Dr. Pakpoom Tirawattanakul

Dr. Pakpoom Tirawattanakul (Thai: นพ.ภาคภูมิ ถิรวัฒนกุล) is a male surgeon on the medical team of Masterpiece Hospital, a hospital dedicated to cosmetic surgery in the Dusit district of Bangkok. The hospital's own website calls him "Dr. Ohm" (หมอโอม), so if you meet that name in Thai-language material from the hospital, it refers to the same doctor.

One point deserves to be stated plainly before you read further. The hospital lists his primary specialty as surgery, not plastic surgery, and the profile does not mention a plastic-surgery board certification. What the profile does document is a general-surgery pathway (a Thai surgical board certificate, plus minimally invasive and laparoscopic training), a short breast augmentation course, and a place in several of the hospital's aesthetic departments. For that reason this page does not call him a plastic surgeon.

The areas the hospital links to his name are:

• Brow lift: the hospital's brow lift department (แผนกศัลยกรรมยกคิ้ว). General background is on our brow lift page.
• Breast augmentation: the department for breast enlargement (แผนกศัลยกรรมเสริมหน้าอก). General background is on our breast augmentation page.
• Forehead augmentation: a department (แผนกศัลยกรรมเสริมหน้าผาก) shown on the hospital's Thai profile.
• Skin removal surgery: a department shown on the English profile only.

If one of these is why you are reading, you can ask for a consultation with Dr. Pakpoom and our patient team will carry your questions to the hospital. Our provider research methodology describes how these facts were collected and cross-checked.

Every credential below comes from the hospital's own doctor profile (Thai and English pages). Independent confirmation is the weak spot. 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. Neither outcome contradicts the profile; they just mean that, for now, these credentials rest on the hospital's word alone.

Medical degree. The hospital states a Doctor of Medicine degree from Chiang Mai University. It gives no graduation year.

Surgical board certificate. The profile shows a surgical board certificate (วุฒิบัตร) from 2017, awarded by way of the Medical Council of Thailand and numbered 2759/2560 in the Buddhist-era calendar. It also lists a general surgery board qualification linked to Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital; the start and end dates of that training are not given. In practical terms this describes specialist training in general surgery, a wide field that covers the abdomen, soft tissue and trauma care. It is a separate training route from plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Minimally invasive surgery fellowship. The Thai-language profile lists a clinical fellowship in minimally invasive surgery in the Department of Surgery at Police General Hospital, together with a Medical Council of Thailand certificate (อนุมัติบัตร) in laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic work means operating through small openings with a camera. The profile does not connect this training to aesthetic procedures, and no dates or duration are shown for the fellowship.

Trauma course. The same page includes the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) student course, a course run in connection with the American College of Surgeons, with Thailand's Royal College of Surgeons also named. ATLS is a short emergency-care course; it is not a specialty qualification.

Breast augmentation course. He is recorded as having taken a basic female breast augmentation training programme at TNC Clinic in Thailand. The profile gives no dates, length or case numbers, so we cannot say how much hands-on experience it represents.

What is not documented. Nothing we found points to a plastic-surgery residency, professional society membership, overseas training or published papers, and we make no such claim. The profile also does not list languages spoken. A medical practice licence number is printed on the hospital profile, but because the register was out of reach we have not independently verified its status. If any of these points matter to you, put them to him directly; suggested questions are in the consultation section below.

Only one workplace is documented for Dr. Pakpoom: Masterpiece Hospital in Bangkok, where the hospital's English profile describes him as an attending surgeon across its brow lift, breast augmentation, forehead augmentation and skin removal departments. No start date, earlier posts, teaching appointments or other clinics are published, so we cannot offer a career history beyond the training listed above.

Some facts about the setting help you form expectations. According to its about page, the business goes back to 2013 and a first site in Siam Square under the name Masterpiece Clinic; it has since moved to Sukhothai Road (building 99/19, Dusit Subdistrict, postcode 10300). It describes a six-floor hospital building holding 14 patient beds and seven operating rooms, split into four rooms used with anaesthesia and three used without.

Turning to accreditation: the American Accreditation Commission International (AACI) includes the hospital in its published register. That entry records first accreditation in February 2023, ISO 9001:2015 certification from March 2023 and ISO 7101:2023 from March 2026, and it displays no expiry dates. We found no JCI listing. AACI accreditation and ISO certificates describe the organisation, not any individual surgeon's skill. For a wider look at the facility and its other surgeons, see our Masterpiece Hospital page.

The hospital's general service list also names breast augmentation and forehead augmentation among its face and body services, which fits the departments attached to Dr. Pakpoom's profile.

This section keeps two things apart: what the hospital documents about Dr. Pakpoom, and general information about each procedure. The general notes are drawn from our own procedure pages and tell you nothing about his personal technique, results or preferences, because none of those are published.

### Brow lift

Documented: the hospital lists him under its brow lift department.

In general: lifting the brows (sometimes called a forehead lift) repositions low or heavy eyebrows and may soften horizontal forehead lines. People often consider it when heavy brows make the eyes look tired or when brow position crowds the upper eyelid. Because brow position and eyelid skin affect each other, a surgeon normally examines both before proposing anything. Some patients end up discussing double eyelid surgery alongside or instead of a brow lift, which is a decision for the consultation. For planning, our brow lift page suggests a week to ten days away from home, with the final figure set by the technique used and your surgeon. Dr. Pakpoom's profile does not name the brow lift techniques he uses, so ask which approach he would suggest for you and why.

### Breast augmentation

Documented: the hospital lists him under its breast augmentation department, and his profile records the basic female breast augmentation course at TNC Clinic.

