Dr. Tawisak Labchitkuson

Dr. Tawisak Labchitkuson (Thai: นพ. ทวีศักดิ์ ลาภจิตรกุศล) is a male surgeon practising in Bangkok. He is listed under the specialty of plastic and reconstructive surgery. His name appears on the official doctor pages of four hospitals: Phyathai 2, Praram 9, WIH International and Bangpakok 9 International.

Each hospital files him under a different department, and those department names are the most specific public description of his focus:

• At Phyathai 2: plastic and reconstructive surgeon within the Beauty Center.
• At Praram 9: a doctor in the Skin and Plastic Surgery Center.
• At WIH: listed under Cosmetic & Transgender Surgery.
• At Bangpakok 9: the Plastic Surgery Center. Its listed areas of expertise for him are aesthetic surgery, cosmetic surgery, general plastic surgery, plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery, and facial deformities appear among the conditions named.

This page gathers those four separate profiles into one place. It was compiled from the hospitals' own pages and last checked on 2 October 2026. Our research approach is explained on the provider research methodology page. Where a fact is not public, we say that instead of guessing.

One limit matters for anyone planning surgery. None of the four profiles itemises the operations he performs, so this page does not link him to named procedures such as rhinoplasty or breast augmentation. Which operations he would recommend or carry out for you is settled in a consultation, and our team can forward the question to the hospital. To start, request a consultation with Dr. Tawisak and describe what you have in mind.

In brief: his medical degree is from Chulalongkorn University (1992), the WIH profile gives his languages as English and Thai, and the hospital pages cite two Thai Board qualifications, one in general surgery and one in plastic surgery.

The qualifications below are those the hospital profiles state. The profiles do not agree on every title or year, so each date is reported as its own source gives it and we have not merged them.

Medical degree. His 1992 M.D. was earned at Chulalongkorn University, in its Faculty of Medicine, according to the Phyathai 2 profile.

Board qualifications. The hospital pages describe these:

• The Phyathai 2 page records a 1998 diploma, from the Thai Board, covering plastic and reconstructive surgery and tied to Chulalongkorn University.
• WIH cites two diplomas, a Thai Board one in surgery (1998) and another in plastic surgery (2000).
• The Thai-language page at Praram 9 names a surgery qualification and a plastic or facial surgery qualification, with years written in the Buddhist Era (2541 and 2543, equal to 1998 and 2000 in the Gregorian calendar).

The titles and years differ slightly between hospitals. We do not know the reason, and we have not tried to settle the difference ourselves. Should you need the precise wording of a certificate, request the document from the hospital.

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. Looking him up on the Council's register is a check you can make independently before travelling, and our team can also ask the hospital for his licence details.

Memberships. The Bangpakok 9 profile carries a list headed Medical Works & Rewards that names three organisations: ThPRS, the plastic and reconstructive society; ThSAPS, the aesthetic plastic society; and RCST, the surgeons' royal college. Because this comes from a single hospital page and no society roll was available to check against, we present it as a statement by the hospital, not as confirmed membership.

The most complete career outline is on the Phyathai 2 profile. It lists three earlier posts: medical director at Chat Trakan Hospital (from 1992), plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Hospital (from 2000), and plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Bangpakok 9 Hospital (from 2005). Phyathai presents the Bangpakok 9 post as a former one, but Bangpakok 9 International Hospital still lists him on its own site, so we show him as currently listed there and flag the mismatch.

The hospital profiles carry no dates. "Currently listed" therefore means that each hospital's official page shows him today. It tells you nothing about his clinic days. The four listings are:

1. Phyathai 2: the Beauty Center, under plastic and reconstructive surgery.
2. Praram 9: the Skin and Plastic Surgery Center.
3. WIH: the Cosmetic & Transgender Surgery department.
4. Bangpakok 9: the Plastic Surgery Center.

Bangkok surgeons often see patients at more than one hospital. For you this means he will probably not be at one site every day. Three things need to be pinned down before you book flights: where the first consultation takes place, which hospital would host the operation, and which days he operates there. Establishing these is a large share of the work our patient team does once a request arrives.

None of the hospital pages gives a figure for his years in practice or his case volume, so this page offers neither. The dated roles above are the only career data with a public source.

What is documented comes from department names and from a single expertise list. There is no procedure menu attached to his name.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery. This is his published primary specialty. Reconstructive work, speaking generally, is about repairing function and shape lost to trauma or disease, or altered by a condition present from birth. Bangpakok 9 names facial deformities among his listed conditions. If you are considering a reconstructive operation, bring earlier operative reports and ask how the plan covers function as well as appearance.

Aesthetic and cosmetic surgery. Bangpakok 9 lists aesthetic and cosmetic surgery within his expertise, and two of his listed departments, the Phyathai 2 Beauty Center and the Bangpakok 9 Plastic Surgery Center, deal with cosmetic work. Neither page says which cosmetic operations he performs. Our guides to commonly requested operations, such as rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty and breast augmentation, explain those procedures in general terms. They do not mean he performs each one.

What the hospitals themselves list. Hospital-level information can help you frame questions, but it is not a statement about him personally:

• The Bangpakok 9 Plastic Surgery Center describes services across facial, breast and body contouring surgery, hair transplantation, and male-to-female surgery, which the hospital words as gender reassignment.
• In the skin and plastic department at Praram 9, the published services are mostly dermatology, laser and injectable treatments, and the doctor directory there mixes dermatologists with plastic surgeons. A listing there does not by itself indicate a surgical practice.
• The Phyathai 2 Beauty Center has two parts, cosmetic laser and plastic surgery, and publishes no list of operations.

