Dr. Rapeepat Supruangthong

Dr. Rapeepat Supruangthong (Thai: ระพีพัฒน์ ทรัพย์รวงทอง) is a male plastic surgeon whose published specialty is plastic and reconstructive surgery. Vejthani Hospital's page about him shows the Thai Board of Plastic Surgery diploma and gives his languages as English and Thai.

His principal post is at Vejthani International Hospital in Bangkok. Two further organisations also publish him as part of their team: Ladprao Hospital, which places him in its Surgery Centre, and APS Gender Care, whose breast augmentation page presents him as a breast surgeon under the name Dr. Tee.

Five procedure areas are tied to him by name: breast augmentation, liposuction (the Vejthani entry reads lipofilling and liposuction), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), rhinoplasty and facial fat grafting, the last coming from the APS Gender Care page. The Vejthani profile adds a list of conditions he treats that stretches beyond cosmetic surgery: maxillofacial trauma, skin graft and flap reconstruction, chronic wounds and head and neck cancer.

ThaiCosmeticSurgery.com is an independent booking platform, not a clinic and not a medical provider. To meet Dr. Rapeepat you can send a consultation request. Our patient team hands it to the relevant practice and chases a reply, and nothing is booked until that practice confirms. The facts here come from the sources set out in our provider research methodology, and anything the sources do not show is labelled as missing.

The history below comes from hospital and clinic profiles. 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. Read it as what the organisations publish, not as independently confirmed.

• Medical degree: Phramongkutklao College of Medicine in Thailand granted his M.D., shown as 2013 on APS Gender Care's page. The Ladprao profile names Mahidol as the school for the same year. We follow the Vejthani and APS wording and flag the conflict, which is worth asking him about.
• Residency: a plastic and reconstructive surgery programme running 2016 to 2021 at the Faculty of Medicine, Phramongkutklao Hospital (APS Gender Care page).
• Board: a Thai Board of Plastic Surgery diploma, tied to Phramongkutklao Hospital on his Vejthani page. No year is given there.

One piece of independent evidence supports the Phramongkutklao link. A 2021 randomised controlled trial in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open examined triamcinolone injection after surgery for ear keloids, and its author list includes "Sapruangthong R" in the plastic surgery division at Phramongkutklao Hospital. That spelling is the one used on the APS page, and the affiliation fits his residency years. It is the only publication we have tied to him.

The Vejthani profile also lists memberships: a plastic and reconstructive surgery society, an aesthetic surgery society, and a Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand entry. The profile does not name the first two societies precisely, and we have not looked him up on any society's member list.

Not documented: any overseas fellowship, the year of his Thai Board diploma, and a licence number checked on the Medical Council register. Ladprao's page prints a licence number, but it is a hospital page rather than the register, so we do not treat it as verified. Should any of these weigh on your choice, include it in your request so we can ask the practice about it.

Three current roles are published, each on the page of the organisation concerned.

Vejthani International Hospital, Bangkok. The hospital's page puts him in the Plastic Surgery department as a plastic surgeon. The hospital describes a Plastic Surgery Center on its 11th floor, open daily from 08.00 to 20.00. For overseas patients it describes a Referral and Aviation Division that handles visa extensions, travel, hotels and V-Flight for patients and the people accompanying them, alongside translators covering over 20 languages. On its accreditation page the hospital shows JCI status for 2025-2028. Such status describes the hospital's systems, not any one surgeon's outcomes.

Ladprao General Hospital. Ladprao's page for him shows a plastic surgeon post in the Surgery Centre and notes a Saturday clinic in the third week of each month. A schedule that specific can change, so confirm the date before booking flights and ask whether your consultation would be held at Ladprao or at Vejthani.

APS Gender Care. The clinic's breast augmentation page presents him as a breast surgeon and lists facial lipofilling among his specialties. We read only that page, so this profile documents his breast and facial fat work there and does not describe his role in any other procedure the clinic offers.

With three sites involved, settle early where your own operation would take place. As a general rule, your written plan should name the surgeon, the facility, the anaesthetist and the people responsible for follow-up.

A procedure is listed here only when a published page links him to it; the job title alone proves nothing about a particular operation. Passages marked general come from our procedure guides rather than describing his own technique, and suitability for any of them has to be assessed in person.

### Breast augmentation in Bangkok Breast augmentation is among the procedures on his Vejthani profile, and the APS Gender Care page names him as a breast surgeon. In general, an implant (silicone or saline) is placed behind each breast, or fat is moved from elsewhere, to increase size or even out shape. The usual set-up is general anaesthesia and roughly one to two hours in theatre, and overseas patients tend to plan 7 to 10 days away. An implant will not raise a low-sitting nipple, so say early if a lift is also on your mind. Implants carry risks such as capsular contracture, asymmetry and the possibility of later revision. Our breast augmentation guide goes through them.

