Dr. Thitiwat Wirarojratchakul

Dr. Thitiwat Wirarojratchakul (Thai: นพ. ธิติวัฒน์ วีรโรจน์รัชกุล) is a Bangkok-based surgeon whose published work centres on hair restoration. His hospital profile is at Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok, where he appears as 'Thitiwat Wirarojratchakul, M.D.' within the Plastic Surgery Center. The hospital files him under 'Plastic Hair Transplantation' (ศัลยกรรมปลูกผมถาวร) and names hair transplant surgery as his special clinical interest. Separately, the Million Hair Transplant Center, a hair transplant clinic in the Nirvana at Work complex on Rama 9 Road in Suan Luang, Bangkok, states on its website that it is run by him.

For a patient weighing up a consultation with him, the profile comes down to three things:

• Qualifications. In Thailand he is board-certified in surgery (Thai Board of Surgery, 1995). His hair-specific credential comes from the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS), which certified him in 2023; the board's directory shows his status as verified.
• Hair restoration societies. He appears in the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) directory with full-member status, and on the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons (IAHRS) website as an associate member.
• Documented procedures. Across Bumrungrad, the ISHRS directory and his centre's websites, he is linked to scalp hair transplant by the FUT (strip) method and by FUE, to beard and moustache transplant, and to eyebrow transplant.

The ISHRS entry goes further and names eyelash work, female hair restoration, scar and facelift hair revision, body hair transplantation and medical (non-surgical) treatment of hair loss. The procedure section below takes each of these in turn and notes which source mentions it.

Bumrungrad records two languages for him, Thai and English. At the hospital, his hair transplant clinic is part of the Plastic Surgery Center, up on the sixteenth floor of Building A. Bumrungrad's timetable, as captured on 27 September 2026, showed him on Monday and Friday only, with neither session beginning before 16:00.

We built this profile from sources we opened and dated on that day: his English and Thai Bumrungrad pages, the ABHRS, ISHRS and IAHRS listings, and the Million Hair Transplant Center websites. Anything that rests only on his own clinic's site is marked as such. For how we check surgeons, see our research methodology.

If you want to discuss scalp, beard or eyebrow restoration with him, request a consultation with Dr. Thitiwat. Our patient team forwards it to Bumrungrad or to his centre, checks which dates are open and writes back to you; no slot is held for you until that reply arrives.

Dr. Thitiwat trained first as a surgeon and later added a board certification in hair restoration. Each item below states what kind of source it rests on: Bumrungrad's profile, a professional body's own directory, or the website of the centre he runs.

Medical degree (1992). Dr. Thitiwat's medical degree dates from 1992. He studied at Mahidol University, in its Ramathibodi Hospital faculty of medicine, and holds the Thai degree แพทยศาสตรบัณฑิต (M.D.). The school and the year are identical on Bumrungrad's profile and on his clinic's pages.

Thai Board of Surgery (1995). Bumrungrad lists his Thai board diploma in surgery with the year 1995. On the Thai-language pages of his clinic it appears as วุฒิบัตรศัลยศาสตร์ทั่วไป, the general surgery diploma, with กรมการแพทย์ (the Department of Medical Services) named alongside it. It is a specialist qualification in surgery, not in plastic surgery. Bumrungrad's Plastic Surgery Center handles hair transplantation as well as cosmetic and reconstructive operations, and his profile is placed in that centre under the label 'Plastic Hair Transplantation'.

ABHRS certification (2023). Bumrungrad's page words this credential as 'Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Reconstruction Surgery, 2023'. The certifying body is in fact called the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, and its online physician directory records him as a verified Diplomate with a certification year of 2023. Among his qualifications, this is the one specific to hair restoration surgery, and it is confirmed by the board itself rather than by the hospital alone.

Hair restoration training listed by his clinic. Two further items appear only on the Million Hair Transplant Center's website:

• fellowship training, published as 'Fellowship of EBHF training by Donovanhairacademy' (Donovan Hair Academy);
• a course the clinic names the 'Hair Master Course'.

Thai medical licence. His clinic's site prints the licence number ว.18229 beside his medical degree. 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 repeat that check free of charge by entering his name at checkmd.tmc.or.th; our hair transplant guide lists confirming a surgeon's licence with the Medical Council among the checks worth making before you choose.

What the sources do not say. None of the pages we checked gives him an academic title, a board certification in plastic surgery, a stated number of years in hair restoration or a count of procedures performed. A PubMed search for his surname returned no records. If any of these points affects your choice, raise it with the clinic when you consult.

