Dr. Sanipreeya Yingtaweesit

Dr. Sanipreeya Yingtaweesit (Thai: พญ. ศนิปรียา ยิ่งทวีสิทธิกุล) is a Thai plastic surgeon based at Kamol Cosmetic Hospital, a hospital in Bangkok's Wang Thonglang area, on Lat Phrao 94. According to the hospital, its building was planned specifically for complex aesthetic and gender-affirming cases, and her profile there says she joined in 2018 and belongs to the hospital's gender-affirming surgical team. Kamol is the only current workplace we could document for her; her earlier post at Rajavithi Hospital is described in the career section below.

Her hospital profile places her work where facial surgery meets gender-affirming care. It says she specializes in facial feminization and masculinization and in top surgery, and it names four special interests:

• gender-affirming top surgery for trans men (FTM) and trans women (MTF);
• facial feminization and facial masculinization;
• facelift and facial rejuvenation;
• eyelid, eyebrow and eye-shaping surgery.

Under the heading of services covered, the same profile adds breast augmentation and chest surgery, rhinoplasty, body sculpting and liposuction, gender-affirming surgery in both directions of transition, and reconstructive and revision work.

On this site, those statements connect Dr. Sanipreeya with nine procedures: facial feminization surgery, facial masculinization surgery, top surgery, gender-affirming breast augmentation, facelift, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and liposuction. A procedure is added to her page only when her own profile names it, not because Kamol performs it somewhere else in the hospital; the way we check each link is described in our provider research methodology.

Her medical degree is from Naresuan University, she completed plastic surgery training at Bangkok's Phramongkutklao Hospital, and she appears as a member on the ThPRS directory. If you would like to see her, you can request a consultation with Dr. Sanipreeya; our patient team puts the request to Kamol and comes back to you with her availability, and nothing is fixed until you agree to it.

Spellings of her surname. The heading of her Kamol profile and the hospital's doctor directory spell it 'Yingtaweesit'. The profile text and its web address use 'Yingtaweesithikul', the fuller form that corresponds to the Thai ยิ่งทวีสิทธิกุล, and a 2022 PubMed record listing Kamol Cosmetic Hospital as her affiliation writes 'Yingthaweesittikul'. All three belong to one surgeon; we use the heading spelling so this page matches Kamol's listing.

Dr. Sanipreeya's route to specialist practice can be traced through her Kamol profile and the alumni records of the unit that trained her:

• Doctor of Medicine, 2007. Awarded with second-class honours by Naresuan University in Thailand.
• Plastic surgery training. Carried out in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, part of the Division of Surgery at Phramongkutklao Hospital, Bangkok. That unit's alumni page lists her in class 21 (รุ่นที่ 21) and records Kamol Cosmetic Hospital as where she now works, which supports both her training and her current post from a source outside Kamol.
• Plastic surgery board certificate, 2015. Kamol's English profile dates her board certification to 2015, after her Phramongkutklao training. The Thai profile names the qualification as วุฒิบัตรด้านศัลยกรรมตกแต่ง, the specialty diploma in plastic surgery, awarded in B.E. 2558, the Thai calendar year that corresponds to 2015.

The years in which her residency started and finished are not published on either page, so they are left out here.

Societies. A listing for her appears on the public website of The Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand (ThPRS), and the society describes that search as covering members only. Her entry there shows two workplace addresses, Rajavithi Hospital and Kamol Cosmetic Hospital. Three further bodies appear on her Kamol profile rather than on a list we could check: the Royal College of Plastic Surgeons of Thailand (วิทยาลัยศัลยแพทย์ตกแต่งแห่งประเทศไทย), the Thai Medical Council, and the Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons of Thailand, or ThSAPS. As ThSAPS publishes no member list, that entry depends on the hospital's word.

ISAPS. Membership of ISAPS, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, is claimed on the English version of her Kamol profile only; the Thai version omits it, and on 27 September 2026 a search of ISAPS's own 'Find a Surgeon' listings, filtered to Thailand, did not show her under any spelling of her name. We therefore leave ISAPS off this page; if it matters to your choice, ask Kamol to confirm it.

Licence. The licence number printed on her ThPRS entry is 36262. 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. The Council's register can be searched by name, and doing that for any surgeon before you book travel is a sensible precaution.

