Dr. Somboon Thammarungrong

Dr. Somboon Thammarungrong (Thai: นพ.สมบูรณ์ ธรรมรังรอง) operates at Yanhee International Hospital in Bangkok. Yanhee is a private hospital whose Bangkok site lies in Bang Phlat district, on Charansanitwong Road, and its English page about Dr. Somboon records him as one of its plastic surgeons from 1998 onward.

The Thai-language version of his Yanhee profile adds that he belongs to two hospital units: the Plastic Surgery Center, in Thai ศูนย์ศัลยกรรมตกแต่ง, and a unit named ศูนย์แก้ไขศัลยกรรมตกแต่งที่ไม่พึงพอใจจากที่อื่น. People dissatisfied with a cosmetic operation done at another hospital or clinic are seen in that second unit.

What Yanhee documents for him. Under the heading ประสบการณ์ในการรักษา ('treatment experience'), the Thai profile names these treatments: double eyelid surgery and removal of the fat bags under the eyes; nose augmentation; breast augmentation; facelift and neck lift; excision of abdominal fat together with liposuction; and Botox and filler injections. His name also appears on two of Yanhee's English service pages. The eyelid surgery page lists him among the doctors available for that operation, and the page on breast augmentation with Motiva implants includes him among the surgeons who use that brand. On top of this, he is credited as the medical reviewer of the hospital's main English page on breast augmentation.

Details that help when you check him elsewhere:

• Spelling of the surname. Yanhee's English profile writes *Thammarungrong*. The header and web address of his Thai profile, his entry with ThPRS, the Thai society for plastic and reconstructive surgeons,, plus the old surgeon list kept by ThSAPS, the Thai society for aesthetic plastic surgeons, write *Thamrungrong*. Every one of these sources gives the same Thai name, สมบูรณ์ ธรรมรังรอง, so a search under either spelling should lead to him.
• Medical degree and specialty. Chulalongkorn University awarded his medical degree in 1989; he then completed general surgery followed by plastic surgery training at Phramongkutklao, and was awarded his Thai board diploma in plastic surgery, known in Thai as a วุฒิบัตร, in 1995.
• Languages. The English Yanhee profile gives Thai and English.
• Other workplaces. Yanhee is the only one. Our English- and Thai-language searches turned up no present-day listing for Dr. Somboon at a second hospital or clinic.

Anyone weighing the operations above can request a consultation with Dr. Somboon here. Our patient team takes it from there, asking Yanhee for his availability before replying to you; no appointment exists until they have confirmed it.

Both of Yanhee's profiles publish Dr. Somboon's education, and they complement each other. The English page summarises the main steps; the Thai page adds Buddhist-era dates, names the awarding institutions and lists the courses and meetings he attended afterwards. Below we give the Western-calendar year first, the Buddhist-era year where the Thai page states one, and institution names spelled as the hospital writes them.

• 1989, medical degree. Chulalongkorn University's Doctor of Medicine (แพทยศาสตรบัณฑิต, B.E. 2532).
• 1993, general surgery. Listed on the English profile under 'Specialty Training', at 'Pramongkutklao Army Hospital'.
• 1993, surgical graduate diploma. Graduate Diploma in Clinical Medical Science (Surgery) from Mahidol University, dated B.E. 2536 on the Thai profile.
• 1995, plastic and reconstructive surgery. The second 'Specialty Training' entry on the English profile, again at Pramongkutklao.
• 1995, specialist diploma. Yanhee's Thai page shows a plastic surgery วุฒิบัตร (สาขาศัลยศาสตร์ตกแต่ง) from B.E. 2538 and names Phramongkutklao College of Medicine, Mahidol University (วิทยาลัยแพทยศาสตร์พระมงกุฎเกล้า มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล), as the awarding body.

Outside confirmation of the plastic surgery years. Phramongkutklao's training programme in plastic and reconstructive surgery publishes an alumni list, and Dr. Somboon appears in its seventh intake (รุ่นที่ 7), with Yanhee Hospital, Bangkok, as his workplace. The English directory that ThSAPS ran on its former website also recorded 'Finished training in: 1995' against his name. One naming difference remains: the English profile calls the training site 'Pramongkutklao Army Hospital', while the Thai profile names Phramongkutklao College of Medicine, Mahidol University, as the body behind the diploma. We report each as published rather than combining them.

Later courses and meetings. The Thai profile lists the following after his specialist training. They show continuing education that the hospital chose to publish; we do not present them as further qualifications.