Bumrungrad International Hospital, Bangkok. Bumrungrad lists him as a hair transplant surgeon in its Plastic (Cosmetic) Surgery Center, whose front desk (counter A) is up on the sixteenth floor of Building A. When we checked the hospital site on 27 September 2026, his sessions were shown as Monday 17:00–20:00 and Friday 16:00–19:00. Sessions can move, and our patient team checks the live timetable with Bumrungrad whenever it forwards a request for him. On his clinic's Thai site, the Bumrungrad role is described as consultant hair transplant surgeon (ศัลยแพทย์ที่ปรึกษาศัลยกรรมปลูกผม).

Million Hair Transplant Center, Bangkok. According to its website, the centre is run by Dr. Thitiwat ('ดำเนินงานโดย นพ.ธิติวัฒน์ วีรโรจน์รัชกุล'). The address it publishes is 877/6 Nirvana at Work, Rama 9 Road, Suan Luang, Bangkok 10250, which matches the practice address in his ISHRS listing. Among its services the centre names FUT and FUE hair transplantation, moustache and beard transplantation, and eyebrow and eyelash transplantation. ThaiCosmeticSurgery.com has not yet researched the centre as a facility, so we cannot describe its premises, licensing, accreditation or arrangements for patients from abroad.

Vimut Hospital. The clinic's site also names him as a consultant hair transplant surgeon at Vimut Hospital in Bangkok. A search of Vimut's online doctor finder on 27 September 2026 did not bring up his name, so we do not list Vimut among his places of practice.

Memberships the organisations confirm. Two hair restoration bodies list him on their own websites:

• ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery): the society's Find a Doctor directory shows him as a Full Member. His clinic says his ISHRS membership dates from 2007 and announces his appointment as a Fellow; the directory still showed 'Full Member' when we checked, so that is the status we use.
• IAHRS (International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons): his member page shows Associate Member status and names the Million Hair Transplant Center as his practice. The IAHRS is a network of hair restoration surgeons, not a national specialty society.

Affiliations stated only by his clinic. The Million Hair Transplant Center websites add the roles below. They are listed as stated on the profile:

• faculty member of FUE Europe and of FUE Asia;
• faculty member of the Global Hair Loss Summit (GHLS), which is a teaching role at a meeting rather than membership of a society;
• faculty member of the Regenerative Hair Restoration Society (RHRS);
• member of the World FUE Institute (WFI);
• member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) and the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT).

Thai plastic surgery society. He does not appear in the member directory of Thailand's national plastic and reconstructive surgery society (ThPRS), and no source claims that he belongs to it. With a Thai board certification in general surgery rather than plastic surgery, that is to be expected; his professional memberships lie in the hair restoration field.

Our rule is to connect a surgeon with a procedure only where an official page or a professional body names it. For Dr. Thitiwat that gives four procedure pages on this site. Under each heading you will find the source of the link, a general outline drawn from our hair transplant guide, and points worth raising with him. The general outline is not a treatment plan: whether a procedure suits you can only be decided after his own assessment.

Scalp hair transplant by FUT or FUE

Documented: Bumrungrad gives 'Plastic Hair Transplantation' as his specialty and hair transplant surgery as his special clinical interest. His ISHRS entry names both Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Excision (FUE), and the home page of his centre's English site (fuehairthai.com) states that the centre offers both techniques.

In general: In a hair transplant, the surgeon relocates follicles from a donor zone whose hair resists balding, most often at the back of the head, to areas that have thinned. With FUT, a strip of scalp is removed and cut into grafts; this leaves a line scar and can provide a large number of grafts. With FUE, each follicle is taken out separately with a small punch, leaving small dot-shaped scars. Our guide describes the operation as a day case under local anaesthesia that often lasts 6–8 hours in one day, although the length depends on the individual plan. Donor hair is finite, so careful planning spends it on a natural-looking hairline and on density that will still suit you if your hair loss progresses. Surgery is not right for everyone: according to our guide, a candidate needs a donor area with sufficient good-quality hair, and hair loss whose cause has been diagnosed and whose pattern has settled.

With Dr. Thitiwat: Because both methods are on record for him, ask him to weigh FUT against FUE for your particular donor area and goals, and to explain which he would choose and why. None of the sources states which techniques he performs at Bumrungrad and which at his own centre, so confirm where your operation would take place.

FUE hair transplant

Documented: FUE is in his ISHRS procedure list, on the Thai about page of his centre and on the centre's English home page.

In general: FUE avoids a strip scar, but it does not create extra donor hair; taking too many follicles from the donor zone (over-harvesting) is one of the risks our guide lists. The surgeon's plan and the care the team takes with the grafts count for more than the name attached to the technique.

With Dr. Thitiwat: Ask for his graft estimate, what the donor area should look like once healed, and how much reserve his plan keeps back for any future session. The centre's English site also mentions the ARTAS robotic system; if robotic harvesting interests you, ask whether it is relevant to your case and at which location it would be used.