Rajavithi Hospital, Bangkok (before 2018). According to Kamol, Dr. Sanipreeya was a plastic surgeon in Rajavithi Hospital's Plastic Surgery Department before she moved to Kamol. Her ThPRS entry, posted in 2019, lists a Rajavithi address alongside the Kamol one. We record Rajavithi as a past post and route requests for her through Kamol only.

Kamol Cosmetic Hospital, Bangkok (2018 onwards). Kamol gives her title as Plastic Surgeon and names her among its gender-affirming surgical team. Dr. Kamol Pansritum is the hospital's chief plastic surgeon, and the gender-affirming team is not made up of plastic surgeons alone: Kamol's own doctor pages place an ear, nose and throat surgeon focused on voice surgery, a urologist, gynaecologists, a paediatric surgeon and colorectal surgeons in that work. For anyone planning surgery in more than one stage, this means a colleague may carry out some steps, so ask Dr. Sanipreeya which operations in your plan she would do herself.

Research. She co-wrote a JPRAS (Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery) article, published in 2022, on rebuilding the urethra with a peritoneal graft during phalloplasty for trans men, with Kamol Cosmetic Hospital given as her affiliation. Being a co-author shows she contributed to the hospital's published work on phalloplasty. It does not establish that she performs phalloplasty, and we found no official page saying so, which is why phalloplasty is not listed among her procedures here.

Length of experience. We give no number of years. Her English profile refers to more than a decade of experience, while the Thai version frames it as time spent working with Dr. Kamol even though it dates her arrival at Kamol to 2018, so the figure cannot be pinned to a record. The dated milestones are her 2007 medical degree, her 2015 board certification and her 2018 start at Kamol.

Every area below comes from Dr. Sanipreeya's Kamol profile. For each one we summarise general points from our own procedure guides and suggest what to raise with her. Treat it as background reading only: whether an operation is suitable, and which technique would be used, can only be decided once she has assessed you.

Facial feminization surgery (FFS)

FFS is on her profile twice, as a special interest and as a covered service. Facial feminization surgery means a combination of operations selected for one particular face rather than a single fixed procedure. Typical components include hairline advancement, forehead contouring and brow bone reduction, feminizing rhinoplasty, cheek augmentation, lip lift, reduction of the jaw angles, reshaping of the chin, and a tracheal shave to soften the Adam's apple. Some patients combine several in one session; others spread them over stages, since very long combined operations carry more risk. At hospital level, Kamol's pages cover forehead contouring, scalp-advancement hairline lowering, feminine rhinoplasty, feminizing chin and jaw options, and Adam's apple reduction.

As general guidance from our FFS guide: a CT scan is often requested before any reshaping of bone at the forehead, jaw or chin; operating time varies widely, from about 2 to 10 hours depending on how much is done; the hospital stay is commonly 1–3 nights; and the usual time to budget in Thailand is 10–14 days, extended when many procedures are combined. WPATH's Standards of Care, version 8 (SOC-8), set no hormone requirement for facial surgery, though individual surgeons and hospitals can apply their own criteria, so ask what Kamol expects. With Dr. Sanipreeya in particular, ask which components she would carry out herself and whether she would suggest one operation or stages for your face.

Facial masculinization surgery (FMS)

Masculinization is paired with feminization on her profile; the Thai phrase การศัลยกรรมปรับรูปหน้าเป็นหญิงและชาย refers to reshaping a face towards female and towards male. Kamol lists facial masculinization among its hospital services as well. In broad terms, facial masculinization surgery reshapes areas such as the jaw, chin, forehead and nose to give a more masculine structure. Our own FMS guide is not finished, so this page gives no durations for it. Useful questions for Dr. Sanipreeya: which features she would change, whether you need imaging, how much time to allow in Bangkok and what recovery would involve for the plan she proposes.

Top surgery (chest masculinization)

Chest surgery is among the specialties on her profile, and gender-affirming top surgery, FTM and MTF, is one of her special interests. For trans men and non-binary patients, top surgery takes away breast tissue and surplus skin to shape a flatter chest, and liposuction is often used to refine the sides. There are two broad approaches: double-incision top surgery with free nipple grafts, the usual choice for medium or large chests, and periareolar or keyhole techniques, which leave less scarring but suit fewer people, generally those with small chests and good skin elasticity, and may need revision more often. Kamol's top surgery page describes double incision with free nipple grafts alongside periareolar (U-shaped scar) and concentric (O-shaped scar) techniques.

