Dr. Sakdipat Charernrat

Dr. Sakdipat Charernrat (Thai: นายแพทย์ศักดิพัชร์ เจริญรัตน์) works in Bangkok's northern district of Don Mueang and sees patients at The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital, where his doctor page labels him ศัลยแพทย์ตกแต่งเฉพาะทาง (a specialist plastic surgeon) and prints the post-nominals M.D. and FRCST after his name. It also gives a nickname, หมอไอซ์ (Mor Ice), which is handy in case you come across it in Thai-language sources.

We built this page from the official hospital profile and from information the hospital publishes about itself. We have been careful about what it leaves out. The profile we reviewed does not itemise procedures for Dr. Sakdipat, does not name any spoken languages and does not state a subspecialty. Instead of guessing, this page keeps three things apart: facts about the surgeon, facts about the hospital, and general guidance about operations.

Quick facts, as documented

• Specialty: plastic surgery (a specialist plastic surgeon, according to the hospital profile)
• Workplace: The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital, Don Mueang, Bangkok
• Clinic hours given on the profile: Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 13:00
• Medical degree: Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University
• Specialist qualification: Thai Board certificate in plastic surgery through Siriraj, with the year 2022 shown on the profile
• Languages, subspecialty and a list of individual procedures: none stated on the profile we reviewed

To meet him, you can request a consultation with Dr. Sakdipat Charernrat through our patient team. The request costs nothing, and the hospital has to confirm before any appointment exists. To see how we assemble surgeon profiles and what we deliberately omit, read our provider research methodology.

The hospital profile lists Dr. Sakdipat's training in a short sequence, and we stay within it.

Medical degree. He earned his Doctor of Medicine (แพทยศาสตรบัณฑิต) at the Siriraj Hospital Faculty of Medicine within Mahidol University, one of Thailand's long-established university medical faculties. No graduation year appears on the profile, so we give none.

Specialist plastic surgery certification. The profile shows a Thai Board certificate in plastic surgery issued through the same faculty at Siriraj, and, separately, a Thai Board of Plastic Surgery diploma carrying the date 2022. As general context, specialist training in Thailand follows a formal, residency-style route that ends in board certification, so this entry points to completed Thai specialist training in plastic surgery. The profile does not describe what his residency involved, and we do not fill that gap.

Courses and workshops on the profile. These are certificates of attendance, not degrees or fellowships, and should be read that way:

• 2017: Workshop for Basic Laparoscopic Surgery, Siriraj Faculty of Medicine, Mahidol University
• 2023: Advanced Surgical and Non-surgical Periorbital Rejuvenation Workshop, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University (certificate of attendance)
• 2023: a live demonstration and lecture on facial aesthetics and Asian rhinoplasty at THE PLUS Plastic Surgery, Seoul, South Korea (certificate of attendance)
• 2023: a live demonstration of rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty at the Shimmian rhinoplasty clinic, Seoul, South Korea (certificate of attendance)

The profile also refers to conference attendances in 2022. Going to a conference is not a qualification, so we leave those out.

What this does and does not tell you. Taking part in a workshop or watching a live demonstration shows professional interest in a subject. It says nothing by itself about how many such operations he does or how he performs them. The 2023 periorbital, rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty courses make a reasonable opening for a conversation: you might ask which of those areas he currently treats at the hospital and how often. Neither his Medical Council of Thailand registration nor any plastic surgery society membership could be confirmed by us, so neither is shown as verified; the booking section below explains why.

The one documented role for Dr. Sakdipat is his post as a surgeon in the plastic surgery team at The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital, where the profile gives clinic hours of Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 13:00. We list 16 surgeons for the hospital, taken from its official team pages, and he is one of them.

The profile gives no start year, no earlier posts, no academic titles, no length of time in practice and no case numbers, and we do not estimate any of these. If his track record matters to you, which is a sensible thing to care about, put the question in your consultation request. Useful versions are how many operations of your kind he has done in the last twelve months, and whether consented before-and-after photos of people with a similar starting point can be shared.

According to the About page on the hospital's brand site, it started life as a clinic offering surgery in one large theatre, later converted into a specialist plastic surgery hospital to give bigger procedures aftercare under one roof. It also says every patient has a dedicated surgeon and anaesthetist. Those are the hospital's statements about how it works, not a measure of any one surgeon's results, and we present them as such.

Documented for Dr. Sakdipat himself. His hospital profile names a specialty, plastic surgery, but lists no individual operations. We therefore do not say that he performs any particular procedure. The only procedure-related information tied to him is the 2023 training described above: periorbital rejuvenation (the eyelids and the area around them), Asian rhinoplasty with facial aesthetics, and rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty demonstrations.

Documented for the hospital. Its service pages cover the areas below, so these are the topics you can reasonably raise with your request. Whether Dr. Sakdipat is the right surgeon for each is a question for the patient team.

• Face and nose: double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, alar base reduction, chin augmentation, jaw contouring, plus facelift
• Body and breast: tummy tuck, abdominal etching, liposuction, breast augmentation and fat transfer breast augmentation
• Intimate and hair: labiaplasty, cosmetic vaginoplasty, hair transplant and eyebrow transplant

Why the nose and eyelids come first. His listed 2023 courses concern the nose and the eyelids, so those are the two areas most worth asking him about. As general background, a rhinoplasty alters the underlying bony and cartilage structure of the nose, after which the skin is draped back into place. People tend to come with one of two aims: reduction or refinement, or augmentation, meaning a higher bridge or more tip projection, often referred to as Asian rhinoplasty. These aims call for different methods, grafts or implants and risk profiles, so say which one you mean. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) deals with surplus eyelid tissue, whether skin, muscle or fat, by trimming or repositioning it on the upper or lower lids, and double eyelid surgery forms or refines an upper lid crease. Our guides to rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty go into each in more depth. This is general information and does not mean he offers every technique described.

