Dr. Thanaphorn Oonjitti

Dr. Thanaphorn Oonjitti (Thai: พญ. ธนพร อุ่นจิตติ) is a female plastic surgeon who practises on Phuket's main island, in southern Thailand. The doctor directory on the Bangkok Hospital Siriroj website gives her primary specialty as plastic surgery and adds a subspecialty label, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Her listed position is with the Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute (PPSI), an aesthetic and reconstructive unit inside Bangkok Hospital Siriroj in Mueang Phuket.

Summed up: she is a Siriraj-educated plastic surgeon at a Phuket private hospital whose published focus is facial and reconstructive work, and overseas patients can ask our team to pass a consultation request to the hospital through our booking form.

Three limits come first. The hospital page names no individual operations for her, so no operation is credited to her on this profile. It also gives no case numbers, no start year at the hospital and no society memberships, so none appear here. And the only language information we hold is that she is listed as speaking English and Thai. Whenever this page talks about procedures, it is either describing what the hospital's plastic surgery service offers or giving general guidance, and it says which.

For the setting, see our guide to Phuket, the Bangkok Hospital Siriroj page and the Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute page. Our provider research methodology describes how profile facts are gathered and checked.

Her hospital profile lists three education entries, and each one names the Siriraj medical school of Mahidol University, Bangkok, as the institution:

• Doctor of Medicine, 2016.
• Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2019.
• Plastic Surgery, 2024.

The profile does not state what type of programme either plastic-surgery line represents. Neither is labelled residency, fellowship or board examination, and we have not guessed. Taken only as published, the sequence runs from a medical degree to a first plastic-surgery entry and then a second one five years later, all from one institution. If the exact type of qualification matters to you, for instance because you want to know whether she holds a Thai board qualification in plastic surgery, include that question in your enquiry so the team can get a written answer from the hospital.

What we could not establish:

• Licence number. The official online register of doctors rejected the automated lookup we ran on 2 October 2026, so her licence status stays unconfirmed on this page. 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.
• Society memberships. Her profile mentions none, so we state none. We did not find her on a society list that we could read.
• Experience and volume. No years in practice, case counts or outcome figures are published anywhere we looked, and we do not supply any.

Her latest listed entry is recent, and prospective patients sometimes ask what that means for operating experience. The sources are silent on it. If it weighs on your decision, raise it with the hospital and keep the reply on paper. Nothing in this section is a statement about the quality of her results.

Her published role is plastic surgeon, Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute, on the Bangkok Hospital Siriroj site. The profile gives neither a start date nor earlier appointments, so we describe only the present position.

Bangkok Hospital Siriroj has the street address 44 Chalermprakiat Ror 9 Road, Wichit subdistrict, Phuket 83000. According to its story page, the hospital opened in 1982, and it mentions two former names, Phuket International Hospital and later Siriroj International Hospital, and the hospital belongs to the BDMS group. The public directory of Joint Commission International (JCI) lists it as an accredited organisation under the Hospital Program, effective from the end of 2012, with no end date displayed. Accreditation changes over time, so confirm the current position with the hospital if it matters to you.

PPSI has its own website and brand but operates under the hospital's administration. The hospital's centre page locates it in Building 5, fourth floor, and lists opening times of 08.00-16.00, seven days. It also reports a patient mix made up mostly of overseas visitors. On its own site, PPSI explains that it was created by combining two earlier aesthetic centres, one at this hospital and one at Bangkok Hospital Phuket.

One detail needs flagging. PPSI's website lists five plastic surgeons in its doctor directory, and Dr. Thanaphorn is not one of the five. The hospital's doctor directory, however, lists her with the plastic surgeons and names PPSI in her role. The sources we read do not explain the difference, so if you particularly want your surgery to take place within the institute, ask the patient team which building and which team would host your visit, and whether she would be involved.

Further context is on the Bangkok Hospital Siriroj profile and the PPSI profile.

The single documented focus is the label Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. It names a region of the body (the face and head), not one operation. In general, the term can take in cosmetic work on the nose, eyelids, brows, cheeks, chin, ears and facial skin, and also reconstructive work after injury or after removal of a lesion. Her profile does not say which of these she does day to day, so we link her to no single procedure.

What the hospital's plastic surgery service offers (facility level, not tied to her by name). The hospital's page on the institute sorts its services under six headings, with the facial heading first. Facial operations linked to the service in our facility research:

• Rhinoplasty
• Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
• Facelift
• Brow lift
• Otoplasty
• Chin augmentation
• Cheek augmentation
• Facial fat grafting

If one of these interests you, the most useful line for your enquiry is a direct question: *Will Dr. Thanaphorn Oonjitti assess and operate on me for this procedure, and if she will not, which surgeon will?* In a multi-surgeon unit, patients may be matched according to each surgeon's interests and diary, and a straight answer beats an assumption.

General guidance on timing for three common facial operations. Our procedure pages give these usual time-in-Thailand figures for overseas patients: 7 to 10 days for rhinoplasty, 5 to 7 days for blepharoplasty and 10 to 14 for a facelift. Treat these as general planning ranges rather than a promise; your surgeon decides how long you should stay based on your operation and how you heal, and whether surgery suits you at all needs an in-person assessment.

