Dr. Sucheera Sarunket

Dr. Sucheera Sarunket (Thai: สุชีรา ศรัณย์เกตุ) is a woman doctor whose listed specialty is oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery within ophthalmology. In plain terms, she is an eye physician who then trained to operate on the lids, the soft tissue nearby and the eye socket, the bony hollow that holds the eyeball. That work spans repair after injury or disease as well as cosmetic eyelid concerns. Her clinic profile does not present her as a general plastic surgeon, and the difference is worth keeping in mind when you decide whether her field matches your question.

Everything on this page about her comes from the official Meko Clinic doctor profile. It records two board qualifications: Thai Board of Ophthalmology (since 2017) and a board in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery (since 2019). The same profile lists her as a current oculoplastic and reconstructive ophthalmologist at Meko Clinic, a plastic surgery clinic whose main site is in Bangkok's Chatuchak district, and at Cholprathan Hospital (โรงพยาบาลชลประทาน), where the start year given is 2021. A previous post at Burapha University Hospital, 2019 to 2021, is also recorded.

Gaps in the published record. The profile does not name the operations she performs, and it does not mention languages, professional society memberships, publications or case volumes. Because we only state what an official page supports, none of those appear here for her. If a specific eyelid or periocular operation matters to you, our patient team can put that exact question to the clinic before you spend anything on travel. Our provider research methodology describes how pages of this kind are built and checked.

ThaiCosmeticSurgery.com wrote this summary independently. Dr. Sucheera did not write or approve it, and nothing here is medical advice. If you want to enquire about being seen, this request form is addressed to her. A member of our team handles each request, and an appointment only exists once a person has confirmed it.

The Meko Clinic profile lays out an orderly sequence of training. It gives the dates in the Buddhist Era, and we have converted them to Gregorian years.

• Medical degree: Doctor of Medicine with second-class honours, the Siriraj medical school at Mahidol University. Study ran 2005 to 2011.
• Ophthalmology residency: Siriraj, 2014 to 2017.
• Ophthalmology board: Diplomate of the Thai Board of Ophthalmology, since 2017.
• Subspecialty training: oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery, again at Siriraj, 2018 to 2019.
• Oculoplastic board: Diplomate in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery (Thai board), since 2019.
• Visits abroad: the profile says she was a visiting doctor, for surgical and clinical observation, at Kim's Eye Hospital in Seoul in October 2023 and at the Alkek Eye Center of Baylor College of Medicine in the United States in December 2023.

Reading the record. Medicine, then a full ophthalmology residency, then a one-to-two-year oculoplastic fellowship is the usual route for a specialist who operates around the eye. Her formal preparation is therefore in how the eye and its surroundings work and heal. It is not a general course in cosmetic surgery of the face or body. The 2023 trips are described as observation, so we present them as observation and not as fellowships or posts.

Her licence. The profile prints a Thai medical licence number, and we could not confirm it. 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. Before any operation, ask the clinic to show you her licence and run the search yourself; our team can walk you through it. More on our approach is in how we research provider claims.

The career history on the Meko Clinic profile is brief, and each entry is a role as an oculoplastic and reconstructive ophthalmologist.

• Burapha University Hospital (โรงพยาบาลมหาวิทยาลัยบูรพา): 2019 to 2021, listed as a past post.
• Cholprathan Hospital (โรงพยาบาลชลประทาน): from 2021, listed as current.
• Meko Clinic: listed as current. No start year is given.

The sequence shows a move from fellowship directly into a university hospital, then to Cholprathan Hospital, with Meko Clinic added alongside. For a patient, holding hospital and clinic roles at once can have a practical angle: if a problem such as an irritated eye surface appeared after surgery, you would want to know which site would examine you and how quickly you could reach them. That is a question for the consultation, not something we can answer from published material.

What the record does not say matters just as much. We have no figures for how many operations she has performed, how long she has worked on any particular type of case, or what share of her work is reconstructive rather than cosmetic. The clinic does not publish such numbers, so we do not offer any. If another website quotes figures like these for her, ask where they came from.

We also have no verified facility file for Cholprathan Hospital, including its location, so this page makes no statement about the hospital beyond the fact that her profile lists it.

What is documented for Dr. Sucheera. Her listed field is oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery. The Meko Clinic profile gives no list of operations, so we have not tied her to any specific procedure page. An operation is attached to a surgeon on this site only if an official page names it, and for her none does.

What the clinic itself lists. Meko Clinic's own service pages include eyelid work: double eyelid surgery and ptosis correction. They also list nose surgery, chin augmentation, facial fat transfer, buccal fat removal, breast augmentation, liposuction, labiaplasty and FUE hair transplant. These are services of the clinic as a whole. They do not reveal which doctor carries out which operation. Since her specialty centres on the eyelids and the region around the eye, eyelid questions are the natural ones to raise with her, but whether she performs a given operation, and whether it would be at Meko Clinic or Cholprathan Hospital, should be confirmed in writing.

General background on eyelid operations. What follows is general information, taken from our own procedure guides. It describes the operations, not her personal practice.

### Upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) In broad terms, blepharoplasty takes away or moves surplus skin, muscle and fat from above the eye, below it, or both. On the upper lid it targets hooding, and in some people heavy lids that cut into the upper field of vision. On the lower lid it targets bags beneath the eye and slack skin. For the lower lid, surgeons may work through an incision under the lash line, or through the conjunctiva on the lid's inner face, which leaves nothing visible on the skin. Our guides cover blepharoplasty, upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery.

### Double eyelid surgery This forms or adjusts the fold of the upper lid, using a full incision or, for suitable lids, by stitches without an incision. People often ask how high the fold will sit and how it will look after swelling subsides. Generally a new crease can appear high early on and soften across the following months, and the stitch method may not last as long as the incision method. See double eyelid surgery.