Our top surgery guide describes an operation under general anaesthesia of typically 2–4 hours, with 0–1 nights in hospital. Patients usually wear a compression binder for several weeks; drains commonly come out after about a week, when the nipple grafts are also reviewed, and for that reason a 10–14-day stay in Thailand is the common plan for overseas patients. Under SOC-8, hormone therapy is not a prerequisite for chest masculinization, but you will usually need an assessment showing that the decision is well considered and that your health is suitable; ask Kamol which documents it needs. Possible complications include bleeding or haematoma, seroma, infection, partial or complete loss of nipple grafts, altered sensation, contour irregularities and 'dog ears' at the scar ends.

Gender-affirming breast augmentation (MTF)

The MTF half of her top surgery interest corresponds to gender-affirming breast augmentation, and breast augmentation and chest surgery also appear among the services she covers. Our full guide to this operation is not yet complete; for trip planning we currently use a typical 7–10 days in Thailand. Many of the choices set out on our breast augmentation page carry over: silicone or saline implants, a round or teardrop (anatomical) shape, a smooth or textured shell, where the incision goes, and whether the implant sits above or partly beneath the chest muscle. With Dr. Sanipreeya, discuss how the width of your chest, your skin and any breast development you already have would shape her recommendation.

Facelift and facial rejuvenation

Kamol's profile says her specialties include facial rejuvenation techniques such as facelifts. Speaking generally, a facelift works beneath the skin as well as on it: deeper tissue of the lower face and neck is repositioned and tightened, and surplus skin is trimmed, to address sagging jowls and neck laxity. It is not a treatment for the forehead, the eyelids or fine wrinkles on the skin surface. Options run from mini to full and deep plane techniques, with a mini facelift for more limited change, and a neck lift is commonly combined. At hospital level, Kamol lists neck lifts, mini facelifts and facial fat transfer alongside the facelift.

Our facelift guide gives general figures: the operation typically lasts 2–5 hours under general anaesthesia or IV sedation, patients usually spend 1–2 nights in hospital, and stitches come out in stages from about a week, which is why visitors commonly plan 10–14 days in Thailand. Bruising mostly settles within 2–3 weeks. Of the significant complications, the most frequent is a haematoma: blood collects under the lifted skin and sometimes has to be drained. Infection, numbness, facial nerve weakness that usually recovers, and slow skin healing are also possible, and smokers face a higher chance of healing problems. Ask Dr. Sanipreeya which technique she suggests for your face, and why.

Eyelid, eyebrow and eye-shaping surgery

Her profile lists eyelid surgery as a specialty and eyelid, eyebrow and eye-shaping surgery as a special interest. In blepharoplasty, excess skin, muscle or fat is trimmed or repositioned on the upper lids, lower lids or both at once; double eyelid surgery is the related operation that creates or sharpens an upper-lid fold. According to our eyelid guide, these operations usually take about 1–2 hours, frequently use local anaesthetic plus sedation (general anaesthesia may be used for lower lids or combined work) and are usually day cases; stitch removal falls at around 5–7 days, and that sets the typical 5–7-day stay in Thailand. Expect questions about your eyesight and any history of dry eye, glaucoma or thyroid eye disease, since each of these conditions change how safely the lids can be operated on. When the edge of the upper lid sits too low (ptosis), the muscle has to be repaired rather than skin simply removed, and a brow that has dropped may call for a brow lift instead of lid surgery.

Her profile names eyebrow surgery but not the specific operation, so we have not linked her to a brow lift. If the brow or forehead is your main concern, check what she offers before building a trip around it.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty appears in her list of covered services; the Thai wording covers nose augmentation, reshaping and correction. Rhinoplasty patients in Thailand generally fall into two groups: those wanting reduction, such as reducing a hump, slimming the nose or refining the tip, and those wanting augmentation to build up a low bridge, often called Asian rhinoplasty. Building up the bridge relies either on the patient's own tissue (septal, ear or rib cartilage) or on an implant, commonly silicone or ePTFE. Each option carries its own infection risk and differs in how natural it feels and how well it holds up over time. Within FFS the nose is handled as feminizing rhinoplasty, balanced against the other facial changes. Our rhinoplasty guide describes general anaesthesia in most cases, an operation of typically 1.5–3 hours, removal of the external splint at around days 5–10 and a typical 7–10 days in Thailand, while swelling at the tip continues to settle for 12 months or more. Surgeons usually suggest waiting twelve months or longer after the first operation before revising it.

