Dr. Orawan Kosumsupamala

Dr. Orawan Kosumsupamala (Thai: พญ.อรวรรณ โกสุมศุภมาลา) is an eyelid- and nose-focused plastic surgeon who joined Yanhee International Hospital in Bangkok in 2023, the start date on her English Yanhee profile. Her listing sits within Yanhee's plastic surgery centre, known in Thai as ศูนย์ศัลยกรรมตกแต่ง, at a private JCI-accredited hospital in Bang Phlat district. Her previous post, from 2019 to 2023, was head of the Plastic Surgery Unit at Ratchaburi Hospital.

Her medical degree and her specialist training both come from Chulalongkorn University: she graduated in medicine there in 2010, trained in its Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and, according to her Thai profile, received her Thai specialist board certificate in the field in 2019. The training section below takes each item in turn and says where it is published.

The documented focus of her work is the upper eyelid and the nose. On the Thai-language profile, Yanhee names three areas of expertise for her: correction of cleft lip and cleft palate, correction of eyelid ptosis (weakness of the muscle that raises the upper lid) and correction of nasal deformity. The same page's treatment-experience list is more specific. It pairs ptosis correction with double eyelid revision, then lists first-time double eyelid surgery, nose augmentation paired with alar trimming, and nose revision with structural correction through an open approach. A separate English-language Yanhee page, on Adam's apple shaving, names her among the hospital's plastic surgeons who carry out that operation.

Mapped to the procedure guides on our site, that documented work covers:

• Upper eyelids: ptosis correction and double eyelid surgery, both first-time operations and correction of an earlier crease
• Nose: rhinoplasty, Asian (augmentation) rhinoplasty, alar base reduction and revision rhinoplasty
• Neck: tracheal shave, the operation Yanhee calls Adam's apple shaving

Cleft lip and palate correction is part of her stated expertise as well, though our site has no dedicated guide to it. Thai and English are the languages Yanhee lists for her.

To ask about an appointment, use the consultation request form for Dr. Orawan Kosumsupamala. Our patient team forwards it to Yanhee, checks her availability, and treats the appointment as booked only once it has confirmed the details with you.

Two kinds of source cover Dr. Orawan's education: her Yanhee profiles in English and Thai, and the alumni page of Chulalongkorn University's plastic surgery division.

• Doctor of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, 2010. Both profiles give this degree. The Thai one records it under its Thai name, แพทยศาสตรบัณฑิต, dated B.E. 2553 (2010), and adds the Thai honours designation เกียรตินิยมอันดับ 1 (first-class honours). The honours note appears on the current Thai profile only; an archived 2023 copy of that page did not include it.
• Specialist training in plastic surgery, Chulalongkorn University (CUPS). The university's Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery names her as an alumna of its 35th class (รุ่นที่ 35). Its alumni page gives no training dates.
• Thai board certificate in plastic surgery, 2019. This item is on the Thai profile only: a วุฒิบัตร, the Thai specialist qualification, with the field given as สาขาศัลยศาสตร์ตกแต่ง (plastic surgery), issued through Chulalongkorn University in B.E. 2562. The English profile has no section for specialist training.
• Asan Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea. Listed as an International Visiting Scholars Training Program with Asan's plastic surgery department (the profile spells the hospital 'ASAN Medical center, Seoul').
• University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), United States. International Physician Observation Program in the Department of Plastic Surgery.

Neither overseas programme carries a date or a length on the profile, and neither is called a fellowship there. If you want to know what her time abroad involved, that is a reasonable thing to ask her at consultation.

Societies and the Royal College. Her 'Credentials' entry on Yanhee's site names three organisations. Two are Thai plastic surgery societies, which the English profile calls the 'Association of Plastic Surgeons of Thailand' and the 'Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons of Thailand'; this page refers to them by their society abbreviations, ThPRS and ThSAPS. The third is Thailand's medical licensing authority, the Medical Council of Thailand. One membership we were able to confirm at its source is not on the Yanhee profiles at all: her name comes up in the RCST's own online member search with a specialist member record, number 3549 (RCST being the Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand). Her name was absent from the ThPRS public directory when we went through it on 27 September 2026, and ThSAPS has no current public member list. This page therefore labels both society memberships as stated by the hospital, not as verified.

Medical licence. 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 register is public and can be searched by a doctor's name. Our provider research methodology page explains how we grade each credential and what separates a hospital's own statement from a fact we have confirmed.

