Dr. Satit Chaiprasithikul

Dr. Satit Chaiprasithikul (Thai: นพ. สาฑิตย์ ชัยประสิทธิกุล) is a male doctor whose stated expertise is facial plastic and reconstructive surgery together with otolaryngology, the field commonly called ear, nose and throat (ENT) medicine. He appears on the official Praram 9 Hospital website, where the hospital places him in its Ear, Nose and Throat Center, a different department from the one that houses its dermatology and plastic surgery doctors.

Praram 9 Hospital is a privately run hospital found in Huai Khwang, one of Bangkok's districts. Our Praram 9 Hospital page describes the facility and the doctors we have found on its official pages. No second workplace turned up in any source we read.

This matters for how you read his profile. A facial plastic surgeon whose training began in ENT has a different starting point from a surgeon who trained in general plastic and reconstructive surgery. Both routes exist, and neither is better in the abstract; what counts is whether the doctor's documented focus fits the operation you are considering.

The hospital describes his expertise only as "Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery" and "Otolaryngology". It does not name individual operations, so we do not attribute any specific cosmetic procedure to him on this page. If one particular operation is what brings you here, our team will raise precisely that point with the hospital ahead of any decision to fly.

To ask for an appointment, request a consultation with Dr. Satit Chaiprasithikul. Requests go to our patient team and are answered once the hospital has replied.

Everything in this section comes from Praram 9 Hospital's English and Thai doctor profiles, checked on 2 October 2026. It rests on the hospital's profile alone; the licence can be looked up on the Medical Council of Thailand's public register at checkmd.tmc.or.th. Please read it as the hospital's published account.

• Medical degree: Doctor of Medicine from Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, 1986.
• Residency: Oto-Rhino-Laryngology (ear, nose and throat) at Phramongkutklao College of Medicine, 1992.
• Certificate: a 2005 entry credited to the Medical Council of Thailand. The English profile words it as plastic and reconstruction surgery, while the Thai profile uses wording that means facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Put simply, the documented path is a medical degree, specialist ENT training, and then a recorded qualification in the facial plastic and reconstructive field. The profile gives no institution for the 2005 entry, so we cannot say where that training took place and we have not guessed.

What the profile leaves out: no fellowship, no society membership, no academic appointment, no publications and no languages are listed. We did not find his name on any society member list we were able to search, so we do not describe him as a member of one. A missing listing proves nothing either way; it simply reflects what the pages we could open do and do not say.

Before any surgery, you can search the Medical Council of Thailand register for a doctor's licence, and ask the hospital to confirm a qualification in writing. Our research methodology explains how we gather and label these facts.

The one current role documented for Dr. Satit Chaiprasithikul is at Praram 9 Hospital in Bangkok, where he is listed as a doctor in the Ear, Nose and Throat Center (ศูนย์หู คอ จมูก). The profile gives no start date, no earlier posts and no other places of work.

We do not state years in practice, operation counts or outcomes, because none of them appear in the sources we opened. If a figure like that matters to you, ask for it in a consultation and ask what it is based on. A surgeon who regularly performs an operation can usually describe the kinds of cases they see and how they approach them.

On its own pages the hospital describes a Skin and Plastic Surgery centre whose listed services are dermatology and cosmetic laser treatments, plus botulinum toxin and filler injections. His listing is under ENT instead, so when you send a request, say clearly that you want to see him, and let our patient team confirm with the hospital which clinic the appointment would be held in.

The documented practice area is facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, alongside otolaryngology. Facial plastic surgery is a broad label. It can cover cosmetic operations on the nose, eyelids, face and neck as well as reconstruction after injury, disease or earlier surgery. Reconstruction and appearance often overlap, particularly in the nose, where shape and breathing are linked.

Because his profile names no individual operations, our system links no procedures to him. That is deliberate: on this site a procedure is attached to a surgeon only when an official source names it, and here none does.

Nose surgery, in general. Patients who consider an ENT-trained facial plastic surgeon very often ask about the nose. In general, rhinoplasty reshapes the bone and cartilage structure of the nose and redrapes the skin over it. When the internal septum is also corrected to improve airflow, the operation is called septorhinoplasty. Our guides to rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty describe the operation, usual recovery and risks. They are general information and not a statement that Dr. Satit performs these operations.

