shown in the summary list at the top of this page. We record this as a statement on the hospital page only, because we did not locate or check a membership list. Do not confuse it with Thailand's plastic surgery society. That is a different body, and membership of one says nothing about the other when you compare doctors.

The hospital. Masterpiece Hospital's about page traces its start to a 2013 clinic in Siam Square, which later moved to Sukhothai Road. The same page describes a six-floor hospital building with 14 patient beds and seven operating rooms, four of them equipped for anaesthesia and three not. The accreditor AACI's published list shows the hospital as accredited since February 2023, and the same list shows two ISO certifications, first issued in March 2023 (ISO 9001:2015) and March 2026 (ISO 7101:2023). These facts describe the facility and not any individual doctor, and AACI accreditation is not the same thing as JCI accreditation; we found no JCI or HA Thailand record for this hospital. Further facility detail is on our hospital profile.

### Liposuction

Masterpiece Hospital lists Dr. Nutdanai among the doctors of its liposuction department, and the review section of his profile page carries a liposuction heading. This is the evidence for linking liposuction to him. The profile does not itemise body areas or techniques, so everything below the statement that he performs liposuction at Masterpiece Hospital is general guidance from our procedure page, not an account of how he personally operates.

What liposuction is. In general, liposuction removes fat from chosen areas through small skin incisions, using a thin suction tube called a cannula. Our procedure page lists the belly and love handles, the back and bra line, inner and outer thighs, the upper arms and the under-chin area among typical targets. It reshapes contour where diet and exercise have not changed a fat pocket. It will not substitute for losing weight, and cellulite and slack skin are outside what it addresses. Candidates are usually people whose weight is close to stable and whose fat sits in localised pockets.

Techniques you may hear about. Our procedure guidance describes four broad approaches: tumescent liposuction (fluid with local anaesthetic is infiltrated first), ultrasound-assisted methods such as VASER, power-assisted suction with a vibrating cannula, and high-definition work that sculpts around muscle contours in suitable lean patients. Masterpiece Hospital has a VASER liposuction service page of its own, but Dr. Nutdanai's profile does not name VASER, HD or any other method for him. If a technique interests you, ask whether he uses it, how often, and why it would or would not suit your body. The differences are outlined on our VASER liposuction page. The method matters less than the surgeon's judgement about your anatomy.

Volume limits and staging. Removing a lot of fat in one sitting adds to the danger of fluid shifts, bleeding and clots. Surgeons therefore set a ceiling based on your weight and general health, and sometimes divide treatment into stages. Treat with caution any quote that promises many areas or a very large volume in one go for a low price. Ask Dr. Nutdanai how he would set the ceiling for you and what would lead him to stage the work.

Anaesthesia and hospital stay. Our procedure page says the operation can be performed with a general anaesthetic or with local anaesthetic plus sedation, and patients go home the same day or stay one night. Which applies to you depends on the areas and the volume, and the surgeon and anaesthesia team decide. Ask which type is planned and who will administer it.

Recovery in general. Expect swelling, bruising and fluid draining from the incisions in the first days, with a compression garment worn for several weeks. Many people manage light activity and desk work after about a week, and a check-up is usually carried out before flying. Puffiness fades slowly across the next several weeks, and the shape you end up with usually becomes clear between three and six months. These timelines are general guidance and not a forecast for any one person.

Risks. Complications that can occur include dents or uneven contour, asymmetry, numbness, seroma (a pocket of fluid), infection and changes in skin colour. Less common but serious events include fat embolism and blood clots that form in the legs and travel to the lungs. Risk goes up with bigger volumes and with procedures combined in one operation. Getting up and walking early, and sticking to the garment and clot-prevention plan, count for most when a long flight is coming. Whether liposuction suits you at all, and how much can be done, can only be judged after an assessment by the surgeon.

### Other training mentioned on his profile

The profile's certificates include J-plasma Renuvion (2022) and MINT Lift (2021). Both are presented as training completed. Neither appears as a service of the liposuction department, so we do not offer them as treatments you can book with him. If loose skin worries you, raise it plainly. Liposuction alone does not tighten skin, and it is reasonable to ask what he would suggest and whether the hospital provides it.

### Procedures we do not attribute to him

The hospital's own site lists services across face and body, among them rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation and hair transplantation. Those belong to the hospital and are linked to other doctors on its team. A service offered by the hospital is not evidence that Dr. Nutdanai performs it.

A consultation is where his training, your goals and your health meet, and it is your opportunity to test whether a proposed plan is realistic. Patients commonly raise the following topics, and each is a fair thing to put to Dr. Nutdanai or the hospital team.

Goals and areas. Describe exactly which areas bother you and what change you hope for, such as a flatter lower abdomen, smoother flanks, slimmer thighs or a more defined waist. Ask him to show on your own body what is achievable and what liposuction cannot do. If your skin is loose or stretched, ask what he expects it to do once fat is removed.

