Dr. Pramote Manurangsee

Dr. Pramote Manurangsee (Thai: นพ.ปราโมทย์ มนูรังษี) belongs to the plastic surgery unit, in Thai ศูนย์ศัลยกรรมตกแต่ง, of Yanhee International Hospital, a private hospital whose address lies on Charansanitwong Road, in the Bang Phlat area of Bangkok. According to his English profile on the Yanhee website, he joined the hospital as a plastic surgeon in 2002. No official page we checked shows him working anywhere else at present, which is why any consultation you request with him is arranged through Yanhee.

His early career leaned towards reconstruction. Between 1992 and 1998 he trained abroad in microsurgery, hand surgery, burns care and craniofacial and maxillofacial surgery, in Taiwan, the United States, Singapore, China and Switzerland. What Yanhee lists him for today is mainly aesthetic surgery. These are the operations that official Yanhee pages connect to him:

• Face: facelift, eyelid surgery, ptosis correction for an upper lid that sits too low, chin augmentation (published as chin advancement and chin implant) and ear correction
• Breast: breast augmentation and breast lift
• Body: buttock implants, thigh lift and liposuction

Beyond these, Yanhee includes him on its butt lift, breast reconstruction and Renuvion J-Plasma pages, while his Thai profile, under treatment experience, adds hand and foot surgery, scar revision, surgery for underarm odour glands and genital surgery. The practice-areas section below explains the evidence behind each item and where that evidence stops.

He also features on the online roster of ThPRS, the national body for Thai plastic and reconstructive surgeons, which spells his name 'Pramod Manurungsi'. For languages, his Yanhee profile records Thai and English. Request a consultation with Dr. Pramote Manurangsee and our patient team will ask Yanhee about his dates, then confirm the details with you before anything is booked.

Medicine. Dr. Pramote earned his Doctor of Medicine at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok; the English Yanhee profile names King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital instead, the hospital attached to Chulalongkorn's medical faculty. The hospital's English and Thai profiles give different graduation years, so we have left the year out rather than pick one.

Plastic surgery. He trained in plastic surgery at Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, listed with the year 1993 on the English profile, and the Thai profile dates his วุฒิบัตร (Thai board certification) for plastic surgery to that same year. The Thai profile does not name the institution that awarded the certificate.

International training. Yanhee's English profile lists six periods of training abroad under the heading 'International Training':

• 1992, Taiwan: microsurgery and orthognathic (jaw) surgery at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, spelled 'Chung Gung' on the profile
• United States: craniofacial and cosmetic surgery at UCLA Medical Center
• United States: hand and microsurgery at the Kleinert Hand Center
• 1996, Singapore: hand and microsurgery at Singapore General Hospital
• 1996, China: burns, published only as 'Burns, Peking, China', without the name of a hospital
• 1998, Switzerland: maxillofacial and prosthetic surgery at Kantonsspital Basel

The English and Thai profiles are a year apart on the UCLA and Kleinert dates, so we show those two without a year.

Later cosmetic training. The Thai profile adds four more recent items without saying where they took place: silicone buttock augmentation surgery (2007), thread lifting (2012 to 2018), forehead and cheek-groove augmentation (2017) and a course in endoscopic breast augmentation (2019).

Research. One PubMed record matches him: 'Osseointegrated finger prosthesis: an alternative method for finger reconstruction' (Journal of Hand Surgery, American volume, 2000), with his affiliation given as the Division of Plastic Surgery, Lerdsin General Hospital, Bangkok. The subject fits the hand and microsurgery training listed above.

A training list shows where a surgeon learned a field; it does not tell you how often he performs a given operation now. That is a fair question to put to Dr. Pramote at consultation.

On his English Yanhee profile, 2002 is given as the year his plastic surgery post at the hospital began. Under earlier medical experience it names three hospitals, with no roles or dates: Lerdsin Hospital and Siriraj Hospital, both in Bangkok, and a third published as 'Gangkoi Hospital', which the page does not identify further. Apart from that list, the only trace of his earlier work we found is the 2000 journal paper, which places him in the Division of Plastic Surgery at Lerdsin General Hospital.

