Dr. Patnapa Tosuksri

Dr. Patnapa Tosuksri is listed in the physician directory run by Bangkok Hospital Siriroj, a private hospital in Phuket. The directory states plastic surgery as the primary specialty and names the hospital's own Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute (PPSI) as the place of work. No sub-specialty is shown.

Facility details sit on the Bangkok Hospital Siriroj page; the site is in the Wichit area of Mueang Phuket District, and some travellers still use the older names Siriroj International Hospital or Phuket International Hospital. For the wider trip, our Phuket guide covers the destination.

Everything specific to Dr. Patnapa on this page comes from that single hospital profile, checked by our researchers on 2 October 2026. It documents a name, a specialty, a workplace, two qualifications and two languages. It does not name any operation, interest area, society, publication or licence number, so we make no claim about them. In particular we do not describe the surgeon as a specialist in one particular operation, and years in practice and case counts are also absent, so we quote neither.

Anyone hoping to see Dr. Patnapa can send a request through the form for this surgeon. Our coordinators pass it to the hospital. The form asks for a slot and does not secure one; a visit exists only after the hospital proposes a date and we confirm it back to you.

The hospital's profile lists two qualifications, each with a year:

• Doctor of Medicine, Srinakharinwirot University, Thailand (2013). The basic medical degree.
• Plastic Surgery, Chiang Mai University, Thailand (2023). Listed as the plastic surgery training qualification.

Put simply, the published record shows a medical degree finished in 2013 and plastic surgery training finished at a Thai university in 2023. The profile does not say how the training was organised, whether there was a fellowship abroad, or whether any further certificate was earned. We have not guessed at any of this, and we do not apply labels such as board certification that the hospital never used.

Two checks could not be completed. No licence number is shown on this profile; the licence can be looked up on the Medical Council of Thailand's public register at checkmd.tmc.or.th. That says nothing against the surgeon; the licence can be looked up on the Medical Council of Thailand's public register at checkmd.tmc.or.th. The national plastic surgery society offers only a search form, which we could not run, so no membership is stated.

Should either point weigh on your decision, have our coordinators obtain the current licence details and any society membership from the hospital in writing before you book flights. Our provider research methodology explains how facts are gathered and labelled.

One post is documented: a plastic surgery role inside the institute that the hospital calls PPSI. The profile gives no start date, earlier hospitals, teaching posts or management duties, so none are listed.

The setting is described on the hospital's own pages. PPSI is in Building 5, on the fourth floor, and is shown as open every day from 08.00 to 16.00. The hospital states that most of the plastic surgery patients seen there are overseas visitors, and its history page calls its plastic and aesthetic centre the largest in Phuket. We pass these on as the hospital's description of itself, not as something we have measured. Published hours can be revised, so check them once your request has been acknowledged.

The hospital gives 1982 as its founding year. Alongside plastic surgery, its centre and clinic list includes aesthetic and anti-aging care, eye, ear, nose and throat, women's health, children's health, dental care, an intensive care unit and haemodialysis. A patient planning surgery may find a full-service hospital reassuring, but the list describes the hospital and not any individual surgeon's work.

The only dated facts about Dr. Patnapa personally are the two qualification years above. How long the surgeon has practised, or how many operations have been done, is not published, and we do not estimate it.

Dr. Patnapa's personal entry names no operation. A specialty label cannot substitute for a list of operations, so we attach no procedure to this surgeon.

The hospital does publish the range of the institute as a whole. Six headings organise its service list: face, breast, body contouring, feminine wellness with intimate procedures, gender affirmation, and weight-loss with metabolic surgery. That is useful for understanding what the unit offers. It cannot tell you which of those operations Dr. Patnapa personally carries out, since a unit with several surgeons usually divides the work.

Facial surgery. If your interest is the face, general guides are available for rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, brow lift, facelift, otoplasty, chin augmentation, cheek augmentation and facial fat grafting. In general, facial operations are planned around proportion and the way structures such as the nose, eyelids or jawline relate to one another, and a good surgeon explains what a given change can and cannot do.