Beard and moustache transplant

Documented: His ISHRS entry includes beards and moustaches, and his centre lists permanent moustache and beard transplantation (ปลูกหนวดและเคราถาวร). At Bumrungrad, the Plastic Surgery Center's description of its hair transplantation patients includes people who wish to thicken or restore a beard.

In general: A beard transplant works on the same principle as scalp surgery: follicles taken from a donor zone are implanted where facial hair is patchy or absent. Our beard transplant page does not yet set out a separate recovery timeline, so we do not give one here.

With Dr. Thitiwat: Bring a clear idea, or a picture, of the beard or moustache outline you want. Ask how he would draw the border and set the direction of growth, which donor zone he would use and whether that would reduce what is available for a later scalp transplant, and whether facial grafts grow on a different timetable from scalp grafts.

Eyebrow transplant, and eyelashes

Documented: Eyebrows and eyelashes both appear in his ISHRS entry; his centre offers permanent eyebrow and eyelash transplantation (ปลูกคิ้วและขนตาถาวร); and Bumrungrad's Plastic Surgery Center lists thickening or restoring eyebrows and eyelashes among the reasons people come to it for hair transplantation.

In general: An eyebrow transplant rebuilds or fills the brows with individually placed grafts. We do not yet have a page for eyelash transplantation, and our eyebrow page does not yet give a recovery timeline.

With Dr. Thitiwat: Ask which area the donor hairs would come from, how they tend to behave once they are growing in the brow, whether they will need trimming, and how earlier tattooing or microblading would change his plan. If your brows thinned after an illness, an injury or long-term plucking, tell him, because the cause affects what can be done.

Other areas in his ISHRS listing

Several further areas appear under his name in the ISHRS directory but have no page of their own on our site:

• Female hair restoration surgery, listed together with medical management of hair loss in women. Bumrungrad's centre also names women with thinning hair among its hair transplant patients. In general, a woman's hair loss is investigated medically before surgery is considered, and only some women turn out to be suitable candidates.
• Medical (non-surgical) treatment of hair loss in men. Our guide mentions that a doctor may suggest a medicine, minoxidil or finasteride for example, next to surgery to help protect the existing, non-transplanted hair; ask him whether that is sensible in your case.
• Scar revision and facelift hair revision. Bumrungrad's centre includes people with scarring from an injury or from a facelift among its hair transplant patients.
• Body hair transplantation and ethnic hair, as the directory words them.

Not documented

No source we found connects Dr. Thitiwat with DHI (direct hair implantation) or with surgical hairline lowering (forehead reduction). His centre talks about reshaping the hairline by transplanting hair, which is not the same operation as lowering the hairline surgically. If either interests you, ask him directly, or ask our patient team to point you to surgeons whose profiles document those procedures.

A hair restoration consultation is largely about diagnosis and about a plan that holds up over time. Dr. Thitiwat's documented range covers FUT, FUE, facial hair and non-surgical management of hair loss, so a first appointment with him can look at several options rather than a single technique. Writing your questions down beforehand usually helps; the lists below are a starting point.

About the diagnosis

• What is causing my thinning, and has it settled enough for an operation now?
• Could medication protect the hair I still have, with or without a transplant?
• If my loss is progressing quickly, should I wait before having surgery?

About the plan

• Which do you advise for me, FUT or FUE, and what are your reasons?
• What graft count do you expect, and what donor reserve will be left afterwards?
• How will you shape the hairline so that it still looks right as I age?
• Would the operation be at Bumrungrad International Hospital or at the Million Hair Transplant Center?
• Which parts of the procedure will you do personally, and which will your team do?

About the price and the weeks after surgery

• Could you put the price per graft and the expected graft count in writing for me?
• Which items does the quoted price cover: medication, aftercare products, the first hair wash, follow-up appointments?
• Who do I contact if a problem appears after I get home, and how are complications managed?

For beard, moustache or eyebrow work

• Which donor zone will you use, and could that limit a scalp transplant later?
• How will you angle the hairs so that they look natural?
• Will the new hairs need trimming, and how might they change over the years?

Cost. We found no published prices for Dr. Thitiwat's procedures at Bumrungrad or at his centre. In general, a hair transplant quote is shaped by how many grafts you need, which method is used, which members of the team carry out each stage and what aftercare products are included; our hair transplant guide links to a cost guide with more on this. Estimates come from the hospital or clinic, not from ThaiCosmeticSurgery.com.

Recovery. As general guidance, our hair transplant guide outlines the typical course after scalp surgery: scabbing and redness during roughly the first ten days, shedding of the transplanted hairs often at 2–6 weeks, new growth usually from 3–4 months, visible improvement at 6–9 months, and most of the result at around 12 months, sometimes later for the crown. Individual timelines vary, so ask him whether yours may differ, especially for facial hair. The guide's list of possible problems includes swelling, temporary numbness, infection, folliculitis, visible donor-area scarring, an unnatural hairline if planning is poor, low graft survival and over-harvesting of the donor area. Ask him how each is managed and what he does to reduce the risk.

