Dr. Suttisun Jankajorn

Dr. Suttisun Jankajorn (Thai: นพ. สุทธิสัณห์ จันทร์ขจร) is a plastic surgeon in Bangkok whose work is split between the plastic surgery unit of an army hospital and three private hospitals. His specialty label at Bumrungrad International Hospital reads Plastic Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery, and maxillofacial surgery is listed there as a special clinical interest. At Bangkok Hospital Headquarters, his profile title presents him as a reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgeon, filed under the specialties of plastic surgery and surgery.

His current listings cover four Bangkok hospitals:

• [Bumrungrad International Hospital](/hospital/bumrungrad-international-hospital/): the Plastic Surgery Center names him on its own surgeon list, and his outpatient sessions there take place on the 16th floor of Building A.
• [Bangkok Hospital Headquarters](/hospital/bangkok-hospital-headquarters/): his profile places him in the hospital's Plastic Surgery and Reconstruction Center, and the profile data records his work type as part-time.
• [Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital](/hospital/samitivej-sukhumvit-hospital/): he is profiled as a plastic surgeon of the Samitivej Plastic and Esthetic Surgery Institute.
• [Phramongkutklao Hospital](/hospital/phramongkutklao-hospital/): he is on the surgery department's roster as one of the staff surgeons of its Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit, with the army rank of Colonel (พ.อ.).

On the cosmetic side, the operations his Bumrungrad and Bangkok Hospital profiles name are upper and lower eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty including augmentation rhinoplasty, face and neck lifting, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and liposuction. The same profiles list a large reconstructive side as well: wound care and wound coverage, scar revision, surgery for skin tumours and skin cancer, maxillofacial and soft-tissue injuries, cleft lip and cleft palate, burn and burn scar reconstruction, breast reconstruction and facial bone contouring. The five papers PubMed indexes under his name, all with a Phramongkutklao affiliation, deal with eyelid surgery, skin-graft wound care and orbital fracture repair.

According to his Bumrungrad profile, he speaks Thai and English. To contact him, use our patient team: tell us the operation you are interested in and the hospital you would prefer, and we take it up with that hospital. No appointment exists until the hospital itself confirms one.

The facts about Dr. Suttisun on this page come from official hospital pages, his member page with the Thai plastic surgeons' society, an archived society directory and PubMed, all checked on 27 September 2026. Where we explain what an operation involves in general, that comes from our own procedure guides, not from him. Our research methodology page describes the checks behind this profile.

Bumrungrad publishes the fullest list of Dr. Suttisun's education. The Bangkok Hospital and Samitivej profiles repeat parts of it, and Samitivej gives two different dates. In order:

• Medical degree, 1994: M.D., Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University. On the Thai-language Bumrungrad page the degree appears as แพทยศาสตรบัณฑิต, with the Buddhist-era year 2537.
• Thai Board of Surgery diploma, 2001: Bangkok Hospital names Chulalongkorn University as the training university and the Thai Medical Council as the issuing body. Samitivej gives the year as 2000; we show 2001 because Bumrungrad and Bangkok Hospital agree on it.
• Thai Board of Plastic Surgery diploma, 2003: Bangkok Hospital again names Chulalongkorn University as the training university.
• Special clinical training, 2006: plastic and reconstructive surgery, trauma surgery and emergency medicine at the University of Nevada School of Medicine. Samitivej files this entry under 2008.
• Fellowship, 2008: plastic and maxillofacial surgery, listed under the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Sydney.

The order of the entries is informative. His general surgery certification came first, in 2001, and the plastic surgery diploma followed two years later. In general, anyone considering cosmetic surgery is advised to check that the surgeon has completed specialist plastic surgery training, and in his case that diploma is recorded on his Bumrungrad profile and dated in Bangkok Hospital's data. The trauma component of the Nevada training and the maxillofacial focus of the Sydney fellowship line up with the facial-injury, facial-bone and maxillofacial work both private hospitals list for him, and with his 2026 paper on orbital fracture reconstruction.

Some things are not published, and we do not fill them in. None of the profiles gives a separate residency entry, so we do not describe one. The Sydney entry is published as a fellowship in a subject area; the profiles say nothing about Australian specialist registration, so we make no claim about it. If a particular qualification matters to your decision, our team can ask the hospital to confirm it in writing.

