Dr. Theerasak Tempaiboolkul

Dr. Theerasak Tempaiboolkul (นพ.ธีรศักดิ์ เต็มไพบูลย์กุล) is a surgeon presented on the official site of Masterpiece Hospital, which operates in Bangkok's Dusit area as a hospital for cosmetic surgery. Both language versions of that page file him in the Rhinoplasty Department, known in Thai as แผนกศัลยกรรมจมูก, and rhinoplasty is the only procedure area attached to his name there.

Patients often assume that anyone listed in a nose department trained as a plastic or ENT surgeon, so it is worth being precise about his documented background. The hospital gives his specialty as surgery, with orthopaedics as the recognised area. His board certificate is in orthopaedic surgery, and he has a fellowship in hand surgery and microsurgery. Neither profile mentions plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery or ear, nose and throat (ENT) training. So on this page he is a surgeon with orthopaedic and hand-and-microsurgery training who is listed in a rhinoplasty department; the labels plastic surgeon and ENT surgeon are not applied to him.

This is not a statement that he cannot operate on noses. It is a statement about what the public record shows: nothing we could verify explains how his training connects to nasal surgery, so that is a question for him and for the hospital. The sections below suggest how to raise it.

This page belongs to our independent profile series. Every fact about him comes from the hospital's own pages, which we read on 27 September 2026, and where something is not published we say so. Our provider research methodology page explains the process. If you would like our patient team to approach the hospital on your behalf, request a consultation.

The Masterpiece Hospital profile, in Thai and in English, lists three qualifications for Dr. Theerasak.

• Medical degree: Bachelor of Medicine (แพทยศาสตรบัณฑิต) from Mahidol University. No graduation year is given.
• Board qualification: a Diploma in Orthopaedic Surgery (วุฒิบัตรศัลยศาสตร์ออร์โธปิดิกส์) from Navamindradhiraj University's Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital. The Thai page shows certificate number 41729/2564. The English page prints the same number with the year in another calendar form and attaches a different label to it, so we regard the Thai page as the clearer record. No year of completion is stated.
• Fellowship: a fellowship in hand surgery and microsurgery (อนุสาขาศัลยกรรมทางมือและจุลศัลยศาสตร์), awarded by the same institution.

The hospital also quotes a medical licence number for him. 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. Ahead of any trip, it is sensible to have the hospital state his licence and registered specialty in writing, which our patient team can request.

Several things are simply not on the record: a residency or fellowship in plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery or otolaryngology, any society membership, any training abroad, any publications, and the years in which he trained. We have not filled those gaps with assumptions. A missing line on a profile does not prove the training never happened, but it is not something we can claim for him either.

His single documented role is as a surgeon in the Rhinoplasty Department at Masterpiece Hospital, Bangkok. The profile is silent on his joining date, his earlier workplaces, any university post, his length of practice and his caseload. We estimate none of these, so this page makes no statement about how experienced he is.

For context, the hospital's own about page describes the business as starting in 2013 as a small clinic in Siam Square before relocating to a hospital building on Sukhothai Road. It reports 14 beds and seven operating rooms, four set up for anaesthesia and three without. The services it lists range from nose and eyelid work to facelifts, liposuction, hair transplantation and breast augmentation.

The hospital's team pages show surgeons in more than one department, some of them with an otolaryngology or plastic surgery specialty label. A patient who wants to compare what different surgeons there document about their training can use the hospital page on this site and the other surgeon profiles we publish for it; our patient team can also point you to the relevant ones.

### Rhinoplasty

The one procedure area we can attach to Dr. Theerasak is rhinoplasty. The reason is simple: the hospital lists him as its medical procedures specialist for the Rhinoplasty Department. That entry says nothing about technique (open or closed approach, cartilage grafts, implants), about reduction versus augmentation, or about primary versus revision cases. We have therefore not linked him to revision rhinoplasty, alar base reduction or anything else. Masterpiece Hospital does offer revision nose surgery, but that describes the hospital and not him.

In general terms, rhinoplasty reshapes the bone and cartilage framework of the nose and redrapes the overlying skin. Patients commonly ask for one of two goals: reduction, such as smoothing a hump or narrowing the bridge, or augmentation, for instance raising a flat bridge or bringing the tip further forward. Each uses different techniques and carries different risks. If the septum inside the nose is straightened to help airflow at the same time, the operation is called a septorhinoplasty. Our rhinoplasty guide sets out the techniques, recovery stages and risks in more detail.

Points worth raising when you meet him:

• Which approach and which material he would suggest for your nose, and the reasons, including whether the plan relies on tissue from your own body or on an implant.
• How often he operates on noses like yours, and whether those are first operations or corrections of earlier surgery. We publish no number because none is documented.
• How his orthopaedic and hand-and-microsurgery training relates to nasal work, and what the hospital's arrangements are if a breathing or airway concern comes up. You should leave with an answer you find clear and credible.
• Who else is in the operating team, including the anaesthesia team, and who reviews you after surgery before you fly home.