Ratchaburi Hospital, 2019 to 2023. Yanhee's English and Thai profiles, and its Adam's apple shaving page, all give her previous post as Head of the Plastic Surgery Unit (หัวหน้าหน่วยศัลยกรรมตกแต่ง) at Ratchaburi Hospital (โรงพยาบาลราชบุรี), from 2019 until 2023. On those dates, she took up the post in the same year as her board certificate. Our research turned up no Ratchaburi Hospital staff page naming her, so this role is documented only through Yanhee.

Yanhee International Hospital, 2023 onwards. She joined Yanhee as a plastic surgeon in 2023 and appears in both language versions of its plastic surgeon directory. The hospital describes its plastic surgery team as 18 board-certified plastic surgeons.

Speaker at RASP2025. A news item on Yanhee's Thai website reports that six of its plastic surgeons were among the speakers at RASP2025, Ramathibodi's 19th annual plastic surgery symposium. Her session, on 26 August 2025, covered ptosis correction using a tendon (แก้ไขกล้ามเนื้อตาอ่อนแรงด้วยเส้นเอ็น), the same area her profile puts first.

Reviewer of a hospital article. Yanhee's English article on ultrasonic (Piezo) rhinoplasty carries her name as medical reviewer. She does not appear in that article's list of doctors who offer the technique, so we have not added it to her procedures; our team can ask Yanhee who performs it if it interests you.

Case numbers on her Thai profile. Beside each treatment-experience item, the Thai profile prints an approximate count: over 300 for ptosis correction with double eyelid revision, over 300 for double eyelid surgery, over 300 for nose augmentation with alar trimming, and over 100 for open structural nose revision. These figures are Yanhee's own. For your decision, the more useful question is how often she performs the specific operation you need, and what outcomes she has seen in cases like yours.

Gaps in the public record. A PubMed search on her surname returned no indexed papers. Her clinic days, consultation fees and waiting times are not published; our patient team asks Yanhee for them once you send a request.

Every area in this section is attributed to Dr. Orawan on an official Yanhee page. Background information on each operation is drawn from our own procedure guides; only Dr. Orawan, after examining you, can decide if surgery suits you and which method she would use.

Ptosis correction

Her Thai profile lists ptosis (กล้ามเนื้อตาอ่อนแรง, literally 'weak eye muscle') twice, once as expertise and once as treatment experience, and it was her RASP2025 topic. With ptosis, the upper lid margin droops because the muscle that raises the lid, or its attachment, is not lifting it properly. Hooding from loose skin is a separate matter, usually treated with upper eyelid surgery. A lid can have one problem, the other, or both, so the first job at a consultation is to work out which applies to you.

Our blepharoplasty guide gives the general picture for eyelid operations. Anaesthesia is either local with sedation or general; the stitches are typically removed at around 5–7 days; and most of the bruising has gone within 1–2 weeks. Before any lid operation she will need to know about eye problems, for example a tendency to dry eye, glaucoma or thyroid-related eye disease, and how well you see, because these change how safe surgery is. The risks that guide lists include dry or irritated eyes, temporary blurring, incomplete closure of the eyes, asymmetry, visible scars and infection. If you notice severe pain or any change in your sight once the operation is over, get urgent medical help. For ptosis specifically, our ptosis correction guide suggests a stay of 5–7 days in Thailand.

Double eyelid surgery and double eyelid revision

The Thai profile lists first-time double eyelid surgery (ทำตาสองชั้น) and correction of a previous double eyelid operation (แก้ไขตาสองชั้น). In general terms, the crease is formed either with a full incision in the lid or, where the lid suits it, with stitches placed without an incision; the stitch-only approach may not hold as long. A fresh crease often sits higher than it will end up and relaxes over several months, so the first weeks are not a guide to the final look.

Because her profile pairs double eyelid revision with ptosis correction, raise both if a crease made by another surgeon has turned out uneven or one lid now looks heavier than the other. A lid that sits low needs a different repair from a crease that is simply misplaced. Bring the date of the first operation, whether it was incisional or stitch-based, and any operation notes. For background, see double eyelid surgery.

Nose augmentation and alar base reduction

Her treatment experience pairs nose augmentation (เสริมจมูก) with alar trimming (ตัดปีกจมูก), and you can ask about either one or both together. Our Asian rhinoplasty guide covers augmentation, in which the bridge or tip is built up either with your own cartilage, harvested from inside the nose (septum), the ear or a rib, or with an implant, most often silicone or ePTFE. Cartilage and implants differ in how they feel, how likely they are to become infected and how they hold up over the years. Augmentation is one of the areas her profile lists, so ask Dr. Orawan directly which she would choose for your bridge and tip, and why. Alar base reduction makes wide nostrils narrower, working through small incisions at the point where each nostril joins the cheek.