Phramongkutklao Hospital. The surgery department's listing for its Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit shows him among the unit's staff surgeons (อาจารย์ประจำหน่วย) as พ.อ.นพ.สุทธิสัณห์ จันทร์ขจร; พ.อ. is the army rank of Colonel. Every paper PubMed indexes under his name, from 2020 to 2026, carries a Phramongkutklao affiliation: the hospital's plastic and reconstructive surgery division within its Department of Surgery, together with Phramongkutklao College of Medicine. As recorded on our facility profile, the unit publishes cosmetic surgery as one of its services alongside a broad reconstructive range: cleft and craniofacial care, facial bone surgery, tumours of the head and neck, reconstruction of the breast, burns, hand surgery and microsurgery. The same staff page lists trainee residents as well as staff surgeons.

Private hospitals. He currently appears as a plastic surgeon at the Bumrungrad Plastic Surgery Center, at the Plastic Surgery and Reconstruction Center of Bangkok Hospital Headquarters (part-time, according to the hospital's own profile data) and at the Samitivej Plastic and Esthetic Surgery Institute. None of these profiles says when he joined, so we give no start year and no count of years in practice.

Earlier listings. His 2019 society member page also named Dermaster Clinic (Ekkamai branch) and The Natural Clinic. We found no current official page from either clinic that names him, so we do not list them as places where he practises now.

Society listings and licence. Since November 2019, the ThPRS plastic and reconstructive surgery society has hosted a member page for Dr. Suttisun on its website. An older trace comes from the aesthetic plastic surgeons' society (ThSAPS), whose former web directory survives in a February 2020 archive; its 'ส' page includes his name. That directory no longer exists online, and no up-to-date public ThSAPS member list turned up in our search, so we cannot say whether he has remained a member since 2020. Licence number 19577 is given both on the ThPRS page and in Bangkok Hospital's profile data. 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. The lookup is public, and anyone can try it.

Research indexed on PubMed. A PubMed author search returns five papers with his name, every one affiliated with Phramongkutklao; the 2020 record spells his first name Suttisan:

• a 2020 anthropometric study of upper eyelids, described in its title as Oriental, which puts forward a new ratio for the eyelid crease (*Aesthetic Plastic Surgery*);
• a 2023 randomised controlled trial with a systematic review comparing Colorado needle electrocautery with a traditional scalpel for the upper blepharoplasty incision (*Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open*);
• a 2024 randomised controlled trial making the same comparison for the lower blepharoplasty incision (same journal);
• a 2026 comparative study from Thailand of 3D preformed titanium mesh in orbital blowout fracture reconstruction (*Archives of Craniofacial Surgery*);
• a 2026 randomised controlled trial comparing superabsorbent and foam dressings at split-thickness skin-graft donor sites (*International Wound Journal*).

We list the papers to show the areas he works in. His place in the author list and his role in each study are not recorded here, and the papers are not a measure of results for his own patients.

The procedures below are the ones named for Dr. Suttisun in Bumrungrad's 'Special Clinical Interests' and Bangkok Hospital's 'Treatments & Services'. Under each heading, the statements about him come from those two lists and from his papers. The description of the operation itself is general, drawn from our procedure guides, and applies to any surgeon. Whether an operation suits you is decided only when he examines you.

Eyelid surgery: upper and lower blepharoplasty. Eyelid surgery appears on both hospital lists, with Bangkok Hospital specifying upper and lower blepharoplasty, and three of his five indexed papers concern the eyelids: an upper-lid crease study and two randomised trials on how the blepharoplasty incision is made. In general terms, our blepharoplasty guide describes an operation that removes or repositions excess skin, muscle and fat, to reduce hooding of the upper lids or bags beneath the eyes in the lower lids. In Thailand it is often performed with local anaesthesia and sedation as a day case, though a general anaesthetic is also used. According to the same guide, stitches typically come out around days 5–7, and visitors from abroad usually budget 5–7 days in Thailand. Your eye health is part of the safety check: the guide says questions will cover your eyesight, any glaucoma or thyroid eye condition, and dryness of the eyes. Ptosis, a low-sitting lid margin that needs muscle repair, is a different problem that blepharoplasty alone does not correct, and he would need to assess you for it. His profiles do not name double eyelid surgery as a separate item; if your goal is to create a crease rather than to remove excess skin, get our team to confirm with the hospital that he offers it before building your plans around him.