Suitability and health. Be ready to talk about your weight history and whether it has been steady, earlier operations near the area, current medicines including blood thinners, smoking, any past blood clots, and conditions such as diabetes or heart and lung disease. In general, these shape both safety and how much can be treated.

Technique and plan. Ask which method he proposes and why, which areas would be treated in one session, and whether staging is advisable. Ask what the realistic limit on treated volume is in your case.

Anaesthesia and facility. Ask who gives the anaesthetic, how you will be monitored, what the emergency arrangements are during and after the operation, and whether an overnight stay is expected. The hospital states that it has 14 beds and seven operating rooms; ask how that translates to the day of your operation.

Qualifications. It is reasonable to ask about his residency or surgical training, what share of his work is liposuction, and what the Advanced Liposuction course and aesthetic medicine fellowship on his profile involved in practice. Ask for his licence number and check it against the Medical Council register. A specific answer is helpful, and a vague one tells you something as well.

Results, risks and follow-up. Ask to see before-and-after photographs from patients who consented to share them, ideally with a body type like yours. Ask how often dents and seroma occur in his practice, how they are treated, and which follow-up visits are included. Find out how long you need to remain in Thailand, what check must happen before you fly, and how problems will be managed once you are home, including who you would contact and in which language.

Cost. Request a written quote broken down by area, covering the surgeon's fee, anaesthesia, hospital stay, garments and follow-up appointments, and ask what happens if a revision is needed. We publish no price for Dr. Nutdanai because none is documented. Our patient team can ask the hospital for a written quote on your behalf.

When you request a consultation, list these questions in your message so they reach the hospital ahead of your visit.

Dr. Nutdanai's documented workplace is Masterpiece Hospital, located at number 99/19 on Sukhothai Road in Dusit, Bangkok (postcode 10300). The hospital's official contact page carries a request form that costs nothing to use and offers an online consultation as an option. Chat contacts for WeChat, LINE, WhatsApp and Telegram are listed there too, and patients from Cambodia, Indonesia and China are each given a dedicated contact.

Gaps in the record: we found no statement of an international patient desk at the hospital, no list of languages Dr. Nutdanai speaks, and no word on whether airport transfers, accommodation or interpreters are arranged by the hospital. His profile is written in Thai and lists no languages, so we list none. If you do not speak Thai, ask before booking whether he consults in English or through an interpreter, and who will interpret on the day of surgery and at follow-up visits. Our patient team can forward that question to the hospital.

Planning the trip. Our procedure page notes that liposuction patients commonly stay 7–10 days, longer after big or combined operations. That window is meant to cover the operation, the first days of swelling and the check-up before you fly. Keep moving, drink enough water, and ask about clot prevention for the journey home, such as compression stockings. Bangkok is a major air hub with many onward connections, and our Bangkok city page has general information about the city.

After you go home. Settle your aftercare plan before you travel. Ask for a written summary of the operation, including the areas treated and the volume removed, and for a contact for questions after surgery. Keep your own photographs and any garment instructions. If a doctor near home is willing to review you, tell them in advance what is planned.

A well-prepared request lets the doctor offer a useful first opinion, particularly in an online consultation. For liposuction, patients commonly send the following.

Photographs. Clear, evenly lit pictures of the areas you want treated, all in the same pose and lighting: front, both sides and back, standing relaxed, without tight clothing. Show the whole torso or the whole leg, and not just the spot that worries you, so that proportions are visible. Several shots from the same distance are more informative than one close-up. Do not filter or edit them.

Height, weight and weight changes. Your height, current weight and how your weight has moved over recent years, including any recent loss or gain and any plan to change it before surgery. Surgeons usually prefer a steady weight.

Medical history. Earlier operations, especially on the abdomen or thighs or any previous liposuction or body-contouring surgery; any history of blood clots or clotting problems; heart, lung, liver, kidney or thyroid disease; diabetes; blood pressure; allergies; and any anaesthesia problems that you or close relatives have had.

Medicines and supplements. Write down everything you take: prescription drugs, products bought without a prescription, vitamins and herbal supplements. Flag blood thinners, anti-inflammatory painkillers, hormone treatment, and any smoking or vaping. The surgeon will tell you what has to be paused and for how long.

Goals in your own words. Briefly explain what you want to change, which matters most, and any area that should stay untouched. If a result you saw appeals to you, say what you like about it, bearing in mind that outcomes vary from body to body.

Practical details. Your possible travel dates, how long you can stay, the language you prefer for the consultation and any budget questions. Attach recent blood tests or medical reports if you have them in English.

Share only what you are comfortable sending. Our patient team treats your request confidentially and passes the relevant details to the hospital. You can start here: request a consultation with Dr. Nutdanai.