Several of Yanhee's own pages show what he does there now:

• Named surgeon on service pages. Yanhee's English pages for breast augmentation, buttocks augmentation, thigh lift, butt lift, breast reconstruction and Renuvion J-Plasma each include him in their 'Available doctors' list.
• Medical reviewer. He is named as the medical reviewer of Yanhee's English page on Motiva breast implants.
• Teaching. According to a Yanhee news item, he gave a lecture on techniques for enlarging the male genitals at RASP 2025, held on 26 August 2025; RASP is the Ramathibodi Annual Symposium of Plastic Surgery, and this was its 19th meeting. Yanhee's Thai page on penile enlargement with artificial tissue also credits him as the source of its information.

His Thai profile puts case counts next to several of his procedures. Those totals come from the hospital alone and we could not check them against any independent source, so they are left out of this profile. If numbers matter to you, put the question to Dr. Pramote himself: roughly how many of your chosen operation does he carry out in a year?

Each area below is linked to Dr. Pramote because an official Yanhee page names him for it: the list of treatment experience on his Thai profile, the 'Procedures Performed' tabs on his Korean-language Yanhee profile (an older page that is still live), or the 'Available doctors' block on one of Yanhee's English service pages. The general notes summarise our own procedure guides and describe what usually happens; whether an operation suits you depends on his assessment of your case.

Breast augmentation

Dr. Pramote is one of the names in the 'Available doctors' block of Yanhee's breast augmentation page, and augmentation also features on his Thai and Korean-language profiles. His Thai profile records an endoscopic breast augmentation course in 2019, and he is the named reviewer of Yanhee's Motiva implant page, although no page says which implants he uses. As general background, most augmentations rely on a silicone-gel or saline implant; a smaller number use the patient's own fat, moved from another area. The main decisions are the implant's shape and surface, the route of insertion (a cut in the fold under the breast, along the lower areolar border, or through the armpit) and whether the device goes on top of the chest muscle or partly under it. Many implants need replacing or removing at some later point, and a rare lymphoma known as BIA-ALCL is more often linked to certain textured surfaces. With that in mind, ask which brands and surfaces he offers, which incision he suggests for your chest, and how follow-up and imaging work once you are home. Our breast augmentation guide uses 7–10 days in Thailand as a general planning figure.

Breast lift

Breast lift surgery is listed on his Korean-language profile. In general, mastopexy tightens a sagging breast by trimming stretched skin and moving the nipple and areola higher. It changes shape more than size, which is why some patients pair it with an implant, either in one operation or in two stages. The more lift required, the longer the scar: a circle around the areola where the droop is slight, an added vertical 'lollipop' line where it is moderate, or an anchor pattern that also runs along the fold. Ask whether he would combine a lift with an implant for you or stage them, and which scar he expects. For a lift, our breast lift guide suggests setting aside roughly 10–14 days in Thailand.

Buttock implants

Yanhee's buttocks augmentation page, which covers silicone implants, lists him as one of its surgeons, and his Thai profile records training in silicone buttock augmentation surgery in 2007. Our buttock implants page has no full guide yet, so put the practical questions to him directly: the implant type and where it sits, where the incision lies, any limits on sitting and what they mean for a long flight, and how problems would be handled after you return home. He is also listed on Yanhee's butt lift page; if you are not sure whether your concern calls for an implant or a lift, describe it and ask him to advise.

Thigh lift

Yanhee's thigh lift page lists him among its available surgeons. A thigh lift removes loose skin that liposuction cannot tighten on its own. Ask where the scar will sit, whether liposuction is part of the plan and when he expects you to be fit to fly; as a rough guide, our thigh lift page allows 10–14 days in Thailand.

