Dr. Nuttorn Boochangkool

Dr. Nuttorn Boochangkool (Thai: นายแพทย์ณัทธร บูชางกูร) is a plastic surgeon working in Bangkok, Thailand. The specialty on his Phyathai 2 Hospital page is plastic surgery, with the sub-label "plastic and reconstructive surgery". Two places of work are documented: Phyathai 2 Hospital, where he appears under the Beauty Center, and The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital, whose own doctor page names him Medical Director and specialist plastic surgeon.

His name is spelled two ways. Phyathai uses "Nuttorn", while The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital uses "Nutthorn" and adds a nickname, Dr. Ta. These are the same man: the Thai-language Phyathai page carries training dates that match the English ones, and the Art Hospital portrait is filed under the nickname. If a web search turns up either spelling, you are looking at one surgeon with two hospital affiliations.

Everything on this page about Dr. Nuttorn himself comes from those two official hospital pages, which we re-read on 2 October 2026. It is a factual summary, not a review and not a ranking. Where the hospitals are silent, such as on a personal operation list, spoken languages or society memberships, we say so rather than fill the gap. The checking method is described in our provider research methodology article.

If you would like to discuss a procedure with him, you can request a consultation via our patient team. Our service for forwarding a request carries no fee, and a date is not reserved until the hospital confirms it.

On the Phyathai 2 Hospital page, three qualifications are listed for Dr. Nuttorn Boochangkool, each awarded by Mahidol University's Siriraj Hospital medical faculty in Bangkok:

• M.D., studied 1997 to 2003.
• Thai Board of General Surgery diploma, 2005 to 2009.
• Thai Board of Plastic Surgery diploma, 2009 to 2012.

Read as a timeline, this is a medical degree, then about four years of general surgery, then three years of focused plastic surgery training finishing in 2012. In general, that two-stage path (general surgery first, plastic surgery second) is how Thai plastic surgeons are trained, and the plastic surgery board diploma is the specialist credential to look for when comparing surgeons. The Thai-language version of his Phyathai profile gives the same periods, using Buddhist Era years, which supports the English dates.

The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital page adds two overseas placements:

• International Visiting Scholar, Asan Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea, dated 2012.
• International Observership, The University of Tokyo Hospital, Japan, dated 2011.

Neither page says how long these placements lasted or which techniques they covered, and we have not found that information elsewhere, so we do not describe their content. An observership is a period of watching and learning in another hospital's theatre, and a visiting scholar post is a similar learning arrangement. Neither is a second board qualification, and neither should be read as one. If a particular technique is important to you, a sensible consultation question is what he took from those placements and whether it affects how he would plan your operation.

On his two official profiles we found no fellowship, academic appointment or published paper, and a PubMed search under his surname returned nothing. That tells you what we could confirm, not what exists. We list only what a source supports.

Two present-day roles are documented, both read from the hospitals' own pages on 2 October 2026:

• Phyathai 2 Hospital, Bangkok. His doctor page files him under the Beauty Center with the label plastic and reconstructive surgery, a unit with separate cosmetic laser and plastic surgery arms. The hospital's street address is on Phaholyothin Road, in Phayathai District.
• The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital, Bangkok. His page there gives the title Medical Director and specialist plastic surgeon. Its site is in the Don Mueang area of north Bangkok, and its Thai name marks it out as a specialist plastic surgery hospital.

The pages do not say when he took up either post. So we cannot tell you how long he has been with either hospital or how many years he has practised since 2012, and we give no estimate of his case numbers. A number we cannot source would only suggest precision we do not have. Anyone weighing his track record should raise it in the consultation, including how long he has operated at the hospital that would treat you.

A surgeon attached to both a large general hospital and a single-specialty plastic surgery hospital is a common arrangement in Bangkok. One practical point follows. Before you travel, pin down which of the two sites your consultation and surgery would take place at. They differ in building, ward set-up, theatre team and aftercare arrangements, and a plan agreed for one site may not transfer to the other. Our patient team can put this question to the hospital and relay the answer in writing.

This is the section where precision matters most. Neither official profile gives Dr. Nuttorn Boochangkool a personal list of operations. Phyathai names his specialty without listing procedures, and The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital shows service categories for the whole institution, not for him alone. For that reason this site does not link him to any individual procedure, and we will not say he performs a particular operation unless a source says so.

What the Art Plastic Surgery Hospital offers at hospital level. Our facility page for the hospital, built from its official site, lists these surgical services: facelift, rhinoplasty, eyelid, chin, jaw, breast, liposuction, tummy tuck and hair transplant surgery. For readers who want background on any of them, we have guides to rhinoplasty, facelift, double eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tuck and hair transplant.

The hospital has sixteen surgeons on our list, and they include oculoplastic specialists as well as plastic surgeons. A service offered by the hospital is therefore carried out by some of its surgeons and not necessarily by every one. The list describes the hospital, not Dr. Nuttorn.

What Phyathai 2 says. The Beauty Center page publishes no procedure list at all and does not break its work down by surgeon.

What his training suggests, and what it does not. In general, plastic surgery training in Thailand spans cosmetic and reconstructive work, so a surgeon with the board diploma has been trained across the field. Training breadth is different from a surgeon's daily caseload, though; many plastic surgeons concentrate on a handful of operations. To learn where his own practice is concentrated, ask what makes up the bulk of his current caseload and whether he can show examples close to your situation.