• 2006, Chiang Mai: the 13th ASEAN plastic surgery meeting, held together with the 5th simulated-surgery meeting of an international society.
• 2007, Bangkok: a certificate from a live-surgery course on buttock and hip augmentation using purpose-made silicone implants.
• 2010, Phuket: the joint annual meeting of ThPRS and ThSAPS, held with TST.
• January 2019: a course at Chulalongkorn Hospital published as 'Head and Neck Construction and Aesthetic Sergery' (the spelling is Yanhee's).
• 2022: advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS), recorded in Thai as resuscitation training (ผ่านการอบรมการกู้ชีพ).
• 2023: the annual meeting of ThPRS and ThSAPS.
• 2024: the Medical Hub Executive Program (MEP 2024), run by the Department of Health Service Support at the Ministry of Public Health.

No fellowship appears on either profile. Buttock augmentation is absent from his treatment-experience list, so we treat the 2007 course as a record of training only and do not show buttock implants among his procedures.

Earlier posts in Roi Et. The 'Medical Experience' part of the English Yanhee profile names two workplaces before Yanhee, both in Roi Et Province in Thailand's north-east: a general hospital in the province and Thawatburi Community Hospital. The profile gives neither dates nor job titles for them, and we have not supplied any.

Yanhee International Hospital, 1998 to the present. The English profile describes his current role as plastic surgeon at Yanhee since 1998. Three sources outside the hospital's own profile point to the same workplace. ThPRS, in a member entry posted in 2019, records his contact address as Yanhee Hospital's Plastic Surgery Unit, Bang Phlat. The former ThSAPS directory named Yanhee as his practice, and the Phramongkutklao alumni list shows Yanhee, Bangkok. Inside the hospital, his Thai profile adds a second listing, at the unit that corrects cosmetic surgery done by other providers.

Medical reviewer for Yanhee's breast augmentation page. The hospital's main English page on breast augmentation carries the line 'Medically reviewed by Dr. Somboon Thammarungrong, plastic surgeon' and a 'last updated' date of July 2026. That page's own list of available doctors does not include him; his link to breast augmentation comes from the Motiva implants page and from his Thai profile.

Society memberships.

• ThPRS: his entry on the society's public member directory at thprs.org reads นพ.สมบูรณ์ ธรรมรังรอง / Somboon Thamrungrong. Both Yanhee profiles also name this membership. A search of the newer surgeon directory at plasticsurgery.or.th produced no entry for him.
• ThSAPS: he was member 167 on the surgeon list of the society's old website, in a copy archived in early 2020. That website no longer opens and ThSAPS publishes no current list, so his present membership is supported only by the Yanhee profiles.
• Medical Council of Thailand: named on the Thai profile under 'members/clubs' (สมาชิก/ชมรม).
• Not claimed: the Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand's member search returned nothing for his Thai surname, and neither Yanhee profile mentions ISAPS.

Publications. Neither profile lists any, and PubMed returned no articles under either spelling of his surname.

Medical licence. 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. His ThPRS entry gives the licence number ว.15485. Before you commit to surgery, you can enter that number or his Thai name on the Council's register yourself.

Each area in this section is linked to Dr. Somboon by a Yanhee document: his Thai profile's treatment-experience entries, or an English service page that names him. After the evidence for each area comes a summary, in general terms, of what our own procedure guides say about how such operations commonly go; his profiles say nothing about his personal methods, so technique is something to ask him about directly.

Eyelids: [blepharoplasty](/procedures/blepharoplasty/), [double eyelid surgery](/procedures/double-eyelid-surgery/) and [lower eyelid surgery](/procedures/lower-blepharoplasty/). Evidence: Yanhee's English eyelid surgery page includes him among its available doctors, while ตาสองชั้น (double eyelid) sits on his Thai profile next to ตัดถุงไขมันใต้ตา (removal of the fatty pouches under the eyes).

In general, upper-lid surgery trims surplus skin, occasionally a little fat too, with the scar tucked into the lid's natural crease line. To make a double eyelid, the surgeon either opens the planned crease with a full incision or, in lids that suit it, sets the crease with buried stitches; the stitch method involves less surgery, but its crease can fade sooner. Puffy lower lids are treated by removing or moving fat, the surgeon reaching them via a fine incision at the lash line or via the lid's inner lining, the second route leaving no visible scar. Eyelid patients from abroad commonly remain in Thailand for 5–7 days, the point at which stitches are taken out, according to our guides, and most bruising fades within 1–2 weeks. A newly made crease often sits higher than expected at first and settles over the following months. Two conditions look similar but need other operations: a drooping upper-lid margin calls for ptosis correction, and heaviness caused by a low brow may be better helped by a brow lift. Neither appears on his documented list, so ask whether he would handle it himself or refer you.