Facial rejuvenation, in general. Other patients ask about the lower face and neck. Our facelift and neck lift pages explain what those operations aim to do. Whether he offers them is something only the hospital can confirm.

How to use this. If his combination of ENT and facial plastic expertise is what draws you, write down the exact operation you want to discuss and include it in your request. Our patient team will ask whether he treats that problem at Praram 9. Where the answer is no, we will tell you and can point to other surgeons whose official profiles document the procedure, so you do not travel for a consultation that cannot help. Suitability for any operation is a matter for an in-person examination.

The points below are general guidance for consultations with an ENT-trained facial plastic surgeon. They do not describe how Dr. Satit Chaiprasithikul runs his appointments, which we do not know.

• Your goal in your own words. Explain what you dislike and what change you want, and bring pictures of your own face that show it, not only pictures of other people.
• Function as well as appearance. If the surgery involves the nose, mention blocked breathing, earlier injury, allergies and sinus problems. These shape the plan, and an ENT-trained doctor is well placed to examine them.
• Previous surgery. Operations on the face or nose in any country change what is possible. Bring operation notes if you have them.
• Which operation, and why. Ask the surgeon to explain the recommended technique, which alternatives exist, and what the operation cannot do.
• Facility and anaesthetic. Ask where the operation would take place, who gives the anaesthetic, and whether you would stay overnight in hospital.
• Risks and complications. Every operation carries risks, including bleeding, infection, scarring and an outcome that falls short of your hopes. Ask for the main risks of your specific operation, how complications are managed, and who looks after you if something worries you once you are back home.
• Recovery and timing. As general guidance, our rhinoplasty page puts most visible swelling at 2 to 3 weeks, with the tip still refining a year or longer after surgery, and a stay in Thailand of 7 to 10 days is common. Individual recovery varies, so ask the surgeon how long you should stay for your own case before booking flights.
• What the price covers. Ask for a written treatment plan that states what the fee includes, such as surgeon, anaesthetist, facility, medication and follow-up visits.

It is reasonable to leave a consultation without deciding. A good consultation should leave you better informed, not pressured.

The facts below come from Praram 9 Hospital's own website and describe the hospital, not Dr. Satit Chaiprasithikul in particular.

• Interpreters. The hospital offers interpreters to foreign patients at every stage of a visit, from arrangements made before you arrive until after discharge, with the service available every day from 7.00 am to 5.00 pm.
• Languages. Interpreting is stated for English, Mandarin, Burmese, Khmer, Japanese and Arabic, according to the hospital's foreign-patient coordination page. Whether Dr. Satit himself speaks any of these is not documented, so we list no languages on his profile.
• Contact numbers. Dedicated numbers are published for international and expatriate patients, split by country group, including Myanmar, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China and Arab countries.
• Getting there. The hospital describes two free services: one shuttle van collecting from Exit 1 of Phetchaburi MRT, and one shuttle bus serving Makkasan station on the Airport Rail Link. The hospital sits at 99 Bang Kapi, in Huai Khwang.

We have not recorded a current JCI or HA Thailand accreditation for Praram 9 Hospital. We list accreditation only once we have seen it confirmed by the accrediting organisation or in a dated hospital statement. That is not a finding that the hospital lacks accreditation; ask the hospital directly if it matters to you.

For wider trip planning, see our Bangkok guide. Ask our patient team what the hospital advises about the length of your stay before you book flights or accommodation.

Good information at the start saves time and helps the doctor give a useful answer. For a facial plastic or ENT-related enquiry, prepare the following.

• Photographs. Clear, evenly lit photos of the area of concern in daylight, without make-up, taken from the front and both sides. For the nose, add a view from below and one from above. Use a plain background and no filters.
• Medical history. Current medicines, allergies, previous operations, long-term conditions, and whether you smoke or vape. Smoking and nicotine can affect healing, so expect to be asked about it.
• Breathing and sinus history. If the nose is involved, describe blocked breathing, snoring, sinus infections, injuries and earlier nasal surgery.
• Records from earlier surgery. Operation notes, implant or graft details if known, and photographs from before the operation.
• Your goals. A short written description, plus a few reference images that show the kind of change you like, with a note about what you do not want.
• Practical limits. Your travel dates, budget range, and any questions about aftercare at home.

Send these with your consultation request. We use them only to prepare your request, and we do not ask for payment details at this stage.