Gender-affirming surgery. WIH lists him under Cosmetic & Transgender Surgery. That is a hospital department label and not a list of operations. WIH describes itself as a specialised surgical hospital offering gender-affirming, cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Our gender-affirming surgery guide gives background, with pages on facial feminization, top surgery and vaginoplasty. Whether he performs any of these is not documented, so ask directly and do not assume.

A practical approach. Treat the consultation as the place where scope is established. Name the operation you are interested in, then ask whether he performs it regularly, at which hospital it would be done, and whether he can show anonymised results from his own patients, with their consent. A surgeon who offers an operation should be able to answer all three plainly.

Since no procedure list is published, a first meeting with him is partly about judging how well he suits your goal. In general, patients get more from a consultation when they arrive with a clear purpose and a short list of questions.

Questions about scope and experience

• Which operations does he perform on a regular basis, and which hospital would host mine?
• Has he treated people whose starting anatomy resembles mine for this same operation?
• What would he regard as outside his scope and refer to someone else?

Questions about the plan

• What outcome is realistic for me, and what could restrict it?
• Are there less invasive options, or is waiting a sensible choice?
• What does recovery involve, and what is the earliest I could fly home, given my operation?
• Given my own health, which risks matter most for this operation?

Questions about aftercare

• Once I am home abroad, who monitors my recovery and how do I contact them?
• If a problem or a revision arises once I am back home, what is the process and who pays?
• Which costs does a quote include, and which does the hospital bill separately?

If your interest is gender-affirming care, add questions about the order of surgical stages he advises, the paperwork the hospital asks for, and how follow-up works for your specific operation. Hospitals in Thailand differ in the letters or assessments they require, so confirm this before you book travel.

If your interest is reconstructive, bring scans, operative notes and photographs, and ask how the work would be staged.

We cannot give medical advice. Only the surgeon, examining you in person, can say whether an operation suits you; this page is no substitute for that judgement. Any surgery brings risks, for example bleeding, infection, visible scars or a result below your expectations, and which of them apply to you is for his assessment to say.

All four hospitals are in Bangkok, so you can stay in the same city whichever one is chosen. Our Bangkok city guide gives general travel context. The facility details below come from the hospitals' own pages and from our hospital records.

Phyathai 2 Hospital has its address at 943 Phaholyothin Road, Phayathai District. On level 14 of Building B, the Beauty Center receives patients every day between 9:00 and 20:00. For contact, the centre publishes LINE Official @pt2_inter and WeChat ID PT2Chinese.

Praram 9 Hospital is at 99 Bang Kapi, Huai Khwang. It states that interpreters assist international patients throughout their journey, from before arrival until after they leave, daily from 7:00 to 17:00. The languages named are English, Mandarin, Burmese, Khmer, Japanese and Arabic. Complimentary transport is listed too: a van running from Phetchaburi MRT station, plus a bus from the Makkasan stop on the Airport Rail Link. Its Skin and Plastic Surgery Center is on the 9th floor of Building B.

WIH International Hospital is at 1798 Debaratna Road in Bang Na and has an international patient desk. Its listed languages are English and Thai.

Bangpakok 9 International Hospital is at 362 Rama 2 Road, in the Jomthong area, and has an International Customer Service team. The languages it lists are Arabic, Bengali, Burmese, Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, English and Thai.

Language at his own appointments. The WIH profile lists English and Thai for Dr. Tawisak. If you need a different language, ask whether an interpreter will join your appointment.

Planning time in Bangkok. In general, allow some slack in your schedule. You will usually be seen again for a wound or dressing check after surgery before travelling, and the right length of stay differs by operation, so take your surgeon's guidance on it. Ask him for your own timetable and do not rely on a general estimate.

Accreditation. Our hospital pages show what we have been able to document for each site. We make no accreditation claim on his behalf, and none of the hospital profiles states one for his work.

A short, well-organised file speeds up the hospital's reply and makes the first conversation more productive. In general, include the following with your request.

For any procedure

• What you want changed, in plain words, and which feature bothers you most.
• Your age, height and weight, and whether either has shifted recently.
• Your health background: ongoing conditions, past operations, allergies, regular medicines and supplements, and any smoking or vaping.
• Any trouble you have had with anaesthesia or surgery before.
• Your possible travel window and the time you can spend in Bangkok.

Photographs

• Sharp, evenly lit images with no filters, taken against a plain wall.
• Several angles. For the face, a front view, both profiles and a three-quarter turn; for the body, front, side and back.
• A few pictures of results you admire, as a reference for discussion and not as a promise of what you will get.

For reconstructive concerns

• Earlier operative reports, discharge summaries and imaging reports, translated into English where you can.
• A brief history of the injury, condition or earlier treatment.

For gender-affirming surgery

• A summary of your care so far, including hormone therapy if you take it, and any letters or assessments you already hold.
• Any previous operations in this field and the surgeons who performed them.
• Your questions on staging and on how the hospital handles documentation. Requirements vary, so ask before you travel.

Provide only the details you are happy to give, and route them through our patient team and not through public channels. Your information goes only to the hospital and surgeon involved in your request.