How to use this information. Choose the procedure you are considering, read the matching guide on this site, and then bring your questions to the consultation. Ask directly whether Dr. Nuttorn would be your surgeon for that operation and at which hospital. If you name the procedure when you contact our patient team, we will ask the hospital to propose a suitable surgeon and report back who that is.

Should an official page start naming specific procedures for him, this profile will be revised to match. Until that happens, read the services above as hospital information and treat the surgeon assignment as something to confirm in writing.

The points below are general guidance for an elective plastic surgery consultation in Thailand. They are not an account of how Dr. Nuttorn runs his clinic, which neither hospital describes.

Start with what you want, and what you do not. A surgeon can only give sound advice when you have described the change you hope for, the features you want left alone, and any earlier operations in the area. People having a second operation, such as a revision rhinoplasty, help the consultation by bringing operative notes or implant details from the first surgery.

Questions worth putting to any plastic surgeon, him included:

• Which of my goals can this operation realistically address, and which would you advise me against?
• What share of your recent cases does this operation make up?
• Which hospital and theatre team would be involved, who administers the anaesthetic, and how would any longer inpatient stay or repeat visit to the operating room be dealt with?
• What are the risks that apply specifically to someone with my health history?
• How is my aftercare organised, and who can I contact once I have flown home?
• What does the quoted fee cover, and what is charged separately?

Give a complete medical history. List all medicines, with particular attention to blood thinners, and mention smoking or nicotine use, past reactions to anaesthesia, long-term conditions and earlier surgery. Our facelift guide stresses stopping nicotine beforehand, since smoking raises the chance of wound-healing trouble, and notes you will usually be asked about bleeding-related medicines beforehand.

Ask what the operation does not do. As general guidance drawn from our procedure guides: a facelift treats sagging in the lower face and neck rather than the forehead or eyelids; a breast augmentation adds volume but does not by itself lift breasts that have dropped; and liposuction reshapes body contour rather than treating weight. Whether any of these is suitable for you depends on an in-person assessment, and results vary between patients. A good consultation describes the limits and risks as clearly as the benefits.

Take your time. Seeing more than one surgeon, asking for a written plan and sleeping on the decision are all reasonable. If you would like, our patient team can pass your written questions to the hospital before the appointment so that the answers are ready before you meet.

Our research on the two facilities is limited, so we distinguish below between documented facts and gaps.

Phyathai 2 Hospital. The Beauty Center page gives a location on level 14 of Building B and says it opens every day from morning until evening (9:00 AM start, 8:00 PM close). For questions it points to the hospital call line, and two messaging accounts, one on Line and one on WeChat; take the exact handles and numbers from the hospital's own site. The hospital reports 550 beds and a 1987 opening. We have recorded no accreditation for it. The hospital's page says only that it was the first hospital to receive an accreditation, without naming the body or the date, and we could not check an accreditor's database.

The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital. Our facility page describes a plastic surgery hospital with 29 beds and 12 operating rooms, with clinic branches in Lat Phrao and Pattaya. Because it lies in Don Mueang, in the north of the city, allow for transfer time and ask the hospital how long the journey takes from the airport you will arrive at. We hold no accreditation record for this hospital either. We list an accreditation only where the accrediting body or a current dated hospital statement supports it.

Language. Neither doctor page states which languages Dr. Nuttorn speaks, so please do not assume that consultations will be in English. If English or another language is essential to you, say so in your message so the hospital can be asked whether he consults in it personally or with an interpreter.

Time in Thailand. Trip length varies by operation, and only the surgeon can set your timetable after an examination. As general guidance from our procedure guides: rhinoplasty commonly means 7 to 10 days in the country, covering splint removal and a check-up; a facelift 10 to 14 days; a tummy tuck, 12 to 14. Hospital stays are shorter than your time in the country, from the same day or one night for a rhinoplasty to one to three nights for a tummy tuck. Hold off on booking return flights until the surgeon has confirmed the plan.

Complete information lets a surgeon respond to your case specifically rather than in generalities. The list is general guidance suited to most elective plastic surgery requests; the hospital may ask for something different, and our team will say so.

With every request:

• Age, height and current weight, and any notable weight change over the past year.
• Medicines, supplements, allergies and long-term health conditions.
• Previous operations, particularly in the area of interest, with dates and any operative notes you hold.
• Smoking or nicotine use.
• Any plan to become pregnant soon, which can affect the timing of breast and abdominal surgery.
• Your goals in your own words, plus the weeks in which you could travel.

Photographs. Use even lighting and a plain background, with no filters or make-up, from the angles the team specifies. Typical requests are:

• Nose and face: front, each side and an angled view, with an upward view for the nose.
• Breasts: front and side views, without a bra.
• Liposuction or tummy tuck: front, side and back, standing relaxed, in underwear that leaves the area visible.
• Eyelids: close-ups with eyes open and with eyes closed.
• Hair transplant: views of the front hairline, the mid-scalp and the crown.

If you are weighing a rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, tummy tuck or liposuction, read the relevant guide beforehand and write down your questions. These are medical images, so share them only through the secure route that the patient team gives you, never in public posts or open social media groups.
