Dr. Prueksapong Panomchaisawang

Dr. Prueksapong Panomchaisawang is a plastic surgeon whose documented place of work is Bangkok Hospital Siriroj in Mueang Phuket, Thailand. The hospital's English-language doctor profile gives the specialty as plastic surgery and places the surgeon in the Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute, usually shortened to PPSI.

The profile is brief, and this page is brief wherever the profile is. Here is what the hospital publishes: a medical degree, a period of plastic surgery training, two spoken languages, a photograph and the name of the institute. Here is what it does not publish: a list of operations performed, areas of special interest, society memberships, a licence number, earlier jobs or papers. None of those appear below as facts, because none could be traced to a source we were able to open.

The surgeon's gender is not stated on the English profile either, so this page refers to Dr. Prueksapong by name.

Patients choosing between plastic surgeons in Phuket will find that a thin public record is common, and it is a reason to ask direct questions rather than a reason to rule anyone out. The sections that follow set out the documented facts first and then offer general guidance on how to use a consultation to fill the gaps.

The research behind this page was last checked on 2 October 2026. Readers who want to know how evidence is collected and weighed can read the approach in our provider research methodology notes.

Two qualifications appear on the hospital's doctor page:

• Doctor of Medicine, Naresuan University, Thailand, 2016.
• Plastic surgery, Chiang Mai University, Thailand, listed with the year 2024.

In Thailand, specialist plastic surgery training comes after the medical degree, so the order of these two entries fits the usual path. That is as far as the record goes. The profile does not say whether the Chiang Mai University entry was a formal residency, a fellowship or another kind of programme, and it gives no detail about its content or length. We therefore describe it only as the profile does: plastic surgery training at Chiang Mai University, with the year 2024. We do not infer a board qualification or a particular certification from it.

What we could not verify. Two checks we normally run did not work for this profile. 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. The national plastic surgery society's online member search could not be used by our tools, so no membership is displayed either. Both gaps come from the limits of our method and say nothing about the surgeon's standing.

Registration is a fair thing to care about, and there are two simple routes. You can search the Medical Council register yourself, or you can ask the hospital to confirm in writing that the surgeon holds a current licence and which professional bodies, if any, the surgeon belongs to. Add the question to your request and our team will relay it.

One workplace is documented: Bangkok Hospital Siriroj, whose address, per its own site, is Chalermprakiat Ror 9 Road number 44, Wichit, Mueang Phuket. On the doctor page there, Dr. Prueksapong is placed with the Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute as a plastic surgeon. No start year is given, and no previous hospitals, teaching posts or leadership roles are listed, so we record none.

Some background on the hospital, taken from its own site and from the accreditor's directory:

• It belongs to the Bangkok Hospital (BDMS) group and states that it opened in 1982. It was formerly called Phuket International Hospital and also Siriroj International Hospital.
• The hospital has an entry in the Joint Commission International directory dated 15 December 2012 (hospital programme) with no end date displayed, and its own website describes it as JCI accredited. Accreditation looks at hospital systems such as infection control and medication safety. It does not grade a particular surgeon.
• The hospital says foreign nationals make up most of the institute's patients. The institute is in Building 5, 4th floor, and the daily hours given are 08.00 to 16.00.

The institute trades under its own name, PPSI, but it is housed in the hospital building. When you request a consultation, the practical effect is that your enquiry reaches a hospital plastic surgery service, and the surgeon who sees you is agreed with the hospital team, not chosen by us.

A note on reading a profile like this one. A hospital doctor page is a directory entry, not a record of a surgeon's caseload. It tells you where the surgeon works and which qualifications the hospital chooses to display. It cannot tell you how many operations of a given type have been performed, how complications were handled or what the surgeon's clinical preferences are. Those answers come from the consultation, and they carry more weight than any listing, ours included.

Please read this first. Dr. Prueksapong's public profile names no individual operations and no area of special interest. We do not say that Dr. Prueksapong performs any particular procedure, and none is linked to this profile in our data.

What can be documented is the range of the institute where the surgeon works. The institute's own page divides its work under six headings. Three are familiar (face, breast, body contouring); the others are feminine wellness with intimate surgery, gender affirmation, and weight-loss or metabolic surgery. Within those, the hospital's pages mention operations that have pages on our site. Treat them as the institute's range, shared by a team of surgeons, not as Dr. Prueksapong's own list.

Face. The institute's page mentions rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, facelift, otoplasty, and implant or fat-based contouring of the chin, cheeks and face through facial fat grafting. Our rhinoplasty page gives a typical operating time of 1.5 to 3 hours, visible swelling that mostly settles within 2 to 3 weeks, and a tip that continues to settle for a year or longer. Take these as general figures only. If a nose operation is what brings you, the useful question is whether Dr. Prueksapong does it regularly and whether revision cases are part of that work.

Breast. For the breast, the pages name breast augmentation as well as reduction, lift and implant removal. In general, augmentation takes about 1 to 2 hours and many overseas patients stay 7 to 10 days, though that depends on the technique and on how the first checks go. Choices about implant size, shape and position are made together with the surgeon once the chest has been examined.

Body. On our site, the matching body pages start with liposuction and VASER liposuction for fat removal, move on to tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift and body lift for loose skin, and include buttock implants for shape. Our tummy tuck page gives typical operating times of 2 to 5 hours, one to three hospital nights and a stay in Thailand of around 12 to 14 days. Liposuction is usually shorter, with 7 to 10 days in Thailand, and its final contour keeps developing over 3 to 6 months. Neither one is a weight-loss treatment, and a steady weight before surgery makes the planning more straightforward.