Rhinoplasty and augmentation rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is on his Bumrungrad list and augmentation rhinoplasty on his Bangkok Hospital list. In general, augmentation rhinoplasty is for noses whose bridge sits low or whose tip lacks projection; the extra height is built with a graft of the patient's own cartilage or with an implant. The choice of material for your nose, and the plan should an implant later need removing, are worth pinning down with him. Making a nose smaller, for example by taking down a hump or narrowing it, is a different aim that calls for different techniques, so be specific about which you want. Our rhinoplasty guide explains that the operation is usually done under general anaesthesia, that the nose's external splint and any stitches are typically taken out during the day-5-to-day-10 window, and that overseas patients commonly stay 7–10 days. Most visible swelling settles over 2–3 weeks, but the shape of the tip keeps changing subtly for 12 months or longer. Revision rhinoplasty is not named on his profiles, so anyone with previous nose surgery should mention it at the outset.

Face and neck lift. Bumrungrad lists face lifting, and Bangkok Hospital lists 'Face and Neck Lift' as one item. Described in general terms, a facelift resets the deeper support of the jawline and neck and then removes loose skin, to soften jowls and neck laxity, while a neck lift concentrates on loose skin and laxity below the jaw; many patients have the two together. It leaves the forehead, the eyelids and fine surface wrinkling as they were; those need separate treatment. Of the significant complications, our guide identifies haematoma, a pocket of blood beneath the skin that may need draining, as the most frequent, and asks patients to give up smoking and nicotine because they make poor skin healing more likely. The operation is done under general anaesthesia or IV sedation, usually with 1–2 nights in hospital. For overseas patients a stay of 10–14 days in Thailand is common, which leaves time to take stitches out and to check for early complications before you fly. His profiles do not state which facelift technique he uses, whether SMAS, deep plane, a mini facelift or another variant, so ask him directly.

Breast augmentation, breast lift and breast reduction. Bumrungrad lists breast augmentation and 'breast lifting and reduction'. Bangkok Hospital's English list has a single item, 'Breast Reconstruction Augmentation', which the Thai version of the same list spells out as breast augmentation, breast reduction and lifting. Our breast augmentation guide explains that volume usually comes from silicone or saline implants, occasionally from a patient's own fat, and that implants should not be thought of as permanent: many patients eventually return for surgery to swap or remove them. Augmentation by itself does not raise a low-sitting nipple; in that situation a surgeon may propose a lift, either in addition or as the alternative. A breast lift removes excess skin and raises the nipple and breast tissue without adding much volume, and its scars fade over roughly 12–18 months. With a breast reduction, tissue, fat and skin are removed and the breast is lifted in the same operation; people often choose it to ease neck, back and shoulder pain as much as for how the breasts look. As general guidance on time in Thailand, our guides give 7–10 days as common for augmentation and 10–14 days for a lift or a reduction. Breast reconstruction is also on his Bumrungrad list; we do not publish a guide on it, but our team can pass a reconstruction enquiry to him.

Tummy tuck and liposuction. Abdominoplasty and liposuction are on both hospitals' lists, and Bangkok Hospital specifies the chin, arms, abdomen and thighs as liposuction areas. In general terms, a tummy tuck takes away the slack skin and fatty tissue beneath the navel and in most cases also closes a separation of the stomach muscles (diastasis recti), whereas liposuction draws out localised fat that resists diet and exercise, working through small incisions with a thin cannula, with the final contour showing as swelling settles over 3–6 months. Neither operation is a treatment for weight loss, and our guides advise reaching a stable weight first. Compared with most cosmetic operations, abdominoplasty carries a relatively high clot risk; our guide therefore puts weight on measures to prevent clots, walking early and planning carefully around a long flight home. Overseas patients commonly stay 12–14 days after a tummy tuck and 7–10 days after liposuction; combining the two usually means a longer stay.

