Dr. พญ.ปิยรัตน์ พูตระกูล

Dr. Piyarat Pootragool (พญ.ปิยรัตน์ พูตระกูล) is a woman doctor trained in ENT (ear, nose and throat) medicine. Her recorded specialty is the Thai-named field ศัลยศาสตร์ตกแต่งและเสริมสร้างใบหน้า, meaning plastic and reconstructive surgery of the face. Her current documented post is ENT physician at Sikarin Hospital on the Bang Na side of Bangkok, where the hospital places her in its ENT Center. A doctor page under the same name also exists on the website of Teeraporn Hospital.

Everything on this page comes from those hospital pages and nothing else. They describe her field but name no individual cosmetic operations, so we list none. If a particular facial procedure interests you, ask us through the consultation form, and we will check with Sikarin whether it falls within her practice.

The way we collect and verify details about doctors is set out in our research methodology article.

Two qualifications appear on her Sikarin Hospital profile:

• A Doctor of Medicine degree awarded through Mahidol University's Ramathibodi Hospital.
• The Thai board certificate in Otolaryngology (วุฒิบัตรโสต ศอ นาสิก ลาริงซ์วิทยา), again through Mahidol University, Ramathibodi Hospital.

Her subspecialty is stated as reconstructive and cosmetic work on the face, and the page refers to belonging to a society in that area (สมาคมศัลยกรรมตกแต่งและเสริมสร้างใบหน้า), worded as it appears on the page.

Her training years and any fellowship are not listed on this profile. 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. "Not documented" does not mean "does not exist"; these are fair questions to ask in a consultation.

She is currently an ENT physician at Sikarin Hospital. Under its past-experience heading, the hospital's profile also names Chulabhorn Hospital (โรงพยาบาลจุฬาภรณ์), with no dates and no job title.

The Sikarin profile shows a Friday morning session, 09:00 to 12:00, at the ENT Center. Sessions move, so read this as a guide only; our patient team can confirm what is current before you arrange any travel.

She is also named on a doctor page at Teeraporn Hospital. That page carries no biography or procedure list, and we linked it to her solely because the Thai name is identical. For that reason we have taken nothing further from it.

In general, an ENT doctor with facial plastic training can look at appearance and at how the nose and airway work together. Patients commonly raise these points at a first visit:

• Which of your goals are about appearance and which relate to breathing or other symptoms.
• Whether she herself carries out the procedure you are considering, and at which hospital.
• What recovery involves and when it would be safe to fly home.
• What the risks are in your own case and how any complication would be handled.

Because no specific procedures are published for her, bring a clear description of the change you want and ask her to say plainly what she does and does not offer. No procedure can be judged right for you until a doctor has examined you in person. For general background on nose and facial procedures, see our procedure guides.

Her Sikarin Hospital entry gives two languages, Thai and English. Whether the hospital runs services for foreign visitors, such as an interpreter or a pickup from the airport, is not something we have verified, so we do not claim it. We can put that question to them for you.

The hospital is at number 976, La Salle Road, in Bangkok's Bang Na Tai subdistrict (postcode 10260). Our Bangkok city guide covers getting around and where to stay in the capital.