General guidance from our rhinoplasty guide: most nose operations are done under general anaesthesia, and the splint on the outside of the nose normally comes off 5–10 days after surgery. The bulk of the visible swelling goes down over 2–3 weeks, while subtle refinement at the tip can continue for 12 months or more. Implant-specific risks include infection, movement of the implant and extrusion, any of which can mean the implant has to come out. The guide suggests allowing 7–10 days in Thailand.

Revision rhinoplasty and correction of nasal deformity

Nose revision with structural correction by the open technique (แก้ไขจมูก แก้โครงสร้างเทคนิคโอเพ่น) is in her treatment experience, and correction of nasal deformity (จมูกผิดรูป) is among her stated areas of expertise. The open approach adds a short incision across the columella, the skin bridge between the nostrils, so the surgeon can see and rebuild the nasal framework directly; that scar generally fades well.

Our rhinoplasty guide explains that a revision is normally not attempted until a full year or more has gone by after the earlier nose operation, so the swelling can settle. It also notes that revisions tend to be more involved: scar tissue lengthens the operation, and ear or rib cartilage may be needed. The revision rhinoplasty guide suggests 10–14 days in Thailand. If you are coming for a revision, ask Dr. Orawan for examples of comparable cases she has treated, and what she would do about any implant left from your earlier surgery.

Tracheal shave (Adam's apple reduction)

On the hospital's English-language Adam's apple shaving page, Dr. Orawan is named as one of the plastic surgeons who perform it at the hospital. Our guide calls the operation tracheal shave (chondrolaryngoplasty) and suggests 5–7 days in Thailand. It can be planned as a single operation or as one part of a wider facial feminization surgery plan. It is the only gender-affirming operation for which an official page names her. Yanhee separately offers facial feminization and voice feminization, and its Pride Center covers male-to-female and female-to-male care, with services running from psychiatric consultation and hormone treatment to planning the surgery and caring for patients afterwards. If you want more than one of these, list them all in a single request so our team can ask Yanhee how the stages would be sequenced and which surgeons would take part.

Cleft lip and palate

Her Thai profile lists correction of cleft lip and cleft palate (แก้ไขปากแหว่งเพดานโหว่) as an area of expertise, but it does not say what cleft-related surgery she offers at Yanhee, and our site has no dedicated guide to it. If you have a lip or nose concern that follows an earlier cleft repair, describe it in your request and have the records of previous operations to hand; our team will confirm the scope with the hospital.

Photos can get a first opinion started remotely, but whatever Dr. Orawan suggests from photos is only a draft until she has seen you in person in Bangkok. The questions below are grouped by the operations her profiles list.

Ptosis or double eyelid surgery

• Is my problem a low lid edge (ptosis), surplus skin, the crease itself, or more than one of these?
• If it is ptosis, how well does my lid-lifting muscle work, and how does that change the method you would use?
• For a crease, would you use an incision or stitches alone, and what durability can I expect from each on my lids?
• Which eye conditions or vision problems do you need to rule out first?
• Local anaesthesia with sedation, or general anaesthesia?
• If the two sides settle differently, when would you assess that, and what might a correction involve, including cost?

Nose augmentation or alar base reduction

• Open or closed approach, and why for my nose?
• An implant, my own cartilage or a combination? If cartilage, from which site?
• For an implant, which material, and what is the plan if it ever needs to come out?
• Should my breathing be assessed as part of the plan?
• On which day would you remove the splint, and from what point could I fly home?

Revision rhinoplasty

• What structural problem do you see from my first operation, and what can realistically change?
• Has enough time passed since that operation?
• Is my septum still usable as a graft source, or would rib or ear cartilage be needed?
• Given the scar tissue from before, how long after the operation should I remain in Bangkok before flying?

Tracheal shave

• Where will the scar sit, and how noticeable is it likely to be?
• Is there any effect on my voice to consider?
• Can it be done in the same session as other procedures, and with which other surgeons?

Whatever the procedure

• Roughly how many of this exact operation do you carry out in a year?
• Who looks after the anaesthesia, and do you expect me to spend a night in hospital?
• What exactly is in the price? According to Yanhee, the package price for most of its cosmetic operations usually bundles the surgeon's fee, operating theatre, room, nursing care, meals and medicines. Ask for the itemised list for your own operation and for anything it leaves out.
• After I fly home, who handles my follow-up, and how would any further surgery be arranged?