Reconstructive, skin and maxillofacial surgery. A large share of what his profiles list is reconstructive: wound care and wound coverage, scar revision, surgical treatment of skin tumours and skin cancer, maxillofacial and soft-tissue injuries, cleft lip and cleft palate, and burn and burn scar reconstruction, with maxillofacial surgery and facial bone contouring on the Bumrungrad list. His studies of skin-graft donor-site dressings and orbital fracture repair belong to the same field. We do not publish guides for these operations, and we have not linked 'facial bone contouring' to a jaw or cheek procedure because the profile does not say which operation it means. You can still request a consultation for any of them through our team; the 'What to send' section below lists what helps.

A consultation is where your plan is made. With a surgeon who works at four hospitals, it is worth settling the practical questions as well as the medical ones.

Where and how you will be treated:

• Which hospital will the operation take place at? He works at Bumrungrad, Bangkok Hospital Headquarters, Samitivej Sukhumvit and Phramongkutklao. The hospital sets the price, the room, the anaesthesia team and the services for overseas patients, and in general it is also where your stitches come out and your check-ups happen.
• What accreditation does that hospital hold? For Bumrungrad, our facility research records JCI accreditation and HA Thailand advanced accreditation valid until 22 May 2029; for Bangkok Hospital Headquarters, it records a JCI accreditation listing. Both were checked on 27 September 2026. We have not recorded accreditation for Samitivej Sukhumvit or Phramongkutklao. That does not mean the hospital lacks it, so ask the hospital. Accreditation assesses a hospital's systems, not the result of any individual operation.
• What type of anaesthesia suits the operation, which specialist provides it, and for how many nights will the hospital keep me?
• Who reviews me after surgery? When we checked, his Bumrungrad clinic ran on two weekday late afternoons and a Saturday morning, and his Bangkok Hospital role is part-time. Ask which days he will see you, who covers when he is not in clinic, and how to reach his team after you fly home.
• What exactly is in the written quote? It should itemise the surgeon's fee, anaesthesia, hospital nights, implants, garments and medicines, and state what a revision would cost.

The operation itself:

• Eyelids: Which incision method do you use, and why? His trials compared Colorado needle electrocautery with a scalpel for the eyelid incision, so this is a topic he can explain in detail. How will the crease height be planned for my eyes? Do I also have ptosis or a lowered brow that eyelid surgery alone would not correct?
• Nose: Would you build up my nose with cartilage from my own body or with an implant, and which type? If cartilage, where would it be taken from? What happens if an implant ever has to be removed?
• Face and neck: Which facelift technique would you use for me, and does it include the neck? What is the plan if a haematoma develops after surgery?
• Breasts: Which implant type, surface and size, which incision and which pocket would you recommend? For a lift or reduction, which scar pattern, and could breastfeeding or nipple sensation be affected?
• Body: What is the safe limit on fat removal in a single sitting for me? Should a tummy tuck and liposuction be combined or staged? What clot prevention do you advise for the flight home?
• Scars, skin lesions and old injuries: What can surgery realistically change, and do you need biopsy results, scans or earlier operation notes before you advise me?

Whatever plan comes out of a remote review of your photos is a draft. In general, a surgeon finalises it only after examining you face to face in Bangkok, and the plan can change at that point, so keep some slack in your travel dates.

All four hospitals where Dr. Suttisun works are in Bangkok, yet their published services for overseas patients differ a good deal. Here is what our facility research records for each.

Bumrungrad International Hospital publishes the widest range of these services, from its Wattana campus at 33 Sukhumvit 3, Soi Nana Nua. Patients from abroad can call on a free Medical Coordination Office, found on floor 10 of Building A and staffed by coordinating physicians and nurses. Before the trip they look over records, estimate prices, set up appointments and offer telemedicine. While you are in hospital the office remains a point of contact, and after discharge it handles the paperwork for your flight home, such as the discharge report and fit-to-fly confirmation for the airline, and lines up follow-up. The hospital states that it has over 130 interpreters, and it employs cultural support officers for medical travellers who find English difficult. At Suvarnabhumi Airport it keeps a desk in the arrival area, and it runs complimentary vans from the airport about once an hour, when there are enough passengers, for the hospital itself or for hotels in the neighbourhood. Closer to town, complimentary shuttles run to and from two BTS skytrain stops, Nana and Phrom Phong, and its Business Center arranges visa extensions with the immigration office as well as hotel and flight bookings. Dr. Suttisun's Bumrungrad clinic runs from Counter A, inside the sixteenth-floor Plastic Surgery Center of Building A; the centre books doctor consultations by appointment only and also lists a doctor tele-consultation service.

