Asst. Prof. Dr. Sarut Chaisrisawadisuk

Asst. Prof. Dr. Sarut Chaisrisawadisuk (Thai: สรุจ ชัยศรีสวัสดิ์สุข) is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon working in Bangkok, Thailand. His official hospital profiles give his subspecialty areas as cleft lip and palate surgery, cranio-maxillo-facial surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery and facial feminization surgery. Wansiri Hospital's profile gives his academic rank as Assistant Professor, attached to the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Siriraj Hospital, and Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital lists him within its Surgery Center under Plastic Surgery.

For anyone considering cosmetic or gender-affirming work on the face, the facial focus is the part of the profile that matters most. Wansiri Hospital's list of his interests reads: facial bone contouring surgery (V-line, jaw reduction and zygoma reduction), craniofacial surgery, facial feminization surgery, reconstructive facial surgery, trauma and facial bone reconstruction, and advanced facial aesthetic surgery. Three procedure areas are connected to him here: facial feminization surgery, V-line surgery and jaw contouring.

Where he is listed. Official hospital pages place him at five Bangkok facilities: Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital, Wansiri Hospital, Vejthani Hospital, Samitivej Thonburi Hospital and MedPark Hospital. The listing type differs at each one (see the roles section below), so ask which hospital a particular operation would be carried out in.

Spelling of his name. English-language profiles use Sarut Chaisrisawadisuk. The Thai-language Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun profile writes the given name as Saruj, and the Samitivej Thonburi directory uses Chaisrisawatsuk for the surname. The qualifications on all of these pages are the same, so we treat them as one surgeon. If you search for him yourself, try more than one spelling.

Languages. Only the Vejthani Hospital profile names languages for him: English and Thai.

Basis of this profile. The surgeon-specific facts below come from the hospital profiles our researchers read on 2 October 2026, and the hospital facts come from our own hospital pages. Nothing here is a recommendation or ranking; you can read how we work on the provider research methodology page. To enquire, use request a consultation with Dr. Sarut.

The profiles describe a route from a Thai medical degree through two surgical board diplomas to two fellowships abroad, both centred on the face. In date order:

• 2009, Doctor of Medicine (M.D.): awarded by the Siriraj Hospital faculty of medicine at Mahidol University, Thailand. This is shown on the Vejthani Hospital profile.
• 2014, Diploma, Thai Board of Surgery: Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand (FRCST), as listed by Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital.
• 2017, Diploma, Thai Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand (FRCST), from the same profile.
• 2019, clinical fellowship in facial feminization surgery: Facialteam, Marbella, Spain.
• 2021, clinical fellowship in craniomaxillofacial surgery: the Australian Craniofacial Unit in Adelaide, Australia. The profile adds that the unit is now called the Cleft and Craniofacial SA Unit and works through the Womens and Childrens Hospital and the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

How the two fellowships may fit together. This paragraph is our general reading, not a statement from any hospital. Facial feminization and facial bone contouring both work on the same structures: forehead, cheekbones, jaw angle and chin. Craniofacial training concerns reshaping and repositioning facial bone, so it would be reasonable for the two fellowships to overlap in the skills they draw on. The hospital profiles only name the fellowships. They do not say what he did during them, what he operated on, or how many cases he performed, so those are worth asking about directly.

Society memberships. The Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun profile states four memberships: ThPRS (plastic and reconstructive surgery in Thailand), ThSAPS (aesthetic plastic surgery in Thailand), the international body ISAPS and the American body ASPS. Wansiri Hospital's profile adds the transgender health association WPATH, whose full name is World Professional Association for Transgender Health. Each society membership is recorded as stated by the hospital.

Medical licence. Wansiri Hospital's profile gives a Medical Council of Thailand licence number of 37987. 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. Checking it before you travel is possible directly, or with help from our patient team.

What the sources leave out. No source we read gives his years in practice or case volumes, and we found no publications that we could reliably tie to him, so none are stated here. Where either matters for your decision, raise it directly during the consultation.

The sources show one academic post and a set of hospital listings, each of a different kind.

Academic post. Wansiri Hospital's profile gives his rank as Assistant Professor in connection with the plastic and reconstructive surgery division at Siriraj Hospital, the same institution that awarded his medical degree.

Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital. His profile there places him in the Surgery Center, Plastic Surgery, with a clinic session on Tuesdays from 13:00 to 15:00. Its contact page gives the location as 2 Wanglang Road, Bangkoknoi, Bangkok 10700. Our research file classes it as a public hospital. On its accreditation page the hospital reports Joint Commission International accreditation, in a fourth cycle that began on 18 Nov 2023 and ends on 17 Nov 2026. We were unable to open the JCI directory, so the status is the hospital's own claim, not something confirmed at source; with that end date close, it is worth asking where its renewal stands. Clinic times change; our team can confirm the current one.

Wansiri Hospital. He appears in the Surgery Team for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Our Wansiri Hospital page places the hospital on Rama 3 Road in Bangkok and lists, among procedures an official hospital page says it offers, jaw contouring and chin reduction. His interests in facial bone contouring are described in most detail on this hospital's profile.