In general: breast augmentation increases breast size or alters shape, usually through silicone or saline implants, and occasionally by moving fat from elsewhere on the body (see fat transfer breast augmentation). An implant adds volume rather than lift, so if the nipple sits low a surgeon may suggest a breast lift in addition or instead. Our procedure page describes an operating time of about 1 to 2 hours, usually general anaesthesia, with a day-case discharge or one night in hospital, and a common 7 to 10 days in Thailand. The same page says strenuous exercise usually resumes after about 6 weeks. Implants are not lifetime devices and many people need further surgery at some point, so the follow-up plan matters as much as the operation. If you already have implants, see breast implant revision. Implant type, incision, pocket placement and volumes for Dr. Pakpoom's patients are not published.

### Forehead augmentation

Documented: the Thai profile lists a forehead augmentation department (แผนกศัลยกรรมเสริมหน้าผาก).

In general: forehead augmentation is aimed at a flat or receding forehead that you want to look fuller in profile. Depending on the plan, the surgeon may use an implant, an injectable or the patient's own fat. We do not have a dedicated page on it yet. Forehead contouring and brow bone reduction goes the other way, reducing prominent bone, and should not be mistaken for augmentation. Ask Dr. Pakpoom which material and technique he would use for your forehead shape and what he can show you from consenting patients.

### Skin removal surgery

Documented: only the English profile lists a skin removal department, and it does not name the body areas. The Thai profile omits it. In general, surgery to remove excess skin is a broad category that can apply to the abdomen, arms, thighs or other regions. If this is why you are writing, name the body area in your message, and our team can check with the hospital which skin removal work he undertakes.

A good consultation is built around your own plan. Because his profile describes a general-surgery foundation plus short aesthetic courses, some questions are worth raising openly. Experienced surgeons expect them, and a specific answer is a healthy sign.

About his experience

• How regularly does he carry out the procedure I am considering at Masterpiece Hospital, and can he show examples from patients who agreed to share their photographs?
• Which parts of his training relate to this operation, and does he operate alone or together with colleagues from the hospital?
• How do the general-surgery training and the TNC Clinic course connect to what he does now?

If you are asking about a brow lift

• Which technique suits my brow position and forehead, and what are the alternatives?
• Might my upper eyelids need treatment too, and in what order would it happen?
• Where would scars fall, and how would they sit in my hairline?
• What risks apply to my skin type and brow shape?

If you are asking about breast augmentation

• Which implants (gel or saline, round or teardrop, smooth or textured) does he suggest for my chest shape, and what are the trade-offs?
• What incision and pocket position does he favour for me, and what happens if I later want a revision?
• What checks will I have before the flight home, and how will aftercare work once I am abroad again?
• Will I receive an implant card giving brand, size and lot details, and how would I trace them years later?

About safety and logistics

• Will a separate anaesthetist give the anaesthetic, and who watches over me if I stay overnight?
• Should something go wrong once I am home, who deals with it and who pays for corrective care?
• Is my plan fixed before I travel, or will it be finalised after he examines me in Bangkok?

Where you can, ask for the answers in writing. A surgeon who is willing to be specific is easier to plan around than one who stays vague.

Masterpiece Hospital's contact page carries an enquiry form that costs nothing and can lead to an online consultation. It also names WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE and Telegram as chat channels, with individual lines for people writing from Cambodia, Indonesia and China. Nothing we found states which languages the staff or Dr. Pakpoom speak, so please do not assume one. If you will need an interpreter, say so in your enquiry, and our team will raise it with Masterpiece Hospital.

The hospital is in Dusit, in the northern part of central Bangkok. We have no official information on an international patient desk, airport pick-up or hotel arrangements, so do not treat any of these as included. What our team can do is ask the hospital about the specifics you need and help line up your visit around the surgeon's calendar.

In general, both our brow lift and breast augmentation pages suggest budgeting a week to ten days in Thailand, so that the surgeon can look at the wounds before your flight. A usual order is consultation and any pre-operative tests, then surgery, then at least one follow-up visit. Ask your airline and, if relevant, your insurer about flying soon after an operation, and line up a doctor in your home country who can see you if something worries you later. Our patient team confirms dates with the hospital, and nothing is final until you hear back from them.

Clear information at the outset makes a first online conversation more useful. Share only what you are comfortable with; we send it to the hospital together with the request itself.

With any request

• Age, height, weight, general health, regular medicines, allergies, and any earlier operations or anaesthesia problems.
• Whether you smoke or vape, because this commonly affects healing and surgeons usually ask.
• The procedure you have in mind and what you hope to change, in a few sentences.
• The window when you could travel and the longest you can be away from home.

For a brow lift or forehead procedure

• Evenly lit face photos with a relaxed expression: straight on, both side views and both angled views, with hair pulled back so the hairline and forehead are clear.
• One photo with brows relaxed and, if you like, one showing how you usually hold them.
• Notes on previous brow, eyelid or forehead treatments, including fillers or botulinum toxin, with dates.

For breast augmentation

• Photos of your chest taken head-on, side-on and turned partway, without a bra, in plain even light.
• Your bra size right now and the shape or volume you have in mind. Reference images help start the conversation, but they are not a promise of an outcome.
• Any history of pregnancy, breastfeeding, large weight changes, breast lumps, family breast cancer, or recent mammogram or ultrasound reports.
• If you already have implants: type, size, date, the surgeon or clinic, and any implant card.

For skin removal enquiries

• Photos of the area, your weight history and the date your weight settled, since surgeons commonly want a stable weight first.

If you cannot supply everything, send what you have; our team will request whatever else the hospital needs.