Liposuction

Liposuction appears on his Korean-language profile. As general guidance, it is a contouring operation for stubborn pockets of fat, not a way to lose weight; it tends to suit people who have held a steady weight for some time, and it leaves loose skin as it is. Our guide notes that taking out large amounts in a single sitting adds risk (fluid shifts, bleeding and clots among them), so surgeons cap the volume according to your weight and health. On its liposuction page Yanhee mentions both tumescent and VASER, an ultrasound-assisted method; ask Dr. Pramote which he would use for your areas, how much he considers safe to remove at once, and what he recommends for clot prevention before the flight. Our liposuction guide uses 7–10 days in Thailand as a general planning figure, longer after large or combined procedures.

Facelift

His Thai profile lists facelift (ดึงหน้า) and his Korean-language profile lists face lift surgery; no official page names a particular technique for him. The Thai profile also records thread-lifting training between 2012 and 2018 and training in forehead and cheek-groove augmentation in 2017. As general guidance, a facelift lifts the deeper layers of the cheeks, jowls and jawline, usually together with the neck, and trims the skin left over. Brow position, the eyelids and fine wrinkles on the skin surface are separate concerns that a facelift alone does not address. Ask which technique he proposes and why (for example SMAS, deep plane or a mini lift), whether a neck lift is included, and how he manages a haematoma, the most common significant complication. Smoking and nicotine raise the risk of healing problems, so be open about them. For a facelift, the facelift guide on this site plans on 10–14 days in Thailand, as general guidance only.

Eyelid surgery and ptosis

The Korean-language profile includes eyelid lift surgery, and his Thai profile lists correction of a drooping eyelid muscle (แก้ไขกล้ามเนื้อตาตก). These treat different problems. Blepharoplasty trims or redistributes surplus skin and fat on the upper or lower lids; ptosis correction deals with a lid margin that itself sits too low. Yanhee's price list names both levator and frontalis operations for ptosis. In general, a levator operation works on the lid's own lifting muscle, while a frontalis procedure uses the forehead muscle to raise a lid whose muscle works poorly; which applies to you is decided when he examines how your lid moves. Tell him in advance about glaucoma, dry or irritated eyes, thyroid-related eye disease or reduced vision; each can change what is safe for you. In general, our eyelid guide allows about 5–7 days in Thailand.

Chin augmentation

'Chin Advancement and Chin Implant' is the wording used on his Korean-language profile. An implant adds projection with a device placed on the chin bone, while an advancement moves the chin bone itself forward. His published training includes orthognathic surgery at Chang Gung in 1992 and maxillofacial surgery in Basel in 1998, but no page says whether he performs jaw surgery at Yanhee, so ask if that is what you are considering. Our chin augmentation page includes a planner allowing about 5–7 days in Thailand.

Ear correction (otoplasty)

His Thai profile lists correction of ear deformities (แก้ไขหูผิดรูป). That wording covers more than cosmetic ear pinning, so describe your concern precisely: ears that stick out, a folded or misshapen ear, a difference between the two sides, or a change after injury or earlier surgery. In general, otoplasty reshapes the cartilage through an incision behind the ear, often under local anaesthesia for adults, with a soft band over the ears commonly worn overnight for several weeks while the new shape settles. Possible problems include bleeding, infection, uneven ears and partial relapse, where the ear drifts back towards its former shape. Budget roughly 5–7 days in Thailand, the general figure in our otoplasty guide.

Other areas listed for him

Yanhee names him on its breast reconstruction, butt lift and Renuvion J-Plasma pages, and his Thai profile lists hand and foot surgery for contractures, deformities and joined or extra fingers and toes, scar revision, underarm odour gland surgery and genital surgery. We do not yet have guides for these, so describe the problem fully in your request. None of Yanhee's pages connects him to gender-affirming vaginoplasty or phalloplasty; the genital-surgery material he is credited on concerns male genital enlargement. Yanhee's Pride Center lists other surgeons for gender-affirming operations, shown on our Yanhee hospital page.

A consultation turns a listing into a plan for you. You can ask for an online consultation first; we check with Yanhee whether he offers one for your procedure, and anything agreed remotely is a draft until his in-person examination in Bangkok. Separately, Yanhee runs its own free online pre-assessment, which one of its international coordinators looks at before you fly.