Yanhee is the only hospital where Dr. Orawan's current practice is documented, so the support available to overseas patients is Yanhee's. Yanhee's address, for your taxi or airport transfer: 454 Charansanitwong Road (Soi 90), Bang Phlat district, Bangkok 10700; see the Yanhee International Hospital profile for more on the facility. The founders' first venture, in 1984, was an outpatient practice named the Yanhee Polyclinic; today the hospital states a capacity of 400 beds. On accreditation, Joint Commission International's online directory shows Yanhee as an accredited hospital (Hospital Program), and the latest JCI certificate reproduced on Yanhee's website runs to 12 March 2029.

What Yanhee says it offers international patients, by stage:

• Before you travel: Yanhee runs a free online pre-assessment, checked by one of its international coordinators, which can sit alongside the photos Dr. Orawan's team asks for. Yanhee can also book paid road transfers for the airport run and for trips from your hotel to the hospital, and Yanhee's partner hotels give lower rates if your room is part of a hospital package.
• On arrival: you check in at Yanhee's first-floor International Counter, where an interpreter is allocated to you and remains at your side through tests in other departments and your eyelid or nose assessment, at no extra fee, and Yanhee also posts English-speaking coordinators at key points inside the hospital.
• During an inpatient stay: members of the international liaison team call on admitted patients daily, and Yanhee can assist with a visa extension if treatment means you must remain in the country longer.
• Paying: Yanhee accepts major foreign currencies in cash, as well as cards (credit or debit) and bank transfers.
• Leaving and afterwards: you go home with paperwork covering your stay (a discharge summary), your fitness to travel (a fit-to-fly letter) and a medical certificate. After that, Yanhee coordinates follow-up by email, and the photo updates you send are passed to Dr. Orawan.

Yanhee also keeps an office in Yangon, Myanmar.

Planning your stay. Typical stays from our procedure guides are 5–7 days for ptosis correction, double eyelid surgery or tracheal shave; 7–10 days for rhinoplasty, nose augmentation or alar base reduction; and 10–14 days for revision rhinoplasty. When operations are combined, the longest recovery sets the length of the trip. A changeable return ticket is sensible, since healing differs from person to person and it is Dr. Orawan who clears you for the flight home.

Language. Thai and English are the languages Yanhee's profile gives for Dr. Orawan. Interpreting is available for other languages, but the hospital does not publish a list of them, so name your language in your request and our team will check.

Practical points. After Dr. Orawan operates on your eyelids, our blepharoplasty guide suggests having sunglasses with you, skipping pools and eye cosmetics until she gives the all-clear, and checking with her which eye drops to use on the flight. For nose surgery, glasses should not rest on the bridge, and contact sports and hard exercise wait for as long as the surgeon advises; clothes that open at the front are easier to put on. It helps to travel with a companion; if you cannot, ask Yanhee's international team what help it offers.

Gather these before you contact us. Please keep medical details and photos to two channels, the booking form and our WhatsApp line, and hold photos back until Dr. Orawan's team asks for them.

Whatever you are asking about

• in a sentence or two, the eyelid, nose or neck concern and what you would like to be different
• your likely travel window, and whether your first meeting should be online or face to face in Bangkok
• your health: diagnosed conditions, every medicine you take (hormone therapy and supplements count), any allergy, and your smoking, vaping or other nicotine habits
• past operations, particularly on your eyelids, nose or neck, with the year and hospital if you know them

Eyelids: ptosis, double eyelid surgery or revision

• well-lit front photos without make-up: one one taken eyes-open while you look directly into the lens, and one with the eyes softly closed
• a close-up of both eyes in one frame, so the height of each lid can be compared
• any eye diagnosis you have been given (dry eye, glaucoma and thyroid eye disease are the key ones for lid surgery), plus whether you rely on glasses or contacts
• for a revision: the date of the earlier operation, whether it used an incision or stitches alone, and the operation notes if you have them

Nose: augmentation, alar base reduction or revision

• a set of nose photos in plain, even lighting: straight on, left profile, right profile, and one looking up at the nostrils from underneath
• any past injury to the nose, blocked breathing or allergies
• for a revision: the date of each previous operation, whether an implant was placed and what it was made of, and operation notes if available

Tracheal shave

• front and side photos of the neck, if the team requests them
• other procedures you are planning, such as facial feminization or voice surgery, so the hospital can look at timing

Cleft-related concerns

• records of earlier cleft lip or palate surgery, where you have them