Starting online. For patients abroad, an online consultation is a practical first step. Bumrungrad offers tele-consultation for its Plastic Surgery Center, and our patient team can forward either an online or an in-person request. Treat any plan made from photos as provisional: Dr. Thitiwat needs to examine your scalp or face in person before it can be confirmed.

Bumrungrad International Hospital. The hospital side of Dr. Thitiwat's practice is at Bumrungrad International Hospital, which is privately owned. The hospital's address reads 33 Sukhumvit 3 (Soi Nana Nua), and it lies in Bangkok's Watthana district, postcode 10110. Bumrungrad dates its founding to 1980, and its factsheet counts 580 inpatient beds. Its accreditations include Joint Commission International (JCI) hospital accreditation, Advanced Hospital Accreditation from HA Thailand, and Global Healthcare Accreditation (GHA) for medical travel.

Bumrungrad describes these services for people coming from abroad:

• Coordination before and after the trip: the Medical Coordination Office, on level 10 of Building A, is staffed by physicians and nurses who look through your records, provide cost estimates and set up appointments and telemedicine; once you leave hospital, the same office supplies medical reports and fitness-to-fly paperwork and arranges follow-up.
• Language: the factsheet counts upwards of 130 interpreters on staff, and Cultural Support Officers step in for travelling patients who find it easier to speak their own language.
• Arrival: Bumrungrad staffs a desk in the Suvarnabhumi Airport arrivals hall, and a complimentary van leaves roughly every hour for the hospital or hotels nearby, subject to passenger numbers.
• Local transport: if you are staying elsewhere in the city, the hospital runs complimentary vans, seven days a week, that pick up at two Skytrain stops, Nana and Phrom Phong.
• Paperwork and travel: extending a Thai visa for a patient or a travelling companion is handled through Bumrungrad's Business Center, which also books hotels; embassy assistance and liaison with overseas insurers are listed among the hospital's services too.

The Plastic Surgery Center keeps weekday hours of 8.30–20.00 and weekend hours of 8.00–17.00, and doctors there see patients by appointment only. Because Dr. Thitiwat's published sessions fall on Monday and Friday evenings, patients flying in to see him can plan their arrival around one of those evenings, after checking the current timetable with us. On Bumrungrad's page his spoken languages appear as Thai and English. A patient who would rather talk through graft numbers and hairline design in some other language can note this when writing to us; we then raise interpreting support with Bumrungrad.

Million Hair Transplant Center. We have no verified information on interpreters, airport transfers or other help for international patients at his own centre. If you would like treatment there, ask what support it gives overseas patients before you book travel.

Length of stay. As a general guide, our hair transplant page says international patients commonly spend 3–5 days in Thailand, which allows for arrival, the operation itself and a check-up or first hair wash before the flight home. Your surgeon's advice for your own case takes precedence. The same page describes the procedure as a day case under local anaesthesia, so an overnight hospital stay is not usually part of the plan. Pack a loose hat, keep your scalp out of the sun, avoid strenuous exercise and follow the washing routine you are given. A changeable return flight is sensible, because clearance to travel home comes from the operating surgeon. Most regrowth happens months after you return, so agree before you travel how follow-up will work from home, for example by sending photos at set intervals.

Careful preparation lets the surgeon's team give a more useful first opinion, particularly when your first contact is online. Treat your scalp photos and health history as private medical records: send them to us by the booking form or WhatsApp alone, and wait for the team to request pictures first.

Whatever the procedure

• which area concerns you and what result you would like;
• the dates that suit you, online or in person, and whether you prefer Bumrungrad or his centre;
• your health in general, any medicines or supplements you take, allergies and past operations;
• the questions you would like Dr. Thitiwat to answer.

For hair loss on the scalp

• when the loss began, how it has progressed, and whether parents or siblings have a similar pattern;
• treatments you have tried, for example minoxidil or finasteride, how long you used them and what changed;
• details of any earlier transplant: the clinic, the method (FUT or FUE), the date and, if known, the number of grafts;
• if the team asks for photos, photograph dry, unstyled hair in daylight: the hairline straight on, the top from above, the crown, left and right profiles, and the back of the head where donor hair would be taken.

For beard, moustache or eyebrow work

• if photos are requested, front and side views of the face with no make-up, filters or styling products;
• an image or drawing of the shape you have in mind;
• for eyebrows, any history of tattooing, microblading, over-plucking, injury or illness affecting them.

For women, scars and revision cases

• for women with thinning hair, the results of any assessment or blood tests already done by a dermatologist or another doctor;
• for scars in hair-bearing skin, what caused the scar, when it happened, and any reports from previous surgery such as a facelift.

Keep a copy of everything you send; your own doctor at home may find it useful during follow-up.