Vejthani Hospital. The doctor directory there lists him under Plastic Surgery. It is also the page that gives his languages. Our hospital page describes Vejthani as a private hospital in eastern Bangkok.

Samitivej Thonburi Hospital. The directory, which places the hospital at 337 Somdet Phra Chao Tak Sin Road in the Samre area of Thon Buri, lists him as a part-time doctor in Plastic Surgery within the Surgery department. It spells his name Asst.Prof. Saruj Chaisrisawatsuk and shows the same qualifications.

MedPark Hospital. He is named among the doctors of the hospital's Surgical Center, with the specialty given simply as Surgery. Of the five listings this is the least specific, so ask whether a given facial operation is done there at all.

Planning consequence. Being listed at a hospital does not tell you which operations he performs there. The theatre, anaesthetic team, ward and aftercare all belong to the hospital. When you make your request, ask which facility is proposed for your operation and what the reason is.

Three procedure areas are tied to Dr. Sarut Chaisrisawadisuk by official hospital pages. Each heading separates the documented facts about him from broader guidance taken from our own procedure pages.

### Facial feminization surgery (FFS)

Documented. FFS is listed among his areas of expertise on the Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun profile and in the focus list on Wansiri Hospital's profile. The Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun profile also records his 2019 clinical fellowship in facial feminization surgery at Facialteam in Marbella, Spain.

In general. Facial feminization surgery refers to a set of operations that alter features commonly read as masculine, including the brow ridge, hairline, nose, cheeks, lips, jaw and chin, so that the face reads as more feminine. It is individual to each face. Components often seen are feminizing rhinoplasty, cheek augmentation, lip lift, forehead contouring and brow bone reduction together with hairline advancement, jaw angle reduction with chin reshaping (jaw and chin feminization) and tracheal shave. Most people have several, either in a single operation or in stages.

Points patients commonly raise. Surgeons generally review the face from photographs and in person, and often ask for a CT scan when bone work is planned. Our FFS page gives a very wide range for operating time, about 2 to 10 hours depending on what is combined, and 1 to 3 hospital nights as the common stay. Since a very long combined operation raises the risk, some surgeons spread the work over stages; you could ask whether he would suggest one operation or several for your case. WPATH Standards of Care version 8 does not set a minimum period of hormone therapy before facial surgery, but each surgeon can have their own requirements, so ask him. His WPATH membership is stated on the Wansiri Hospital profile.

If you have already had facial feminization elsewhere and want to change part of the result, our guide to revision facial feminization covers the general issues. None of the profiles we read says whether he accepts revision cases, so that question belongs at the consultation.

### V-line surgery

Documented. Facial bone contouring surgery (V-line) is named in the focus list on Wansiri Hospital's profile.

In general. V-line surgery aims to narrow the lower face so that the outline from jaw to chin tapers. The detail of V-line surgery will come from your consultation; see our V-line surgery page. Questions patients commonly bring: which bones would be reshaped, how the nerves serving the lower lip and chin are protected, where the incisions would be, what recovery involves, and how far the change can go given your own bone structure.

### Jaw contouring (jaw reduction)

Documented. Wansiri Hospital's profile lists facial bone contouring surgery in the form of jaw reduction, and names zygoma (cheekbone) reduction in the same list of interests.

In general. Jaw contouring, also called mandible reduction or jaw reduction, alters the width or angle of the lower jaw. Our page treats V-line surgery as a related technique. Since jaw angle reduction also appears inside FFS, it is fair to ask how a contouring plan differs from a feminizing one and whether the two would ever be done together.

### Other documented interests

Wansiri Hospital's profile also names craniofacial surgery, reconstructive facial surgery, and trauma and facial bone reconstruction, and the Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun profile gives cleft lip and palate surgery as a subspecialty. These are reconstructive services, not cosmetic ones, and we do not list them for him on this site. If reconstructive care is what you need, tell the patient team so they can ask the hospital whether this is the right route.

Not documented. No source we read lists him for rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast surgery or body contouring. We have not linked him to them and you should not assume he offers them.

Suitability is settled at the consultation, and nothing on this page or on our procedure pages replaces an individual assessment by a qualified surgeon. The points below are general topics patients raise for facial bone and facial feminization surgery, shaped around the areas documented for Dr. Sarut.

Your goals, in your own words. For FFS, say which features you want changed and which you wish to keep. For contouring, say whether you are after a narrower jaw, less cheekbone prominence, a more tapered chin or a mix, and bring face photographs from several angles. A workable plan weighs what you want against what your bone and soft tissue allow safely.

Imaging. Ask whether a CT scan will be requested, where it should be taken, and whether it can be done before you travel. Our FFS page explains that a CT scan shows the shape and thickness of the bones, including the frontal sinus, which supports safe planning of forehead, jaw and chin work.