Cosmetic breast augmentation

Breast augmentation and chest surgery are among the services on her profile. Cosmetic breast augmentation usually relies on silicone or saline implants, and less often on fat transferred from elsewhere in the body; Kamol offers both methods as a hospital. Our guide describes an operation under general anaesthesia of typically 1–2 hours and a stay in Thailand of about 7–10 days, until the wounds have been checked. Implants wear over time, so allow for the possibility of a further operation to replace or remove them, which many people eventually need. BIA-ALCL, a rare lymphoma, has been linked mainly to certain textured implants, so ask Dr. Sanipreeya which surface she uses and why. Make sure you leave Bangkok with your implant card, which lists the implants' brand, size, type and lot numbers.

Liposuction and body sculpting

Her services list also names body sculpting and liposuction. Liposuction contours specific areas by removing fat through small incisions; it is a shaping procedure rather than weight-loss surgery, and it will not tighten loose skin. In general the operation takes about 1–4 hours depending on the areas treated, a compression garment stays on for several weeks, and the final shape emerges over 3–6 months while swelling subsides. Our guide suggests about 7–10 days in Thailand, extended when large volumes or several areas are treated together. Blood clots and fat embolism are rare but serious risks that rise with larger volumes, so ask Dr. Sanipreeya how much she would treat in a single session and what she recommends to prevent clots on the flight home.

Areas her profile leaves general

Her profile also mentions gender-affirming surgery for MTF and FTM patients, and reconstructive and revision surgery, in general terms without naming particular operations. For that reason this page does not connect her with genital surgery such as vaginoplasty or phalloplasty, or with named revision procedures. Kamol performs those operations through its wider team; if you are interested in them, tell our patient team and we can ask the hospital which surgeon would take on your case.

You do not need to be in Bangkok for a first conversation with Dr. Sanipreeya: Kamol runs secure video consultations for patients who are still at home. Anything proposed from photographs or a video call remains provisional until she has examined you at the hospital, so use it for planning rather than as a final decision.

General questions to put to her:

• Which steps of my surgery would you carry out personally, and would other members of Kamol's gender-affirming team be involved?
• In which part of the hospital would I be operated on, and who is responsible for my anaesthesia?
• How many nights would I spend on the ward before moving to K Garden or a hotel?
• What does the written quote cover, and how would a revision be charged if one were needed?
• What is my likely flight date, and who looks after follow-up after I return home?

Facial feminization or masculinization: Which procedures would you suggest for my face, and in what sequence? One operation or several stages, and what is the reasoning? Will you need a CT scan? What hormone or assessment criteria does Kamol apply? Where might I lose sensation for a while, and how long could the swelling last?

Top surgery: Given my chest size and skin elasticity, would you recommend double incision with free nipple grafts or a periareolar approach? Would you add liposuction at the sides? How long would the drains and binder stay? Which documents do you and the hospital require? If contour irregularities or 'dog ears' appear, how are revisions handled?

Breast augmentation, gender-affirming or cosmetic: Which implant type, shape, surface and volume would you suggest, and why? Which incision and which pocket? What long-term checks do you advise, including periodic imaging to look for silent rupture of silicone implants?

Facelift, eyelid or brow concerns: For a facelift, which technique fits my face, and do you see a case for adding a neck lift or eyelid work? Is my problem mainly excess lid skin, fat, a low brow or ptosis? Which blood-thinning medicines or supplements should I pause, and how far ahead of surgery should I stop smoking?

Rhinoplasty and liposuction: For my nose, would the graft come from my own cartilage, or would you choose an implant, and why? For liposuction, which areas would you treat, and what amount is safe to remove in one session?

Prepare your questions in writing and ask for written answers. If the examination in Bangkok changes the plan, request a revised written quote before you consent to surgery.

