Dr. Prasit Mahakit

Dr. Prasit Mahakit (นพ.ประสิทธิ์ มหากิจ) is an ear, nose and throat (ENT) physician working in Bangkok. His BNH Hospital profile names facial plastic and reconstructive surgery as one of his fields, and this site therefore lists him in its facial plastic surgery (ENT) category.

Across the two hospital profiles we reviewed, the fields listed are otolaryngology, family medicine, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, and ENT sleep medicine. He appears on the doctor lists of BNH Hospital, in its Ear Nose Throat Department, and of Sikarin Hospital, in its ENT Center.

There is a gap patients should know about. Neither profile spells out which cosmetic operations he performs, so we attribute no named operation to him here. Should you have one operation in mind, ask our team to find out from the hospital whether he accepts that kind of case.

To begin, request a consultation. Each request is read by a person on our team, and nothing is reserved automatically.

What the hospital profiles say about his training:

• Medical degree: the BNH Hospital profile gives his Doctor of Medicine as coming from Prince of Songkla University.
• Specialty board: a Thai board certificate in otolaryngology; the Sikarin Hospital profile places this at Phramongkutklao Hospital.
• Research fellowship: Research Fellow in Laryngology at Vanderbilt University in the United States (Sikarin Hospital profile).
• Professional body: the Sikarin profile mentions the Thai royal college for ENT physicians (ราชวิทยาลัย โสต ศอ นาสิกแพทย์). His membership status is reported as stated on his profile.

What remains unconfirmed: a security page stopped our automated check of the register, so his licence is not independently verified. Years of training are not published, and neither profile describes a residency in plastic surgery. The board training that is documented is in otolaryngology. A patient who wants to check his licence can look him up on the Medical Council's public register. Our research methodology explains how we treat items we could not verify.

The profiles describe him as a current ENT physician at BNH Hospital and at Sikarin Hospital, and as a former ENT physician at Phramongkutklao Hospital. Dates of appointment, caseload and total years in practice are not published, so we give none.

Clinic hours printed on the profiles are Thursday 16:00-19:00 at BNH Hospital, and Tuesday 18:00-20:00 with Saturday and Sunday 09:00-12:00 at Sikarin Hospital. These are the hospitals' own listings and may change. Since the sessions fall in the evening or at weekends, a visitor planning a short trip should ask our team to confirm that a given date is realistic.

The fields named by the hospitals are ENT (otolaryngology), facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, family medicine and ENT sleep medicine. No individual operations are listed on either profile.

In general, patients see an ENT-trained facial plastic surgeon about the nose, and about concerns where shape and function overlap, such as a blocked airway. Our background guides to rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty describe what those operations involve. Reading them is not a statement that Dr. Prasit offers them; use them as context and ask whether he accepts your kind of case.

If your main concern is snoring, breathing or sleep rather than appearance, the ENT sleep medicine entry may be the relevant one, and the hospital can say which of those problems he assesses.

Because neither profile lists operations, begin by asking about scope: is your concern one he treats, and at which of his two hospitals? In general, a consultation is more useful when you cover:

• what you want to change, in both appearance and function;
• earlier operations, nasal or facial injuries, and any trouble breathing;
• the medicines you take, allergies and other health conditions;
• the type of anaesthesia proposed, the expected length of hospital stay, and what check-ups are needed before you fly;
• the risks that apply to you personally, and the plan if a revision operation ever became necessary;
• who looks after you once you are back home.

Treat any price or promised outcome with caution until a doctor has assessed you in person or by video. We show neither for him because nothing is documented. Suitability for any operation depends on an examination by the surgeon.

BNH Hospital's profile lists Thai and English; the Sikarin Hospital profile adds Chinese. Both hospitals are in Bangkok, and our Bangkok guide covers general travel information.

We have not documented whether either hospital runs an international patient desk, holds accreditation, or provides interpreters, so those points are unconfirmed. Our team can ask each hospital before you commit to travel.

A clear description helps the hospital judge quickly whether an appointment is worthwhile. Useful items include:

• a brief note on your concern and the result you hope for;
• well-lit photographs from the front and both sides, if the concern is facial;
• dated details of any past surgery or injury;
• your current medicines, allergies and relevant conditions;
• reports or scans you already hold, for example a sleep study if sleep is part of the problem;
• when you might travel, and for how long you could remain.