Bangkok Hospital Headquarters (2 Soi Soonvijai 7, New Petchburi Road, Huaykwang) has an international patient desk; his ThPRS page refers to it as Bangkok Hospital (Soi Soonvijai). The hospital runs an airport services counter at Suvarnabhumi, beside Gate 5 at Exit B of the International Arrival Hall, where first-time visitors can pre-register and have a doctor's appointment arranged, and a complimentary first-come, first-served shuttle van between the airport and the hospital. A fit-to-fly certificate requested before discharge can be printed at that airport counter. Its Plastic Surgery and Reconstruction Center is on the 1st floor of Building D and is listed as open daily from 08:00 to 16:00.

Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital has an international patient desk, and its listed languages are Thai, English, Malay, Arabic, Indonesian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The Samitivej Plastic and Esthetic Surgery Institute, where he is profiled, is on the 6th floor of Building 2.

Phramongkutklao Hospital is on Ratchawithi Road in Ratchathewi district (address on our facility profile: 315 ถนนราชวิถี แขวงทุ่งพญาไท เขตราชเทวี กรุงเทพมหานคร 10400). We have no record of services for international patients there, so if you are considering treatment at Phramongkutklao, have our team establish what support the hospital gives foreign patients before you commit.

Language. Only Thai and English are recorded for Dr. Suttisun, both on his Bumrungrad profile. For a consultation in another language, Bumrungrad's interpreters are the practical option there; at his other hospitals, raise interpreting when the appointment is requested.

How long to stay. Taking the general ranges in our procedure guides and matching them to his listed operations gives roughly: 5–7 days in Thailand for his eyelid work; 7–10 days after a nose, breast augmentation or liposuction operation; 10–14 days after a facelift, neck lift, breast lift or reduction; and 12–14 days after abdominoplasty. If two procedures are done together, expect the stay to stretch, and it is your surgeon who judges, after checking you, when you are fit to fly. Because his four hospitals sit in different parts of the city, book accommodation once the hospital for your surgery is settled.

Sending the right details with your first request lets the hospital and Dr. Suttisun give you a useful reply instead of a list of questions. For any procedure, include:

• how old you are, your height and weight, and any weight you have gained or lost lately;
• health conditions you are treated for, previous operations (above all on the same area) and any problem with an earlier anaesthetic;
• every medicine and supplement you take, particularly aspirin, ibuprofen, blood thinners and herbal products that affect bleeding (do not stop anything without medical advice);
• whether you smoke or use nicotine, and any history of blood clots;
• your travel window and the hospital you prefer.

Photos help most when taken in even, neutral light against a plain background, without make-up or filters. By procedure area:

• Eyelids: close-ups of both eyes looking straight ahead, gently closed and looking up, plus a side view. Note any contact lens use, dry eyes, glaucoma or thyroid eye disease, and attach your latest eye test if you have one.
• Nose: four shots: face-on, left side, right side, plus an upward shot of the nostrils taken from beneath the chin. Describe any injury, breathing problem or allergy, and send operation notes from any earlier nose surgery, especially if an implant was used.
• Face and neck: five angles (straight on, left and right profiles, left and right three-quarter), with your head level and the whole neck in frame.
• Breasts: front and both side views from the neck to the waist, arms by your sides. Add your current bra size and your goal, any implant card from earlier surgery (brand, size and type), copies of any mammogram or breast ultrasound reports on file, and whether you plan a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Abdomen and liposuction areas: front, side and back views of the areas you want treated, with details of pregnancies, any plans for more children and earlier abdominal surgery.
• Scars, skin lesions, burns and facial injuries: clear close-ups with a ruler for scale, when the problem began and how it has changed, and any biopsy, pathology or scan reports; for an old facial fracture, earlier scans and operation notes.

Send these through our request form or to our patient team directly, and we pass them to the hospital you have chosen.
