Dr. Pojanan Jomkoh

Dr. Pojanan Jomkoh (Thai name: แพทย์หญิงพจนรรณ จอมเกาะ) appears among the surgeons of The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital, which is given over to plastic surgery. The Thai wording on her entry, ศัลยแพทย์ตกแต่งเฉพาะทาง, translates as specialist plastic surgeon, and the title in front of her name shows that she is a woman. The same entry gives her nickname as หมอโดนัท (roughly, Doctor Donut), a name some Thai-speaking patients may use when they look for her.

Geographically the hospital belongs to Bangkok's Don Mueang district, on the northern side of the city. Its About Us page states 29 beds and 12 operating rooms, and it describes three sites in all: the hospital itself and clinic branches in Lat Phrao and Pattaya. Our directory lists 16 surgeons for the hospital, and Dr. Pojanan is one of them. Searches turned up no second workplace for her.

All of this rests on a single official page. Several things a patient might want to know are not on it: a list of procedures for her personally, society memberships and spoken languages. We say so openly rather than fill the gap. For how each fact on a profile is sourced and labelled, see our provider research methodology.

The hospital profile records two stages of education.

Medical degree. Dr. Pojanan has a Doctor of Medicine (พ.บ.) with honours (เกียรตินิยม) from Phramongkutklao College of Medicine, Mahidol University. No graduation year is given.

Plastic surgery training. In the training certificates part of the profile, plastic surgery (ศัลยศาสตร์ตกแต่ง) at Lerdsin Hospital (โรงพยาบาลเลิดสิน) is shown for 2016 to 2020.

What the profile leaves out. The Lerdsin line is not described as a residency, and no board certificate is named. For that reason we call it plastic surgery training and make no claim of board certification. Two research titles are also listed on the profile, one about a facial subject and one about imaging of clavicle flaps. Because no published paper is cited for either, we do not treat them as publications.

Should her board status weigh on your decision, have the patient team obtain a written answer from the hospital first. The licence number can also be searched on the Thai Medical Council register by anyone. The number here is what the hospital publishes; it can be looked up on the Medical Council of Thailand's public register at checkmd.tmc.or.th.

One position is documented for Dr. Pojanan: her current place among the specialist surgeons of The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital. Her profile gives no start year, no earlier employers, no teaching posts and no society memberships, and we found no listing for her at another hospital.

Since no years of practice, case volumes or outcome figures are published, we give none. Sensible questions for the hospital, relayed by our team, are how often she carries out the operation you are weighing and whether any before-and-after photographs exist. Only the clinic can release such images, and only where the patient has consented.

The details we do have describe the hospital rather than her. Its team page refers to about thirty specialist surgeons and about thirty anaesthetists working with the hospital, and says each patient is paired with one surgeon and one anaesthetist. It also states that around 85% of its clients are Thai and around 15% international. None of that tells you what Dr. Pojanan personally does day to day.

No procedure list is published under Dr. Pojanan's name. A plastic surgeon can work across a wide range of operations, so the label alone does not tell us which ones she performs, and we will not attach a procedure to her until an official page does.

The documented material concerns the hospital's service range. Its official pages cover rhinoplasty, double eyelid surgery, chin augmentation, facelift, hair transplant, breast augmentation, liposuction and tummy tuck. On its About Us page the hospital adds that foreign clients tend to pick breast, nose, liposuction, body-contouring, abdominal and facelift surgery.

Using this information. Suppose one of these operations is what you want. The practical question is then whether Dr. Pojanan would be your surgeon, and it can go to the hospital via our team. That hospital works with many surgeons, so booking there does not automatically mean booking her.

General background on two commonly requested operations. The notes below describe the procedures in general and say nothing about Dr. Pojanan's own practice.

• *Rhinoplasty.* Usually under general anaesthesia and typically lasting 1.5 to 3 hours. Visitors usually plan 7 to 10 days in Thailand per our procedure page, which also puts the bulk of visible swelling at 2 to 3 weeks and adds that fine tip changes can carry on for 12 months or more. Reduction work and augmentation work use different techniques and carry different risks, so know which you are asking about. Our rhinoplasty guide goes further.
• *Breast augmentation.* Generally done under general anaesthesia; the operation itself typically takes 1 to 2 hours. Our procedure page suggests many people are back at a desk after about 1 week and exercising strenuously after about 6 weeks, always on the surgeon's advice, with 7 to 10 days spent in Thailand. Choices include silicone or saline implants and, less often, a transfer of the patient's own fat, which tends to give a more modest increase. Risks include capsular contracture, implant rupture, asymmetry and the need for further surgery. Details are in our breast augmentation guide.

Whether either operation is appropriate for you is a matter for the surgeon's own assessment, and suitability needs assessment in person or by video.

With no published procedure list, scope is the first thing to pin down. Patients commonly raise points like these.

• Which operations does she carry out regularly, and would she be my operating surgeon?
• Is she board certified, and in which discipline? Her hospital profile is silent on this.
• Who is the anaesthetist, and will the same person look after me throughout? The hospital's team page describes one surgeon and one anaesthetist per patient.
• Given my anatomy, what is a realistic result, and is leaving things as they are a sensible option?
• What are the main risks, and who handles a problem that appears after my flight home?
• How many days do I need in Bangkok on either side of the operation, and when does the final review take place?
• What follow-up by video call or photographs is available when I am back home?

In general, a sound consultation covers your medical history, your current medicines and any previous operations, includes an examination in person or by video, and ends with a written plan stating what will be done and what will not. Treat any quotation or timetable as provisional until the surgeon has reviewed your own photographs and records. Our team does not give medical advice, so clinical questions go to the hospital's surgical staff.

The hospital's address, printed in Thai on its website, is on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road (no. 287) within Sanam Bin subdistrict (postcode 10210). Its floor guide puts reception and outpatient services on floor one, skin and aesthetic care on floor two, the operating theatres with their recovery area on floor three, and ordinary and VIP inpatient wards on floors five and six.

In the research we did, the hospital's official sites showed no international patient desk, no statement of languages spoken by Dr. Pojanan and no accreditation such as JCI, so none is claimed on this page. If you need an English-speaking coordinator, an interpreter, an airport transfer or help finding accommodation, ask our patient team to get each item confirmed in writing before you buy flights.

In general, visitors allow a few days in the city ahead of surgery for tests and the consultation, and a further period afterwards for dressing changes and a final check before the flight home. The surgeon decides the real length. The Bangkok page covers the city, and the hospital page outlines the facility itself.

A thorough request helps the surgical team respond with specifics instead of generalities. In general, gather the following.

• Your aim, written in a few sentences, with a few pictures of results you admire. Such images help the conversation but do not promise a similar outcome.
• Sharp, well-lit photographs of the part of the body in question. For the face, one straight-on picture plus a left and a right profile, expression relaxed; for the body, shots from the front, side and rear, standing upright against a plain backdrop.
• Your health background: medical conditions, allergies, medicines and supplements, smoking or vaping, and earlier operations, particularly near the area concerned.
• Records of earlier surgery, for example an operation note or implant card, if you are asking about a revision.
• Height, weight and basic body measurements, which matter most for breast and body procedures.
• Your time away, that is, the longest stretch you can spend outside your home country.

Send images privately to our patient team and avoid posting them anywhere public. Decisions about what suits you rest with the surgeon, not with our team.