Nose augmentation ([Asian rhinoplasty](/procedures/asian-rhinoplasty/)). Evidence: his Thai profile lists เสริมจมูก, augmentation of the nose.

In general, augmentation builds up a flat bridge or a short, low tip. Surgeons shape it either from grafts of your own cartilage (septal, ear or rib) or from a synthetic implant, for example ePTFE or silicone. Your own tissue avoids a foreign body but needs a donor site; an implant avoids a second wound but brings its own risks, including infection, movement or the implant working through the skin, any of which can mean taking it out. Yanhee's hospital-level page on nose implants names silicone, Gore-Tex and Medpor implants and also ear or rib cartilage; Dr. Somboon's profile does not say which he favours. Our rhinoplasty guide notes that the external splint usually comes off between day 5 and day 10, that a stay of commonly 7–10 days is typical, and that swelling at the tip can take 12 months or more to settle fully. Augmentation is what his profile documents; if you want a hump reduced or the nose narrowed, ask him plainly whether he takes on that kind of reshaping.

[Breast augmentation](/procedures/breast-augmentation/). Evidence: three separate Yanhee sources. The Motiva implants page counts him among the Yanhee surgeons doing augmentation with that brand, his Thai profile lists เสริมหน้าอก, and the hospital's English breast augmentation page credits him as its medical reviewer.

In general, a breast augmentation plan brings together three choices. The implant can be filled with silicone gel or saline, round or teardrop-shaped, and smooth or textured. The cut is usually made in the crease under the breast, along the lower border of the areola, or in the armpit. The implant pocket is created either over the pectoral muscle or partly under it. Texture is worth a specific question: BIA-ALCL, an uncommon lymphoma, has been linked with a higher risk in certain textured implants, so ask Dr. Somboon which shell surface he would pick for you and his reasons. Implants do not last a lifetime, so expect that another operation to exchange or remove them may be needed at some point. For breast augmentation our guide gives a stay of about 7–10 days, with most limits on lifting and exercise eased at around 4–6 weeks on your surgeon's advice. Keep your implant card, which records the brand, size, type and lot number. If your nipples sit low, a breast lift may be advised with or instead of implants; a lift is not among his documented procedures, so raise it early if it could apply to you.

[Facelift](/procedures/facelift/) and [neck lift](/procedures/neck-lift/). Evidence: his Thai profile lists ดึงหน้า and ดึงคอ, facelift and neck lift, as a single entry.

As a general rule, facelift surgery lifts sagging deep tissue along the jawline and lower cheeks back into place, often treats the neck in the same session, and removes the skin left over. It leaves the brow, the eyelids and fine surface creases of the skin largely untouched, which is one reason it is often paired with other procedures. Surgeons choose between smaller mini lifts and more extensive work on the deeper layers, such as SMAS or deep plane techniques. Yanhee's facelift page mentions mid-facelift, neck lift and endoscopic options among the hospital's services; Dr. Somboon's profile does not say which he uses. Our facelift guide names haematoma, bleeding that pools under the skin and may have to be drained, as the commonest serious complication. Other risks include facial nerve weakness, which is usually temporary, numbness, noticeable scars, hair loss beside the incisions and slow skin healing, which is more likely in people who smoke. The guide suggests commonly 10–14 days in Thailand, with stitches taken out in stages from about the first week; ask him how many nights you would spend in hospital. Since his Thai profile also covers eyelids, a lid operation could be discussed alongside a facelift; such pairings are common, though they mean a longer anaesthetic and a longer recovery.

Abdominal fat excision ([tummy tuck](/procedures/tummy-tuck/)) and [liposuction](/procedures/liposuction/). Evidence: the entry ตัดไขมันหน้าท้องและดูดไขมัน on his Thai profile. We read the first half as a tummy tuck because Yanhee's own Thai body-contouring page uses การตัดไขมันหน้าท้อง as its term for abdominoplasty.