One operation or stages. Ask how many components are proposed, how long the surgery is expected to last and whether the plan would be split to limit operating time. For someone flying in from overseas, staging changes the trip, so raise it early.

Risks. In general, facial feminization and bone contouring can involve bleeding, infection, asymmetry, numbness (for example of the scalp after forehead surgery, or affecting the lower lip and chin after chin or jaw surgery), nerve weakness that is usually temporary, scarring, hair loss near incisions, sinus problems after forehead surgery and the need for revision. Ask how each applies to your plan and who deals with a complication after you have gone home.

Anaesthesia and stay. FFS is usually done under general anaesthesia. Ask which hospital and anaesthetic team would be used, how many nights you would spend in the ward, and what happens if you need to be seen urgently after discharge.

Recovery and flights. Our general guidance describes significant swelling and bruising in the first week, particularly after forehead and jaw work. Stitches usually come out at around 7 to 14 days, with early checks before flying. Most swelling settles over several weeks, subtle swelling and numbness can last months, and results can keep refining for up to a year. Our FFS page tells overseas patients to budget 10 to 14 days in the country, and longer after extensive combined surgery. Whether you can fly is his or his team's decision, not yours or ours.

Results photographs. It is reasonable to ask to see examples on faces similar to yours. The profiles we read do not publish results galleries, so treat anything shown to you as the surgeon's own material and ask how it was obtained and whether the patients consented.

Cost. No source gives a price for him, which is why none appears here. Request an itemised quote in writing that separates the surgeon's fee, hospital charges, anaesthesia, ward nights and scans. Our procedure cost guidance explains what usually moves the price of facial surgery.

All five hospitals that list Dr. Sarut are in Bangkok, so a single city base can cover consultation, surgery and follow-up. Our Bangkok guide has general travel information.

Languages at the hospitals. The Vejthani Hospital profile lists English and Thai for him. Our Wansiri Hospital page shows English and Thai as the hospital's languages, and our MedPark Hospital page shows an international patient desk and several languages. For Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital our research found no published international patient desk, and we hold no source on interpreters at Samitivej Thonburi. If you need an interpreter or documents in a particular language, ask our team to check with the specific hospital before you commit.

Where to stay. In general, people having facial surgery are advised to stay close to the hospital, bring front-opening clothes and plan soft foods if jaw or chin work is involved. The hospitals are spread across Bangkok: Rama 3 Road for Wansiri, Wanglang Road in Bangkok Noi for Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun, and Thon Buri for Samitivej Thonburi. The one proposed for your operation therefore affects where it makes sense to book a room.

Length of stay. Our FFS page puts the usual stay in Thailand at 10 to 14 days, with more time if the surgery is extensive and combined. Our jaw contouring page gives the same 10 to 14 days; our V-line page does not yet state a typical stay, so ask the team what to plan for V-line work. A flexible return ticket is wise, since you can fly only when the surgeon agrees.

After you return. Ask what aftercare is included, how to send photographs or messages once you are home, and what to do if something worries you. Ask too whether a doctor in your own country should be told about the operation, especially after bone surgery.

A companion. After facial bone surgery many people find the first days easier with someone alongside. This is general advice and not a requirement set by any hospital.

Preparation lets the first conversation concentrate on your plan rather than on collecting basic details. The lists below are general guidance for facial bone and facial feminization surgery.

Photographs.

• Sharp, evenly lit pictures of your face straight on, in profile on both sides and at each three-quarter angle, with a relaxed expression and your hair pulled back off the forehead.
• One picture with the chin slightly lowered, which shows the brow and hairline better.
• Side-on pictures of your neck if you are thinking about tracheal shave.
• If you have had facial surgery before, pictures from before it, where you have them.

Avoid heavy filters, wide-angle selfie distortion and strong shadows.

Medical information.

• Current medicines and supplements, including any hormone therapy and how long you have taken it. WPATH SOC-8 does not require hormone therapy for facial surgery, but it matters for planning and recovery, and surgeons may hold their own preferences.
• Allergies, past reactions to anaesthesia and previous operations.
• Conditions such as clotting problems, sinus problems, diabetes, or heart or lung disease.
• Smoking and vaping, because both slow healing.
• Any scans you already have, such as a recent CT. Check first whether an existing scan will do or a new one is needed.

For contouring (V-line, jaw reduction). Describe how you would like your jaw, chin and cheeks to look and what led you to consider surgery. Mention dental work, braces, jaw pain or bite problems, since the jaw and teeth are closely linked.

For facial feminization. List the features you want changed in order of priority, and say whether you lean towards one combined operation or staged ones. Mention hairline concerns such as recession and whether you have thought about a hair transplant, which our FFS page says may stand in for hairline surgery or be added to it.

Practical details. The dates that suit you, how long you can stay, where you live and whether someone will travel with you.

Questions to bring. Write them down beforehand. Useful ones are: which hospital would be used, how long the operation would take, what the written quote includes, how revisions are handled and what follow-up is offered after you fly home.

All of this can go in with your consultation request; our team forwards it to the hospital for you.