General guidance on facial surgery. Specific goals help. Saying that the nasal bridge looks uneven in profile, or that the upper lids feel heavy, gives a surgeon more to work with than a wish to look better. Swelling and bruising are normal in the early days and fade gradually, and in many facial operations, nasal surgery above all, the settled result takes months to appear. Complications can follow any operation: bleeding, infection, visible scarring, asymmetry, an unwelcome result and revision surgery are all possible. Read the matching procedure page before your consultation.

Reconstructive work. Facial reconstruction is usually driven by medical need, for example after an accident or a skin-lesion removal. Her profile adds nothing beyond the subspecialty label. If your question is reconstructive, say so in your enquiry and attach reports; whether it falls within her practice is for the hospital to answer.

What we cannot tell you: how often she performs any operation, which techniques she prefers, or what her results look like. None of that appears in a source we could verify.

With nothing published about her individual operations, your consultation is where that gap gets filled. Everything below is general guidance for a facial-surgery appointment and does not describe how Dr. Thanaphorn runs hers.

1. Establish who and where. Ask who will examine you, who will hold the scalpel, and which building the surgery would happen in. Check that the surgeon you meet is the one who will operate.

2. Ask about experience with your exact operation. A concrete question works better than a broad one: how regularly does she perform it, and what does she think is realistic for your bone structure and skin? Treat any answer as the surgeon's own statement to you, and request it in writing if it will influence your decision.

3. Separate what you want changed from what you want kept. Tell the surgeon which feature bothers you and which features you are happy with. For rhinoplasty that might be the bridge, the tip or the airway; for blepharoplasty, upper lids, lower lids or both; for a facelift or brow lift, the zones where ageing troubles you most. Bring photographs of features you like and be ready to hear which are realistic on your face.

4. Go through the risks. Beyond the risks common to all surgery, each part of the face has its own, so ask which apply to your plan. Our procedure pages list them; a good consultation explains how they apply to you personally.

5. Share your history in full. Mention earlier surgery or injections in the same area, regular medicines (blood thinners especially), smoking or vaping, allergies, bleeding tendencies and long-term illnesses. Surgeons commonly raise smoking because it can interfere with healing.

6. Clarify anaesthesia and the stay. Find out which anaesthetic is normally used for your operation (local with sedation, or general), whether a night in hospital is expected, and who is responsible for you during the first days.

7. Ask about aftercare and revisions. Find out how check-ups are arranged while you are still in Phuket, and what would happen if a concern arose once you were home. The institute's published terms for problems after surgery run for 12 months and send complex cases to an internal review committee; ask what they mean for your own operation. Ask whether those terms apply to your own operation and get them in writing. We summarise the institute's published terms on its facility page, but only the hospital can say what applies to you.

8. Get the plan and quote on paper. It should name the procedure or procedures, the surgeon, the facility, and what the fee does and does not cover. We publish no price for this surgeon because her profile gives none.

Bangkok Hospital Siriroj's own description of the institute says most of the people it treats come from abroad; that is the hospital's own statement. We found no dedicated overseas-patient desk described on the hospital's own pages, so we have not recorded one for the hospital.

PPSI's separate website, however, advertises these arrangements for patients from abroad. They are the institute's claims, passed on as such:

• Transfers from the airport and between hotel and hospital arranged by the institute, free above a stated procedure value. Its FAQ pages give that value inconsistently, so ask for the current rule.
• A coordination team working in English, Chinese and French.
• Remote video appointments with a plastic surgeon, plus a 3D simulation of possible outcomes built from your photographs.
• Planned review contacts through the first year (months 1, 3, 6 and 12), with online help through a coordinator should a complication arise once you are back home.
• Hotel suggestions from staff, with payment in full due before surgery.

Her own page is on the hospital website rather than the institute's, and we cannot tell whether these services cover patients who see her. Put that question in your enquiry.

Language. Her profile lists English and Thai, so discussing your goals in English looks feasible. For the consent conversation, which has legal and medical weight, ask whether an interpreter would help you.

General trip planning. Patients who travel for facial surgery usually plan to remain in Phuket for the early recovery so that the surgeon can inspect healing and take out stitches or dressings. How long depends on the operation; see the ranges on our procedure pages. Whether and when you can fly after surgery is a point for your surgeon, not for a website. Phuket also has a high season when flights and rooms fill up, so book travel only once your surgery date has been confirmed in writing.

A detailed first message lets the hospital answer you specifically instead of generally. In general, for facial surgery, gather the following.

Photographs. Take clear, evenly lit pictures against a plain wall, bare-faced, with hair pinned away from the face. Surgeons usually want a front view and both side profiles; for the nose, add views from below and from above. For eyelids, send one frontal image with the eyes open and gaze level, and a second with the lids lightly closed. For the lower face and neck, add a frontal and two lateral shots, face at rest. Do not filter, edit or crop them.

A short written note. Explain what bothers you, how long it has, and what outcome you hope for. If the area has had surgery or injections before, give the date, the place and what was done.

Medical background. List regular medicines and supplements, allergies, previous operations, any trouble with anaesthetics, bleeding disorders, smoking habits and ongoing illnesses such as diabetes or hypertension. Nasal airway trouble is worth a mention, because it affects planning for nose surgery, and so is any history of eye dryness or eyelid problems if you are asking about the lids.

Reports and imaging. For an injury or reconstruction question, include the reports, scans or operation notes you hold, with names and dates legible.

Logistics. Give your possible travel window, how long you can remain in Phuket, your country of residence, and whether a remote call should come before any visit.

You do not need to send passport copies or payment details with a first enquiry. Send only what is needed; the team will come back to you should the hospital require anything further.
