Dr. Poonsak Sumritmanoporn

Dr. Poonsak Sumritmanoporn is a plastic surgeon named on the websites of two hospitals in the Pattaya area of Chonburi province: Bangkok Hospital Pattaya and Jomtien Hospital. Bangkok Hospital Pattaya shows him as a plastic surgeon in its Dermatology and Plastic Surgery Center. Jomtien Hospital lists him under plastic surgery.

English and Thai are the two languages given for him. The hospital profiles we read name no individual procedures for him, so no particular operation is credited to him here. Instead it covers his listings, the training one hospital documents, and ways to raise your planned procedure with him.

For the hospitals themselves, see Bangkok Hospital Pattaya and Jomtien Hospital. To find out whether he treats your concern, request a consultation through our patient team. Nothing is booked until the hospital confirms.

The Bangkok Hospital Pattaya profile lists three training entries, all in Thailand:

• 1991: Doctor of Medicine degree, awarded at Chiang Mai University.
• Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University, 1997.
• Plastic Surgery, Siriraj Hospital (Faculty of Medicine), Mahidol University, 2002.

In order, that is a medical degree, then general surgical training, then plastic surgery training. We describe the last two as training because the profile names the discipline and the institution rather than a formal certificate title.

The Jomtien Hospital page shows the department as "Diplomate Board of Plastic Surgery". That wording is the hospital's own, and the page does not name the board, so we do not say which body issued it.

Both hospital profiles give a medical licence number, 17048. 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. Whichever surgeon you choose, confirm the licence yourself before committing to surgery. Our research methodology describes how we treat sources of this kind.

Two practice locations are documented.

Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. The hospital's site places him among the plastic surgeons of its Dermatology and Plastic Surgery Center. Within D building, the hospital places plastic surgery on the second floor, with dermatology below it.

Jomtien Hospital. The hospital page lists him under plastic surgery and shows a clinic on Wednesday and Thursday from 13:00 to 15:00. Clinic hours of this kind can change, so ask the hospital to confirm the slot.

We found no academic posts, society memberships, publications or awards for him, and we claim none. Years in practice and case numbers are likewise left out, because neither hospital profile gives them.

His hospital profiles give a specialty, plastic surgery, and no individual operations. A specialty label cannot prove that he performs any given procedure, so no procedure page is linked to him as a documented area.

For context, the Bangkok Hospital Pattaya plastic surgery centre lists breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, facelift, eyelid surgery, liposuction, tummy tuck and alar reduction among its services. That list describes the facility, not what Dr. Poonsak personally performs.

If one operation is on your mind, have the patient team check with the hospital that he carries it out, and do so before booking flights. For general background first, our guides cover breast augmentation, facelift, blepharoplasty, liposuction and tummy tuck. Treat them as general reading only; suitability for any operation is decided at an examination.

His procedure list is not published, so the most useful first step is to ask him directly. Questions worth raising:

• Do you perform this operation yourself, and at which hospital would it take place?
• Between your two hospitals, which is the better setting for my procedure and my health history?
• Who gives the anaesthetic, and where would I recover?
• Given my history, which risks and recovery steps apply to me, and is there anything that would make you advise against surgery?
• What follow-up is planned, and who can I contact if a problem arises after I fly home?
• What belongs in the written treatment plan, and which costs sit inside the quote?

Ask for the answers in writing. A sound consultation can end in a clear no as well as a yes.

Overseas patients at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya are served by a dedicated international centre whose interpreters cover more than 20 languages. The hospital lists help with insurance claims, repatriation, hotel reservations, embassy and immigration matters, and booking appointments ahead. Hospital staff can pick a patient up on arrival at the airport and take them to a hotel the patient has named; at the hospital, someone assists with registration and walks the patient to the right department. There is also a round-the-clock service under which doctors can see a patient in their hotel room. The street address is Sukhumvit Road, Km. 143, Banglamung, Chonburi.

For Jomtien Hospital we have no verified research on international services, so ask the patient team what support is available there.

Dr. Poonsak's own profile lists English and Thai. Check beforehand that your consultation will be held in a language you are comfortable with.

A well-prepared request usually gets a quicker, more useful reply. Have these ready:

• A brief description of the operation you are considering and the result you hope for.
• Recent, well-lit photographs taken from whichever angles the team requests.
• Your medical background: earlier surgery, allergies, regular medication, smoking, and any long-term condition such as diabetes or a bleeding or clotting disorder.
• Operative notes and dates for any previous surgery in the same area.
• Your height and weight, where relevant.
• When you could fly, and for how many days.

The surgeon decides what is needed and may ask for further information or an in-person assessment.