Generally speaking, abdominoplasty cuts away the overhang of lax skin and fat below the navel; a full operation usually also stitches separated or stretched abdominal muscles together and gives the navel a new opening. A mini tummy tuck is a smaller operation confined to the area below the navel; ask Dr. Somboon which he would recommend for your abdomen. Neither version is a way to lose weight. Surgeons generally prefer to operate once your weight has been stable for some time and you have decided against further pregnancies. Our guide describes drains and a compression garment in the first days, a usual stay of 12–14 days in Thailand, and a return to heavy lifting and core exercise at about 6 weeks. Preventing blood clots matters, particularly before a long-haul flight.

Liposuction reduces fat in chosen areas but does not tighten loose skin. Yanhee offers tumescent and VASER liposuction at hospital level; in general, the surgeon's judgement counts for more than the device, and there are safe limits on how much fat can be removed in one session. For liposuction the guide mentions roughly 7–10 days in Thailand, a compression garment worn in the early weeks, and a final shape that shows between 3 and 6 months after surgery.

Botox and filler. His Thai profile includes these injections in its treatment-experience entries. We have no guide on injectables and do not count them among his surgical procedures; if you would like them during the same visit, say so in your request.

Correcting surgery done elsewhere. Yanhee lists him at its revision unit but does not say which operations he corrects there. If your concern follows an eyelid, nose, breast or body operation performed somewhere else, send the records listed further down this page so he can judge whether your case fits his work. With noses, our rhinoplasty guide advises patience: surgeons tend to hold off a second operation for a year or longer, while the swelling from the first one subsides.

Outside his documented work. No gender-affirming surgery is listed for him; Yanhee provides that through its Pride Center, described on the Yanhee hospital profile and in our gender-affirming surgery section. Chin, jaw, cheek and buttock procedures are not on his documented list either.

Choosing a format. You can consult Dr. Somboon online while you are still at home, or in person at Yanhee in Bangkok. Yanhee also runs its own free pre-assessment online; an international coordinator at the hospital looks it over before your trip. Any plan drawn up from photos is provisional: in general, only an in-person examination lets the surgeon confirm it, and the hospital carries out pre-operative tests before any operation.

Language. Yanhee lists Thai and English for him and gives overseas patients an interpreter free of charge. If another language would suit you better, mention it in your request so the hospital can arrange it.

Questions to put to him, by procedure:

• Eyelids: Is the heaviness in my upper lids due to skin, fat, a low brow or a drooping lid margin? For my double eyelid, would you use an incision or buried stitches, and how durable is a stitched crease? For my lower lids, would you approach them through the skin at the lash line or through the inner lining of the lid?
• Nose augmentation: For my bridge and tip, do you recommend cartilage from my body or an implant, and what makes that the right material for my nose? What is the plan if the implant later has to be removed?
• Breast augmentation: Which brand, shape, surface and volume would you use, through which incision and in which pocket? Would I benefit from a lift? What checks and imaging should I have once I am home?
• Facelift and neck lift: Which technique fits my face and neck, and why? Will I stay overnight, and for how many nights? On which days are the stitches removed, and when may I board a plane?
• Tummy tuck and liposuction: Would a mini tummy tuck be enough for me, or do I need the full operation with muscle repair? What is the safe upper limit of fat removal for me in a single operation? What do you advise against blood clots on a long flight?
• Revision: Which parts of the earlier result could you improve, which could you not, and how much time should pass before you operate again?

Questions for any operation. Which anaesthetic is planned, and who administers it? Which follow-up visits are needed before you clear me to fly? What exactly does the quote cover? Yanhee states that, for most cosmetic operations, its package prices generally take in the operating theatre, the surgeon's fee, medicines, nursing care, meals and the room; ask for an itemised quote, and for what a revision would cost if one became necessary. How does aftercare work once I am home? Yanhee describes email follow-up, in which you send photos and the doctor checks your progress.

Several operations on one trip. Because Dr. Somboon's list covers the face, the breasts and the abdomen, patients sometimes ask to combine procedures. In general, combining them lengthens the anaesthetic, the hospital stay and the recovery, and after body contouring it raises the risk of blood clots; let him decide what is safe for you once he has examined you.

Surgery with Dr. Somboon means an admission to Yanhee, since we found no other hospital or clinic where he currently works. Everything listed here is taken from Yanhee's own published material.

Where it is. In Bang Phlat district (spelled 'Bangplad' on Yanhee's English pages), and the full postal address reads 454 Charansanitwong Road, Soi 90, Bang-O, Bangkok 10700.