### Ptosis correction Ptosis means the edge of the upper lid sits low, which is not the same as having excess skin. Repair usually involves the muscle that lifts the lid. Telling true ptosis apart from skin hooding is a core part of an oculoplastic assessment, and the answer can change which operation is appropriate. Our ptosis correction page gives the general picture.

### Brow position Occasionally the underlying issue is a brow that has sunk, not the lid itself. An oculoplastic assessment will normally look at the brow together with the lids. Our page on brow lift describes that alternative.

If your concern is not around the eyes at all, such as the nose, breasts or body, this profile is unlikely to be the right fit. Our Bangkok city page lists other surgeons by specialty.

A consultation about the eyelids is usually as much about function as about appearance. The points below are things patients commonly raise with an oculoplastic specialist, and they apply whether you see Dr. Sucheera or someone else. They are general prompts, not a description of how she runs her appointments.

Your eyes and your history - Mention glaucoma, thyroid eye disease, dry eye or contact lens wear, any past operations on the eye or lids, and problems with sight. Our blepharoplasty guide notes that such conditions bear on safety, which is why they are asked about. - Ask what is driving your concern: loose skin, a lowered brow, fat pads or true ptosis. The cause decides the operation. - Mention whether the lids ever obstruct your vision. A functional element can change how an operation is planned.

The plan - Which technique is proposed and why. For a lid crease that might mean incision against stitches, and for a lower lid it might mean skin-side against inner-lid access. - What outcome is realistic for your anatomy, ideally judged against your own photographs. - Which anaesthesia is planned. As general guidance, eyelid operations are commonly done with local anaesthetic plus sedation, or under general anaesthesia, usually as a day case.

Risks and aftercare - Our guide lists these possible complications of eyelid surgery in general: dryness or irritation of the eyes, passing blurred vision, trouble shutting the eyes completely, lid asymmetry, scarring that shows, lower lid malposition, infection and, uncommonly, bleeding behind the eye that endangers sight. Ask how each would be handled and how fast you could be seen. - Ask which symptoms, such as severe pain or any loss of vision, mean you should call urgently, and who you would call from home. - Ask about eye drops and lubrication for the journey, and when flying is reasonable. - Whether an operation suits you at all needs an assessment of your own eyes. A general guide cannot settle that.

Questions specific to this surgeon - Would the procedure take place at Meko Clinic or at Cholprathan Hospital, and who would give the anaesthetic and manage aftercare? - Is the operation you are asking about part of her routine work? Her profile does not list procedures, so put the question directly. - Would she operate personally and attend your follow-up visits? - Can you see her licence number and training details? Asking is a normal part of preparing.

Where she practises. Meko Clinic's contact page gives two addresses. The flagship is on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road (number 41) in Chom Phon, Chatuchak, postcode 10900, with doors open every day 09:00 to 20:00. The Rama 2 branch stands at number 500 on Rama 2 Road in Bang Mot, Chom Thong, postcode 10150, and keeps hours of 10:00 to 20:00 daily. The profile for Dr. Sucheera does not state which branch she sees patients at, so the location is something our team should confirm before you commit. Our Meko Clinic facility profile has the wider picture of the clinic. The clinic says it was founded in 1982.

What the clinic publishes for overseas visitors. We found nothing documenting a dedicated international desk, interpreters, airport transfers or hotel arrangements at Meko Clinic, and her own languages are not given. We therefore claim none of these. If you need English, Chinese or another language, note it on your request, and we will ask the clinic ahead of time what is available and whether an interpreter can attend.

Time to allow for eyelid surgery. Our blepharoplasty guide offers a general planning figure of 5 to 7 days in Thailand for eyelid work, tied to the usual timing of suture removal; many travellers head home about then. It also notes that most bruising fades over 1 to 2 weeks. The schedule your surgeon sets is the one that counts, and a ptosis repair or a combined operation could lengthen it.

Travel habits worth planning. Pack sunglasses. Hold off on swimming and eye make-up until your surgeon clears you, and follow whatever advice you are given on eye drops for the flight.

Cholprathan Hospital. Her profile also lists Cholprathan Hospital as a current workplace. We have not researched that hospital, so we cannot describe its facilities, address or international services. If your operation would be there, our team will confirm those details with you directly.

For the wider context of staying in the city, see our Bangkok guide.

A well-prepared remote assessment saves time. In general, an oculoplastic surgeon would like the items below. Send what you can; we will tell you if more is needed.

Photographs - Front-view photos of your face with the eyes open, relaxed and looking ahead, in even daylight and without make-up. - A photo with the eyes closed, plus views looking up and looking down, so the lids can be judged. - Side and three-quarter views. If you want a lid crease, a picture of a crease shape you like may help the conversation, but it is only a guide. - For drooping lids, an older photo or your passport picture can show whether the change is recent.

Medical information - Any eye conditions, including dry eye, glaucoma and thyroid eye disease, and any earlier eye or eyelid surgery or injury. - A recent eye examination report or a letter from your own ophthalmologist, if you have one. This is particularly useful for ptosis or for reconstructive questions. - Your medicines and allergies, any blood-thinning drugs including aspirin and supplements, and whether you smoke. - Whether you wear contact lenses, since that affects early recovery.

Practical details - Your goals in your own words and anything that worries you. - The window of dates you have free for travel, and the number of days available. Our general guide to eyelid surgery points to 5 to 7 days in Thailand. - Whether you hope to combine eyelid surgery with another operation, since that alters the plan.

Once we have your material, the team passes it to the clinic and keeps you updated. Passport scans and card numbers do not belong in the form.