Questions for any operation

• About how often do you carry out this particular operation in a year, and can I see photos of comparable cases?
• Is this the right operation for my concern, or would a different or smaller procedure do?
• Where in the hospital will it take place, who gives the anaesthetic, and how many nights will I stay?
• What is in the quoted package, and what is not? According to Yanhee, its prices for most cosmetic procedures normally bundle the doctor's fees, medicines, the room, nursing, meals and operating-room charges; check which extras could still be added.
• When will you see me after surgery, and whom do I contact about a problem once I am home?

Questions for his main procedure groups

• Breast or buttock implants: brand, size, shape and surface; where the implant sits; which incision; what my implant card will record; what happens if I need a revision later.
• Breast lift: one stage or two if I also want more volume; which scar pattern; the effect on future breastfeeding.
• Facelift: which technique and why; whether a neck lift, brow lift or eyelid surgery would be combined; how smoking or nicotine affects whether I am suitable.
• Eyelids: whether my problem is excess skin, a low lid margin (ptosis) or a descended brow; for ptosis, whether a levator or frontalis operation fits my lid; how dry eye or other eye conditions change the plan.
• Thigh lift and liposuction: how much can safely be done in one session; where scars will fall; how long I wear compression; clot prevention for the flight.
• Chin or ear: implant or bone repositioning for the chin; which changes to ear shape are realistic; how long a headband is needed.

Previous surgery on the area counts too: attach the report or operation notes to your request. They help him judge what can safely be changed.

All of Dr. Pramote's documented work takes place at Yanhee International Hospital, which gives its location as Soi 90, 454 Charansanitwong Road, Bang-O subdistrict, Bang Phlat, Bangkok 10700. Yanhee describes itself as a 400-bed hospital. JCI, the international accreditor, shows Yanhee's status as accredited (Hospital Program); the certificate Yanhee publishes is valid until 12 March 2029. Accreditation looks at the hospital's systems and safety processes; it cannot tell you how any one operation will turn out.

Before you fly. Yanhee's free pre-assessment is done online and reviewed by one of its international coordinators; it can sit alongside your request for Dr. Pramote but does not replace his own consultation. Paid transfers can also be booked through Yanhee, for airport pick-up and drop-off and for the trips between hotel and hospital, and some hotels that partner with Yanhee discount their rooms when you book through a Yanhee package.

At the hospital. Registration for patients from abroad happens at the International Counter on Yanhee's first floor. From there a Yanhee interpreter goes along to every department on your schedule, and the hospital says it charges nothing extra for interpreting. English-speaking coordinators work at the main points of contact, and an international liaison team calls on inpatients daily. English is the only interpreting language Yanhee names, and Dr. Pramote's own profile names Thai and English. Patients who would rather speak Russian, Arabic or another language should flag it when writing to us, and we will put that question to Yanhee.

Paying, discharge and going home. To pay, Yanhee takes bank transfers, debit and credit cards, and cash in the major currencies. When you leave, the paperwork you receive covers a summary of your stay, a medical certificate and a certificate clearing you for air travel. File them with any implant details so your own doctor at home can see them. If an admitted patient's treatment runs longer than planned, the hospital helps with extending the visa. After you leave Thailand, follow-up is coordinated by email, and you can send healing photos to Dr. Pramote that way.

Planning your time in Bangkok. As general figures from our procedure guides: eyelid surgery and ear correction usually need about 5–7 days in Thailand, and our chin augmentation and ptosis correction pages use the same range. Breast augmentation and liposuction are planned at 7–10 days, and a facelift, breast lift or thigh lift at 10–14 days. We have no figure yet for buttock implants, so put that question to him. Having two operations at once generally lengthens the stay, and the day you fly home should wait for his check of your wounds, which is why a return ticket you can move without heavy fees makes sense.

The more Dr. Pramote knows before he sees you, the more specific his first opinion can be, whether it is given online or in Bangkok. Please keep medical details to two channels, our booking form and the WhatsApp number printed on this site, and hold your photos back until his team names the views it wants.