### Liposuction and lipofilling The Vejthani entry reads "lipofilling and liposuction". Liposuction in general means drawing fat out of selected zones (abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms) with a thin cannula inserted through small cuts. Think of it as sculpting, not slimming: it will not tackle cellulite or slack skin. Expect a compression garment for a number of weeks, with the finished shape only emerging 3 to 6 months on, once swelling has gone. Lipofilling is the reverse step, moving fat to another area. See our liposuction guide.

### Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) Eyelid surgery is listed on his Vejthani profile. In general, the aim is to take away or reposition surplus lid skin, muscle and fat, easing hooded upper lids or puffy lower ones. Local anaesthesia with sedation is common, though general anaesthesia is also used. Patients commonly stay 5 to 7 days, which is also about when stitches come out, and bruising mostly fades in 1 to 2 weeks. The blepharoplasty guide covers dry eyes, asymmetry and other risks.

### Rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty is another Vejthani listing. In general, the surgeon alters the nasal bone and cartilage framework, redrapes the skin, and may ease breathing during the same operation. General anaesthesia is the norm, and a stay of 7 to 10 days lets the splint come off and the nose be examined before you fly. By our guide's timing, puffiness mostly eases within 2 to 3 weeks, though the definition of the tip can keep evolving beyond a year. Read the rhinoplasty guide before your consultation.

### Facial fat grafting The APS Gender Care page lists facial lipofilling among his specialties. In general, facial fat grafting moves a patient's own fat into the face to add volume or soften a hollow. Part of the transferred fat is usually absorbed, so ask him how he judges this and whether a second session is likely. Our page on fat grafting to the face has the general picture.

### Reconstructive and other interests The Vejthani profile names maxillofacial trauma, skin graft and flap reconstruction, chronic wounds, head and neck cancer and cosmetic surgery as conditions he treats. No further detail is published, so this page does not describe those services beyond naming them.

A first consultation is where a surgeon's documented background meets your own anatomy and goals. The questions below fit the procedures documented for him. They are general prompts, not claims about how he works.

Breast augmentation: implant type, size and profile; where the implant would sit; incision options; how the plan fits your chest shape; and what happens if you later want it exchanged or removed. Ask also at which facility the operation would happen and who administers the anaesthetic.

Liposuction or lipofilling: which areas are realistic, how much skin tightening to expect, which garments you will need and for how many weeks, when flying home is safe, and whether any fat transfer happens in the same session.

Eyelid surgery: whether upper lids, lower lids or both are advised, where the scars would lie, how dry eyes and asymmetry are handled, and what eye-health checks come first.

Rhinoplasty: bring photographs of noses you like and dislike, and ask how he weighs appearance against breathing. Mention any earlier nasal surgery straight away.

Any procedure: ask for the treatment plan in writing, what the quoted price covers (surgeon, hospital stay, anaesthesia, implants, garments, medicines, check-ups), what follow-up is possible once you are home, and whom to call if a problem arises. No fee for him is documented, hence none is shown here.

If you are travelling from overseas, the facility around the surgeon counts as much as the surgeon. Vejthani's international services are those described earlier on this page. Dr. Rapeepat himself is documented as speaking English and Thai. We have no published language list for the Ladprao or APS Gender Care sites, so ask them directly if you need an interpreter.

Base the length of your stay on the operation, not the flight. From our procedure guides, patients commonly allow 7 to 10 days for breast augmentation, liposuction and rhinoplasty; eyelid surgery is shorter, at 5 to 7. His own timeline may differ with the technique and your health, so ask him for it.

Before you fly, obtain written confirmation of the facility, the date and the follow-up arrangements. Our Bangkok city page gives general travel context. Details such as airport transfers at a given facility are not something we can confirm beyond what that facility publishes.

Exactly what to include varies by operation, though a useful request tends to cover the following:

• A few lines on what you want changed and what bothers you most.
• Your age, height, weight, health conditions, regular medicines, allergies and smoking status.
• Earlier operations and any implants, with dates and the country where they were done.
• Clear, well-lit pictures taken head-on and from each side, in plain clothing, unfiltered.
• For breast surgery: chest photographs from the front and at an angle, plus any implant details you hold.
• For rhinoplasty: front, side and base views, and reference photographs of the look you hope for.
• For eyelid surgery: a front view with eyes open and closed, and any history of dry eyes or lid surgery.
• For liposuction: standing photographs of the areas of concern and your weight history.
• Your planned travel dates and how long you could stay.

Send nothing you are uneasy sharing, and use our patient team's secure request form rather than a public channel.