Breast, body and intimate operations are offered at the hospital, but nothing on his profile connects him to them, so they remain questions for the patient team.

Because his public profile is brief, the consultation will supply most of what you need to know. The guidance below is general advice for anyone seeing a plastic surgeon, shaped around the areas most likely to apply to him.

Begin with fit. Name the procedure you are weighing and ask whether Dr. Sakdipat does it regularly at The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital. If not, ask the patient team which of the hospital's surgeons does.

If your interest is the nose. In general, the surgeon will look at the nose, the thickness of your skin and your breathing, and ask what you want changed. Questions worth bringing: is the plan a reduction or a build-up, will your own cartilage or an implant be used, where would any graft come from, and how will your breathing be assessed? Silicone or similar implants on one hand and your own cartilage on the other (from the nasal septum, ear or rib) differ in infection risk, feel and durability, so ask why one is preferred for your nose. If wide nostrils are part of your concern, ask whether alar base reduction would be considered, since that is its own step, done through small cuts at the base of the nostril. Our rhinoplasty guide describes a typical stay of roughly 7 to 10 days, while the splint stays on and you are reviewed, most visible swelling easing over 2 to 3 weeks, and the tip continuing to refine for a year or longer. If you have had nose surgery before, tell the team, because revision work is often longer and more complex. See revision rhinoplasty.

If your interest is the eyelids. The assessment will probe eye health: whether you get dry eyes, have glaucoma or thyroid eye disease, and your eyesight, because each affects how safe surgery is. Ask whether a double eyelid crease would be made with an incision or with sutures, and what that choice means for how long the crease is likely to last; suture methods suit only some lids and may be less long-lasting. For lower lids, ask where the access point would be: along the lash line, or inside the lid, where no scar shows. Our eyelid guide gives about 5 to 7 days in Thailand, which is also about when stitches are removed, with bruising mostly gone within one to two weeks. Ptosis, where the lid margin itself droops, needs a different repair, which is why a careful assessment checks for it.

Questions worth asking any surgeon.

• What outcome is realistic for my anatomy, and what is not?
• Which risks apply to me in particular, and how would a complication be dealt with after I return to my home country?
• Who will be my anaesthetist, and where will I stay after surgery?
• Who will review me afterwards, and for how long can I reach the team remotely?
• Can I see consented photographs of comparable cases?

If an answer is vague or a surgeon cannot explain something plainly, take that as information. Whether an operation is appropriate for you only becomes clear on examination, and attending a consultation never commits you to surgery.

Everything in this section comes from the hospital's own published material, not from Dr. Sakdipat's profile.

• Location. Published address: 287 Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, Sanam Bin, Don Mueang, Bangkok 10210. Don Mueang is also the district of Don Mueang airport, which places the hospital on the northern side of the capital. Our Bangkok guide covers general trip planning.
• Size and layout. The hospital reports 29 beds along with 12 operating rooms. Its homepage puts reception and outpatients on the first floor, a skin and aesthetic department on the second, operating theatres and recovery on the third, and inpatient wards higher up, with a VIP ward on the sixth.
• Other sites. There are also clinic branches in Lat Phrao and Pattaya, so check which site your consultation will take place at.
• International patients. By its own account, about 15% of the hospital's clients come from abroad, and the procedures it says those clients pick most often are facelift, open rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction, abdominoplasty and body contouring. That describes the hospital's clientele and says nothing about Dr. Sakdipat's own caseload.

Gaps in the published information. We saw no published statement of an international patient desk, of the languages offered to overseas patients, or of a current international accreditation such as JCI. We therefore claim none of these. Before you travel, ask our patient team to confirm how communication will be handled, who will meet you and which pre-operative tests will be needed.

For trip planning, our procedure guides suggest general time-in-Thailand figures: roughly 7 to 10 days for rhinoplasty and 5 to 7 days for eyelid surgery. Your surgeon sets the actual timetable.

A thorough first message saves time and lets the surgeon form an informed view. As general guidance, gather the following.

For every procedure

• A few lines on your aims and on the feature that troubles you most
• Your medical history: previous operations, allergies, regular medication and supplements, nicotine use, and any bleeding or clotting disorder
• Height, weight and any recent weight change
• Any earlier cosmetic treatment or fillers in the same area
• Dates you could travel and the days you can spare

If you are asking about the nose

• Clear, evenly lit photographs from the front, both sides and below, with no make-up and no filters
• Older photos of the nose from before any injury or earlier surgery, if you have them
• Any breathing difficulty, such as a blocked side or mouth breathing at night
• Operative notes or implant details from previous nose surgery, where relevant

If you are asking about the eyelids

• Photos with relaxed open eyes gazing forward, and another set with the gaze lifted a little
• Eye history: dryness, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease, contact lens wear, any recent eye surgery
• Reference photos of a crease height you like, if you want a double eyelid, bearing in mind that a surgeon adapts the design to your anatomy

For breast, body or other procedures

• Front, side and back photos in plain underwear against a plain background
• For breast surgery, details of any earlier implants and the date of your latest mammogram, if you have had one

Send the material through our consultation request. Photos help the surgeon assess your case before you travel, but an online review gives a first impression only and cannot replace an examination in person.