The hospital. By its own description, Yanhee is a private hospital with 400 beds. Its history begins with an outpatient clinic, the Yanhee Polyclinic, which its founders opened in 1984. For accreditation, the body to check is Joint Commission International (JCI): Yanhee is listed as accredited in JCI's online directory (Hospital Program), while a copy of the certificate posted by Yanhee states an effective period of 13 March 2026 through 12 March 2029. Thailand's Hospital Accreditation (HA) database shows no current HA cycle for Yanhee; the most recent cycle it lists ended in January 2019.

Arriving and registering. Overseas patients check in at an International Counter (on the first floor), where Yanhee pairs each of them with an interpreter who helps with registration and goes along from department to department. English-speaking coordinators are stationed around the hospital, and interpreting costs nothing extra.

Getting around and staying nearby. For a fee, Yanhee can organise transfers covering the airport run and trips between your hotel and the hospital. It also works with partner hotels that give special rates when you book through one of its packages.

While you are admitted. Every day, the international liaison team visits inpatients on the wards. If treatment means an admitted patient has to stay on longer than planned, the hospital helps with a visa extension.

Payment. Yanhee takes debit cards, credit cards, bank transfers and cash in the major currencies.

Going home. When you are discharged, the paperwork includes a certificate confirming you are fit to fly, a general medical certificate and a written summary of your treatment. Once you are back home, aftercare continues by email, and you send photo updates that the doctor reviews.

Planning your time in Bangkok. The stays below are the usual figures in our procedure guides for the operations documented for Dr. Somboon. They are general guidance, not his instructions; the date you fly home is Dr. Somboon's call after he has checked you.

• Upper or lower eyelid surgery and double eyelid surgery: commonly 5–7 days.
• Nose augmentation: commonly 7–10 days, which allows for splint removal and a follow-up check.
• Breast augmentation: about 7–10 days.
• Facelift or neck lift: commonly 10–14 days.
• Liposuction: about 7–10 days; allow extra time if several areas are treated or it is combined with another operation.
• Tummy tuck: about 12–14 days, more when other procedures are added.

Choose a flexible return ticket, because healing differs from one person to the next. After abdominal contouring or liposuction, ask about compression stockings and other clot prevention for the flight, and line up help with luggage after breast or abdominal surgery.

To open a request for Dr. Somboon, tell us the operation or concern, the travel window you have in mind, and your preferred consultation format. Hold the medical file below until his team at Yanhee asks for it; gathering it early simply avoids a delay later. Medical details and photos should reach us through the booking form or WhatsApp, never by other channels.

Useful for every operation on his list:

• Your age, height and current weight, and any recent change in weight.
• Long-term conditions, for example diabetes, high blood pressure, or a tendency to bleed or to form clots.
• A full list of your medicines and supplements, flagging any that can increase bleeding: aspirin, ibuprofen, anticoagulants and some herbal remedies. Do not stop any of them without a doctor's advice.
• Allergies, earlier operations and any problems you have had with anaesthesia.
• Smoking or other nicotine use; surgeons generally ask you to stop well before and after an operation.

Eyelids: vision problems, dry or sore eyes, glaucoma or thyroid eye disease; previous eyelid surgery or injections near the eyes; and, if requested, bright, even photos of your eyes from the front, open and closed, with no make-up.

Nose augmentation: photos from the front, both sides and underneath, taken in soft daylight; any previous nose operations, filler or injuries; and any trouble breathing through the nose or nasal allergy.

Breast augmentation: the size and shape you have in mind; past pregnancies and whether you intend to breastfeed; details of any earlier breast surgery, with your implant card (it records the brand, type, size and lot number) if you still have it; recent breast scan or mammogram reports; and front and side photos if the team asks.

Facelift and neck lift: relaxed-face photos taken straight on and from the left and right; any previous facial surgery, thread lifts or fillers; and whether you smoke, since smoking slows skin healing.

Tummy tuck and liposuction: how your weight has changed over time; past pregnancies and any plans for more; earlier abdominal operations such as caesarean sections; the areas you would like treated; any past blood clot; and front, side and back photos if requested.

Revision of earlier surgery: the hospital or clinic and the date of the first operation, the operation notes or discharge summary, the implant card or details of the material used, and any photos from before that first operation.

Travel: when you plan to arrive and leave, and whether a companion is coming, so that Yanhee can arrange an interpreter and transfers.