Dr. Sanipreeya's hospital sits in Bangkok's Wang Thonglang district (postcode 10310), at 1223 Lat Phrao 94, Inthraphon Road. The hospital itself handles the logistics of an overseas trip, and what follows is drawn from Kamol's own pages.

Inside the hospital. Kamol's Thai facilities page counts seven operating rooms on the 4th floor, including one equipped for microsurgery and an endoscopic operating suite; a recovery room with 11 monitored beds adjoins them. Ward rooms fill the 5th and 6th floors, either standard (26 sqm) or VIP (52 sqm), arranged around a central nurse station, and the 7th floor has medical residence apartments for patients recovering on site. You register and see surgeons on the 3rd floor, which also has minor-procedure facilities. Blood tests, X-rays, ultrasound, ECG and cardiac stress tests are available in the 2nd-floor diagnostic centre, which means your pre-operative work-up can take place in the same building. On 27 September 2026 Kamol Cosmetic Hospital appeared with 'Accredited' status in the Joint Commission International (JCI) directory, while a search of the HA Thailand accreditation list returned no Kamol entry.

Services Kamol lists for international patients:

• a first consultation by secure video call with a Kamol surgeon while you are still abroad;
• one personal representative handling each consultation request, and a separate international telephone line for general or urgent queries;
• assistance with hotel bookings and airport pick-ups, and a limousine to the airport on departure;
• after discharge from the ward, a stay at K Garden, Kamol's serviced apartments close to the hospital, where dressings are changed, stitches removed and the surgeon sees you for follow-up;
• extension of a medical treatment visa, which Kamol states it can arrange;
• settling the bill in cash (THB, EUR, GBP, USD, AUD or CAD), by bank transfer, or with a credit or debit card.

Languages. No languages are stated on Dr. Sanipreeya's own profile. According to Kamol, English and Thai are spoken by its staff, and interpreters for other languages can be organised on request. Mention your preferred language when you send your request.

Time in Thailand. Clearance to fly comes from Dr. Sanipreeya once she has checked your healing. For planning, the typical stays in our procedure guides for the operations on her profile are:

• blepharoplasty and double eyelid surgery: 5–7 days;
• rhinoplasty, liposuction, and cosmetic or gender-affirming breast augmentation: 7–10 days;
• FFS, top surgery and facelift: 10–14 days, with extra time after extensive combined surgery.

Choose a ticket you can change, stay near Kamol, and bring loose clothing that opens at the front. Kamol Cosmetic Hospital is responsible for treatment, prices and patient services; ThaiCosmeticSurgery.com passes on requests but does not provide medical care.

A fuller first message usually means a more useful first answer from Kamol. Keep medical details to this site's booking form or WhatsApp channel, and hold back photos until Dr. Sanipreeya's team requests them.

Useful in every request:

• which procedure or procedures interest you, and a few sentences on what you hope to change;
• your possible travel dates, and whether you prefer a video or face-to-face consultation;
• any health conditions, allergies, current medicines and supplements, and any smoking or nicotine use;
• earlier surgery, particularly in the same area, with operation reports if you still have them;
• a list of the questions you would like her to answer.

Facial feminization or masculinization: front and profile photos of your face in even light with your hair held back, so the forehead and hairline are visible; any past facial surgery, implants or fillers; existing CT scans of the face or skull; and whether you take hormones, and which.

Top surgery or gender-affirming breast augmentation: your hormone history if relevant, copies of any assessment or referral letters, and your questions about technique or implants. Hold chest photos back until Kamol's team requests them.

Cosmetic breast augmentation: for existing implants, the implant card or any record of the brand, size and type; and whether you may want to become pregnant or breastfeed later.

Facelift, eyelid or eyebrow surgery: photos of your face at rest from the front and side in good light, if requested; whether you have had dry eye, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease or any change in your vision; and medicines or supplements that thin the blood.

Rhinoplasty: front, profile and base-of-nose photos in even light, if requested; any injury to the nose, previous nasal surgery with the implant material if you know it, and any difficulty breathing through the nose.

Liposuction: the areas you want to change, your weight now and over the past year, and any past blood clot.

Keep a copy of everything you send and take it to your consultation at Kamol. Before you leave Thailand, ask for your operative notes, and your implant card where implants were used, to hand to your own doctor after you return.