### Other procedures

We list nothing else for him. If you are weighing up eyelid surgery, a facelift or body contouring, the patient team can tell you which surgeons at the hospital document those areas, so that we do not imply he performs them.

A useful rhinoplasty consultation covers goals, anatomy and trade-offs, not only a price and a date. What follows is general guidance for anyone considering a nose operation in Thailand, linked to the one procedure documented for Dr. Theerasak.

Goals and what is realistic. Describe what bothers you about your nose and what you would like instead. Photos of noses you admire can help, but the surgeon has to explain what your own skin, cartilage and bone allow. Thicker skin generally softens how sharply a tip can be defined and takes longer to settle.

Breathing. A blocked nostril, a deviated septum, an old injury or earlier nose surgery should be mentioned early. Improving airflow and changing the shape can be planned together, but they are separate aims and the plan should address both.

Technique and materials. Ask whether the operation would be open or closed. For any build-up of the bridge or tip, ask which material is planned: tissue from your own body, or a manufactured implant. Our guide points out that implants and rib cartilage each bring compromises, covering infection, natural feel and lasting stability.

Risks. The risk list in our guide runs from bleeding, infection and anaesthetic reactions to lasting swelling, numbness, trouble breathing through the nose, unevenness, visible irregularities and disappointment with the outcome; implants add the possibility of movement or extrusion and removal. A proportion of patients seek a second operation. Find out what the hospital does if a complication appears after you have gone home. Suitability is a judgement the surgeon makes only once he has examined you.

Qualifications. Any surgeon can be asked to describe their training and registration in their own words. For Dr. Theerasak the documented training is orthopaedic surgery plus hand surgery and microsurgery, so asking how it informs his nasal work is entirely reasonable.

Anaesthesia and facility. Rhinoplasty is usually done under general anaesthesia, although some minor tip work can be done with local anaesthetic and sedation. Ask in which theatre the operation happens, which doctor handles the anaesthetic, and what the emergency arrangements are. The hospital's published bed and theatre counts are worth asking about if capacity matters to you.

Timing of any later correction. A revision is normally left for twelve months or more after the first operation, giving swelling time to settle completely. If a first operation is on the table, ask how the hospital approaches the question of corrections and who bears the practical arrangements if one is needed.

Masterpiece Hospital's address, as printed on its contact page, is 99/19 Sukhothai Road in Dusit, Bangkok, postcode 10300. Overseas enquirers are offered a free request form that can lead to an online consultation, chat apps (WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE and Telegram), plus separate numbers for enquirers in Cambodia, Indonesia and China. No international patient desk, airport pickup or accommodation service is mentioned, and we do not assume one exists.

No language ability is published for Dr. Theerasak. If the language of the consultation matters to you, raise it with our patient team before you book: they can ask whether he consults in it, or whether an interpreter would be arranged, and who that person would be.

On accreditation, we rely on the AACI's own organisation list, where the hospital appears with an accredited status dating from early 2023 plus two separate ISO certificates. The hospital page on this site gives the details and sources, and we suggest reading it rather than relying on this summary.

A reminder of general rhinoplasty timing, drawn from our guide: the external splint and any stitches are usually removed some five to ten days after surgery, with a check at that point; visible swelling mostly fades within about three weeks, while fine changes at the tip carry on for twelve months or longer. Dr. Theerasak or the hospital would set your own timetable. Ask what follow-up is available once you are back home and how photos and messages are reviewed.

A well-prepared file speeds up a remote review and lets the surgeon give a more useful outline. For a nose consultation, in general, prepare the following.

• Photos: a frontal shot, a profile from each side and one looking up at the base of the nose, in natural light, unfiltered, hair pulled away from the face. Add one or two older photos if your nose has changed over the years.
• Your aims: a short note on what you want altered and what you would prefer to leave alone. Reference photos are helpful when you say precisely what you like in them.
• Medical history: earlier nose surgery or injury, blocked breathing, sinus trouble or allergies, past reactions to anaesthesia, long-term illnesses, and any known tendency to bleed or scar badly.
• Medicines and supplements: names and doses, including aspirin, ibuprofen, blood thinners and herbal products, because some of them increase bleeding. A prescribed medicine should only be paused on a doctor's advice.
• Smoking and nicotine: how much you use. Nicotine slows healing, and our guide says patients are usually asked to avoid it for several weeks either side of the operation.
• Records of previous surgery: operation notes or implant details and dates, if you have had a nose operation before.
• Travel plans: your possible flight dates, how long you can spend in Bangkok and who will travel with you. Our guide mentions a common stay of about a week to ten days, until the splint is off and a check has been done.

Send everything through the consultation request and our patient team will forward it to the hospital. A remote review is only an outline; the plan is finalised after a face-to-face examination.
