Dr. Teerapat Jaiprasat

Dr. Teerapat Jaiprasat (นพ. ธีรภัทร์ ใจประสาท in Thai) is a plastic surgeon who practises at Praram 9 Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. On the hospital's English profile page, his specialty reads plastic surgery and the subspecialty label reads Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery; the page files him under the skin and plastic surgery centre.

Praram 9 is on Bang Kapi in Huai Khwang, Bangkok, and its address is given on our hospital page. The doctor directory groups dermatologists and plastic surgeons under a single Skin and Plastic Surgery heading, and the centre itself is on the ninth floor of Building B. Dr. Teerapat appears there alongside colleagues in the same specialty.

The profile we worked from is short. It documents his specialty, his two main qualifications and the centre where he works. It does not list operations, special interests, society memberships or spoken languages, so this page does not claim any. Wherever a detail a patient would want is not public, we say so instead of guessing.

If you are comparing surgeons in Bangkok and Dr. Teerapat Jaiprasat is one of them, our patient team handles consultation requests. We ask what you hope to change and pass your request on; the appointment is confirmed by the team, not instantly online. How we gather and check provider information is explained on our research methodology page.

The hospital page gives two stages of education, both completed in Thailand.

• Doctor of Medicine, Mahidol University, 2006. This is his medical degree.
• Plastic surgery residency, Phramongkutklao College of Medicine, 2014. The profile records the qualification simply as plastic surgery. It does not describe the content or length of the programme, and we have not added detail the source does not give.

That is the full documented training. The profile mentions no fellowship, no overseas placement and no named certifying board, and we have not been able to confirm any elsewhere. 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.

Patients can raise all of this at a consultation. In general, it is reasonable to ask a surgeon which body certified their specialist training, how recently they have carried out the particular operation you are considering, and whether they can show results from patients who have agreed to share them. We cannot answer those questions on his behalf.

If you want to check credentials independently before you travel, the Medical Council of Thailand maintains a register of licensed doctors, and Thailand's plastic surgery society publishes information about its members. Neither could be queried when we prepared this page, so treat both as places for you or your coordinator to look, not as confirmations we are making.

One role is documented: Dr. Teerapat is listed as a doctor at the hospital's Skin and Plastic Surgery Center (in Thai, ศูนย์ผิวหนังและศัลยกรรมตกแต่ง). We hold no verified information on earlier posts, academic appointments, other hospitals or private clinics, and we do not list any.

The centre describes its own services as dermatology and cosmetic laser treatments, including several laser and energy-based devices, botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid filler injections, peels, cryotherapy and phototherapy. It publishes opening hours of 08.00 to 20.00 Monday to Saturday and 08.00 to 16.00 on Sunday. These are the centre's services and hours, not a list of what Dr. Teerapat personally performs; the hospital's page for him does not break services down by doctor.

Surgery is usually scheduled differently from outpatient visits, so an individual surgeon's consultation times can be narrower than the centre's opening hours. The patient team can check availability when you request a consultation.

Dr. Teerapat's profile gives a specialty (plastic surgery, with plastic and reconstructive surgery as the subspecialty) but no list of operations. A specialty alone does not tell us which procedures a surgeon offers, so we have deliberately not linked him to any procedure page on this site.

What the documented facts do support is a general description. Plastic and reconstructive surgery as a field covers appearance-focused (cosmetic) operations as well as repair of tissue after injury, illness or earlier surgery. Whether a given surgeon concentrates on the face, breast, body or reconstruction differs from person to person, and the hospital page does not say where his emphasis lies.

When you already have a specific operation in mind, put its name in your enquiry. Our team can then ask Praram 9 whether Dr. Teerapat performs it before you commit to travel or a deposit. You can read what each operation involves in our procedure guides and, for gender-affirming care, on the gender-affirming surgery pages, but a guide page is not evidence that this surgeon offers the operation.

The centre where he works also offers non-surgical treatments such as laser sessions and injectables. In general, these are quite different from an operation: they are usually done as outpatient visits, they can need repeating, and suitability depends on skin type, medical history and goals, which only an in-person assessment can establish. We do not know which of these, if any, Dr. Teerapat provides.

With no operations listed on his profile, your first appointment carries extra weight: it is where you confirm what he does and whether it matches what you want. Patients commonly find it helpful to arrive with a short list of questions.

• Does he perform this operation regularly? Name the operation you are planning and ask how often he does it, in his own words.
• What will the surgery and anaesthesia involve? Ask which part of the hospital the operation would take place in, and which anaesthetic is proposed and by whom.
• What are the realistic outcomes and the risks for me? In general, risks depend on your health, your anatomy and the operation, and a surgeon should explain them in terms of your own situation instead of reading out a brochure list.
• What happens if something needs correcting? Ask how revisions or complications are handled, and whether any charge applies.
• What is the recovery plan? Ask how many days to keep free in Bangkok before flying home, when stitches are reviewed, and whom to contact once you are back.

Tell the surgeon about your medical history, regular medication, previous surgery, smoking and any allergies. If you have had cosmetic procedures before, bring any paperwork from them. Whether an operation suits you can only be judged face to face, and you should leave the room free to decline.

Praram 9 Hospital publishes information for international patients on its own website, and the points below come from it.

• Interpreters. According to the hospital, interpreters accompany foreign patients from the first enquiry until after they return home, available daily from early morning until late afternoon (7.00am to 5.00pm). Its coordination page lists English, Mandarin, Burmese, Khmer, Japanese and Arabic.
• Phone numbers. Separate international telephone numbers are listed on the hospital's Contact Us page, organised by nationality, with one for expatriates.
• Getting there. Free transport is advertised: a van picks up at Phetchaburi MRT station (exit 1), and a separate shuttle bus runs from the Makkasan Airport Rail Link stop.

These are hospital-wide services. Which languages Dr. Teerapat himself speaks is not stated on his profile, so please do not assume he consults in your language; ask your patient coordinator to confirm whether an interpreter will attend your appointment. For background on the city, see our Bangkok guide.

The research behind this page found no verified bed count, accreditation status or similar facility statistics for Praram 9, so we state none. For any operation, overseas patients are generally advised to allow time in the city afterwards for follow-up checks instead of flying straight home; ask your surgeon for a recommendation specific to your procedure, because we do not set one here.

A clear first message saves time and lets the hospital advise you properly. When you submit your request, consider including:

• Your goal, described simply. Describe the area and what bothers you. If you know the operation's name, include it.
• Recent photographs. Clear, well-lit photos on a plain background, taken from the angles relevant to the area (front and side for the face; front, side and back for the body). Please do not retouch or filter them.
• Reference images. One or two pictures of an appearance you like can help the conversation, understood as examples of a direction rather than a promised result.
• Medical history. Existing conditions, regular medication, allergies, previous operations and any reactions to anaesthesia, plus smoking status.
• Earlier cosmetic treatments. Implants, fillers, thread lifts or previous surgery, with dates and any documents you were given.
• Practical details. Your country, your planned travel window, and whether you will need an interpreter.

Our team uses your information to prepare the request for the hospital. The surgeon may ask for more at the consultation, and may advise that a different treatment, or no surgery at all, suits you better.