Intimate surgery. Labiaplasty appears among the hospital's listed services. Gender affirmation and weight-loss surgery are also named as groups on the institute's page, but the page we reviewed gave no procedure-level detail that we could link, so we say no more about them here.

The pages linked above explain technique, recovery and risk in general terms. Use them as preparation. Only the surgeon can tell you what applies to your body and what Dr. Prueksapong would recommend.

Since the public record does not tie this surgeon to named operations, the consultation carries more of the weight than it might for a surgeon with a long published list. Patients commonly find the questions below useful. They are general, not a script, and you can drop any that do not apply.

Establishing fit

• How frequently is the operation I am asking about part of your routine work?
• Which parts of my operation will you do yourself, and who will assist?
• Do you have photographs of patients, shared with their consent, whose starting point resembles mine?

Suitability, timing and alternatives

• On my examination, am I a suitable candidate? What would change that answer?
• Does anything in my history call for delay, such as recent weight change, smoking or vaping, blood-thinning medicines, a recent pregnancy or breastfeeding?
• Should I consider a gentler or non-surgical route before committing?
• Given my anatomy, what change is realistic, and what restricts it?

Risks and aftercare

• Which complications are most relevant to my operation, and how would they be handled here?
• Who looks after me in the first days, and how do I contact the team once I am home?
• Which follow-up steps can be done by video, and which need me in the room?

Practicalities

• How long should I allow in Phuket before flying home? Our procedure pages give general ranges (about a week to ten days for either a nose or a breast augmentation, and a fortnight or so after a tummy tuck), but the number for you is set by the surgeon's check before you fly.
• What type of anaesthesia is planned, and where in the hospital will the operation take place?
• Which items does the quote include, and which would be billed separately? This site shows no price for Dr. Prueksapong because none is published.

A second opinion is a normal request. Tell the patient team if you want one, and they can arrange the consultation request accordingly.

Questions that depend on the area you are asking about

• *Nose or face.* How would you change the structure for my face, not just the look of the tip? What would a revision involve if I was unhappy with the shape? How would eyelid, brow or facelift work be sequenced if I wanted more than one thing done?
• *Breast.* Which implant type, size range and placement would you suggest for my chest and tissue, and why? If I already have implants, how would you assess them? Would a lift be needed alongside, or later?
• *Body.* How much of my concern is fat, and how much is loose skin or muscle separation? Would one operation address it, or would you suggest staging? How long do you expect me to wear a compression garment, and what activity is off limits and for how long?
• *Intimate surgery.* How are privacy, examination and chaperone arrangements handled at the hospital, and who will see my photographs?

Write the answers down or ask for them by message. Details given by voice are easy to forget once you are travelling.

Because the hospital reports that foreign nationals form the bulk of the institute's caseload, overseas arrivals are the norm there, not the exception. Dr. Prueksapong's profile lists English and Thai as spoken languages. Nothing we read on the hospital's site mentions a dedicated international desk, interpreters or airport pick-up, so none of these is promised here. Ask the patient team to confirm what support is available for your dates before you book flights.

The hospital publishes a telephone number for the institute, but a request sent through us is easier to follow, because your details and photographs stay in one place and our team chases the reply.

Points worth planning for in Phuket:

• Length of stay. Each procedure page on this site gives a general range, and your surgeon sets your own after examining you. Treat the figures as a starting point for the leave you request from work.
• Return flights. Choose a fare that can be changed. The date you are cleared to fly is decided at a post-operative check, not before the operation, and surgeons often want a longer gap after body or breast surgery. Ask what your surgeon advises about flight length and clotting risk.
• Records. Bring a short written summary of your medical history, regular medicines and allergies, preferably in English, together with details of any implants you already have.
• Care at home. Settle beforehand who handles any problem that arises once you are back home, and how your local doctor can get in touch with the Phuket team.
• Getting there. For the street address and everything else we verified about the building, see the Bangkok Hospital Siriroj page.

A clear request lets the hospital answer faster and with more useful detail. Since this surgeon's procedures are not specified, include the area you are asking about and attach whatever matches it.

• Your aim, in your own words: what you hope will be different, and which features you want to keep exactly as they are.
• Photographs. Facial pictures should be taken from the front and the side in even daylight, without filters or heavy makeup. Breast and body enquiries need three angles (front, side, back) taken in underwear, in good light, with the area sharp. For a nose enquiry, also include a photo looking up at the nose and one looking down on it.
• Medical history: earlier operations, regular medicines, allergies, any history of blood clots or poor wound healing, smoking or vaping, and previous cosmetic work with dates and implant details if you have them.
• Height and weight, and whether either has changed in recent months. Surgeons often want to know whether your weight is steady before they plan body contouring.
• Your travel window, including the date you must be home and whether a companion is coming.

Share only what you are comfortable sharing. You can ask our team to delete photographs and health details once your request has been dealt with.

Extra details that help in specific cases. If you have scars from earlier surgery, photograph them in good light. If you are asking about an implant exchange or removal, bring the manufacturer and size details from your implant card, if you kept one. If you take medicines that affect bleeding, such as blood thinners, mention them clearly, and do not stop any prescribed medicine on your own: the surgeon or your own doctor should advise on that.