Breast surgery. For the breast area we have general guides to augmentation, lift, reduction and implant removal. Patients commonly ask about scars, the effect on sensation, and whether a later revision could be needed, so raise those at the consultation.

Body contouring. Guides exist for the tummy tuck, plus liposuction and the arm, thigh and body lifts. These operations generally depend on a stable weight and good skin quality, and your own suitability can only be judged after an examination.

These pages are general information, not statements about Dr. Patnapa's own practice. The practical route is to put your chosen operation in the request and ask our coordinators to get a written reply on who would lead your case, Dr. Patnapa or a colleague at the institute.

With so little published about this surgeon's work, the appointment itself becomes the main source of detail. Going in with written questions tends to produce clearer answers than relying on the name of a procedure alone.

• Who will operate, and who will assist? Check that the person you meet at the consultation is also the one holding the instruments.
• How often is this exact operation done at the hospital? A direct question deserves a direct answer, and the answer can help you compare surgeons.
• Is this the right operation for my aim? A surgeon may suggest a smaller, different or later procedure, or advise against surgery.
• What anaesthesia is planned, and where will it happen? In general, many cosmetic operations use general anaesthesia, but the plan depends on the procedure and on your health.
• Which risks apply to me? All surgery carries risk, including infection, bleeding, delayed healing, scarring, anaesthetic reactions and the chance of further surgery. Ask how your medical history, medicines, smoking and earlier operations change them.
• What will my recovery look like, and when is flying safe? The surgeon sets this for your case after assessment; our procedure guides give only general ranges.
• What happens if something goes wrong after I leave Thailand? Ask who you contact, how photos or reports are reviewed remotely, and what arrangements exist if you need treatment at home.

When you speak with more than one surgeon, put the same questions to each and keep the answers in writing so that you can compare them calmly. Be wary of anyone who promises a particular result, because outcomes differ from person to person.

Spoken languages are listed as English and Thai. That is all the profile says, so whether other institute staff speak further languages is unknown to us.

By the hospital's own account, foreign patients form the majority at its plastic surgery institute, so overseas visitors are a routine part of the work. Even so, nothing in the hospital pages we read mentions any international patient desk, airport pick-up, interpreters or recovery accommodation. Put each question in your enquiry rather than taking any of them for granted. Public pages give the institute's telephone as 076-361-888, extensions 3418 and 3419, but our patient team normally makes first contact so the message reaches the right department.

On accreditation, the Joint Commission International directory carries an entry for Siriroj under the Hospital Program dated from mid-December 2012, with no end date displayed, and the hospital's own site makes the same claim. This applies to the hospital as an organisation. It is not a rating of Dr. Patnapa or of any other surgeon.

Some general habits help anyone travelling for an operation. Plan to stay in Phuket for as long as your surgeon advises, keep your flights flexible until you have been reviewed, bring a companion if possible, and check whether your travel insurance covers complications of elective surgery. Take copies of your operation notes and medication list home with you. Our page for Bangkok Hospital Siriroj has more on the facility, and the Phuket guide covers getting around.

The more complete your opening message, the more useful the hospital's answer can be, and the fewer follow-up emails you will need. Coordinators confirm the exact list, but requests usually include:

• Your aim in your own words. Describe what you want to change. Pictures of results you admire can start the discussion, though they cannot predict your own outcome.
• Clear photographs of the area. Use even lighting and no filters or retouching. For the face, front and side views are typical; for breast or body questions the team will explain which angles are appropriate and how to send them privately.
• Medical history. Cover earlier operations, long-term conditions, allergies, anaesthetic problems and any clotting history.
• Medicines and supplements. List blood thinners, hormone treatment and anything taken for weight management.
• Smoking, vaping and alcohol. These can affect healing, and the surgeon will want to know.
• Earlier cosmetic treatment or implants. Give dates, the clinic or surgeon if known, and any operative notes, implant cards or scan reports.
• Height, weight and recent weight change. These matter most for breast and body contouring questions.
• Travel window. Note the dates you could be in Phuket and how many days you could stay.

Share only what the team asks for, and send it through the channel they give you instead of public messaging apps.
