Dr. Tiparut Thithuan

Dr. Tiparut Thithuan is an oculoplastic surgeon working in Bangkok. Oculoplastic surgery is a branch of ophthalmology. It deals with the eyelids, the tissues that surround the eyeball and the rebuilding of that region. The hospital's official profile gives the surgeon's specialty as oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery and names the role as oculoplastic surgeon in the Eye Center at Praram 9 Hospital, a private hospital in Bangkok's Huai Khwang district.

This is the starting point for any patient reading this page: Dr. Tiparut is an eye surgeon with further training in plastic and reconstructive work around the eye, not a general plastic surgeon who operates on the face and body. The distinction matters when you decide whether this is the right specialist for your question. If your concern is the eyelids, the area around the eyes or reconstruction in that region, an oculoplastic surgeon is a specialist you may want to see. If you are looking for a nose, breast or body procedure, that is not the specialty the hospital describes.

What is documented, and what is not. We checked this profile against the hospital's own doctor page on 2 October 2026. That page publishes the surgeon's name, the Eye Center affiliation, the specialty and three stages of education and training. It does not publish a list of procedures, special interests, professional society memberships, languages spoken, positions held or publications. 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. We do not fill those gaps with assumptions. Where something a patient would want to know is not published, we say so and suggest you ask in person.

Reaching Dr. Tiparut through us. ThaiCosmeticSurgery.com is a booking platform, not a clinic. You can request a consultation with Dr. Tiparut, and our patient team will pass your message to the hospital and come back to you with the answer. Nothing is arranged until the hospital agrees a time, and we do not promise instant appointments. To see how we gather and check provider information, read our provider research methodology.

The hospital profile lists three stages of education, all completed in Thailand. From earliest to most recent they are:

• Doctor of Medicine, Chiangmai University (2010). The medical degree.
• Residency in ophthalmology, Chiangmai University (2016). Residency is the multi-year postgraduate training that prepares a doctor to work as an eye specialist.
• Fellowship in oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery, Chulalongkorn University (2019). A fellowship is an additional period of focused training that follows residency. Here it lies in the subspecialty of oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery.

In plain terms, the record shows medical school, then an ophthalmology residency, then a further fellowship concentrating on surgery of the eyelids and neighbouring structures and on reconstruction. The years above are the ones the hospital attaches to each entry.

What a fellowship tells you, and what it does not. A fellowship in oculoplastic surgery points to formal subspecialty training. It does not by itself tell you which operations a surgeon carries out today, how often, or in which combination. The profile does not describe the content of the fellowship, and we do not guess at it.

What we could not confirm. The hospital page does not mention a specialist board certification, and we found none stated on an official page we are permitted to cite, so we do not claim one. 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. You can search for the name yourself on the Council's public register, and it is sensible to do that for any surgeon you are considering in Thailand. At the consultation you can also ask directly about licence, board status and which procedures the surgeon routinely performs.

The one role documented for Dr. Tiparut Thithuan is oculoplastic surgeon in the Eye Center at Praram 9 Hospital. No earlier or additional positions, academic appointments or hospital affiliations are published on the profile we verified, so none are listed here.

We do not state years in practice or caseloads. The hospital does not publish them for this surgeon, and a figure we could not source would be exactly the kind of unsupported claim that makes medical profiles unreliable. The only date that bears on career stage is the 2019 year attached to the fellowship, and we leave it to you to draw your own conclusions. Questions worth raising at consultation: how many cases like yours has the surgeon treated, what do typical results and complications look like, and how is follow-up arranged?

The hospital's own department listing says its Eye Center includes oculoplastic surgeons, in the plural. If you want to compare, our Praram 9 Hospital page lists the surgeons we found there, including another oculoplastic specialist, Dr. Pattama Wongwatthanadej. Listing two surgeons side by side is not a ranking, and we do not suggest that either is better than the other.

No procedure list is published. The hospital profile for Dr. Tiparut gives a specialty yet no individual operation is named, which is why Dr. Tiparut is not linked to any specific procedure on our site. This is deliberate. A specialty does not by itself prove that a surgeon performs a given operation, and we attach procedures to a surgeon only when an official page says they offer them.

What we can offer is general orientation about the eyelid area, where oculoplastic surgery is centred. In general, people who see an oculoplastic surgeon arrive with one of a small number of questions, and our site has a page on each:

• Hooded upper lids or under-eye bags. Blepharoplasty is the umbrella term for operations that take away or move excess tissue (skin, muscle, fat) from the upper or lower eyelids. It is divided into upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery. In some people heavy upper lids also block part of the upper field of view, in which case the operation can improve vision as well as appearance.
• Creating or refining an upper eyelid crease. Double eyelid surgery, also called Asian blepharoplasty, creates or refines an upper eyelid crease by an incision or a suture technique.
• A drooping lid margin. Ptosis correction addresses sagging of the lid margin itself, which is a different problem from loose skin. It needs muscle repair, and the surgeon examines for it.
• A lowered brow. Sometimes the underlying issue is that the brow has descended, in which case a brow lift could be the more fitting operation.

These pages describe the procedures in general terms. They are not a statement that Dr. Tiparut performs each one. Use this list as preparation: if your concern appears on it, ask in your consultation request whether Dr. Tiparut treats it, and read the later sections on what to discuss.

Reconstructive work. The documented subspecialty includes the words "reconstructive surgery". In general, reconstructive surgery around the eye aims to restore structure and function after injury, disease or surgery to remove a growth, rather than to change how someone looks. If your question is of that kind, say so in your request, because it changes what information and records the surgeon will need.

Procedures outside this specialty. Nothing on the profile points to surgery of the nose, breasts, body or hair. For those, our Praram 9 Hospital page and our wider surgeon directory show who is listed elsewhere.

What follows is general guidance for a consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon, written to be consistent with our procedure pages. It does not describe how Dr. Tiparut runs a consultation, which is not published, and only an examination in person can show which operation, if any, is appropriate for you.

Start with what you want to change, and why. Say whether your main concern is appearance, vision, comfort or a medical problem. Heavy upper lids can be a cosmetic and a functional concern at once, and the plan can differ depending on which matters most to you.

Expect questions about your eyes and general health. Typical history-taking covers vision, dry eyes, glaucoma and thyroid eye disease, because each affects safety and the choice of technique. An oculoplastic surgeon is trained as an ophthalmologist, so these questions are a normal part of the visit. Bring your glasses prescription, any eye drops you use and the names of any eye conditions you have been diagnosed with.

Ask which problem you actually have. A hooded lid can have different causes: extra skin, extra fat, a descended brow or a lowered lid margin (ptosis). The operations differ, so it is reasonable to ask the surgeon to explain what they see and why they favour one approach over another.

Techniques and scars. For upper lid surgery, incisions in general sit in the natural crease. For lower lids the surgeon may cut just below the lash line, or approach through the inside of the lower lid (the transconjunctival route), so that no scar shows on the outside. A double eyelid crease can be made using a full incision, or with stitches alone if the lid is suitable, an option that may not last as long. Ask which is suitable for you and what the trade-offs are.

Risks. Possible complications of eyelid surgery in general include dry or irritated eyes, temporary blurred vision, difficulty closing the eyes fully, asymmetry, visible scarring, lower lid malposition (the lid pulling down), infection and, very rarely, bleeding behind the eye that affects vision. Ask the surgeon how often they see each of these, how they treat them and what to do if something goes wrong after you leave Thailand. Severe pain or loss of vision after surgery needs urgent medical help.

Anaesthesia and the setting. Our procedure page says eyelid surgery in Thailand is commonly performed with local anaesthesia plus sedation, with general anaesthesia as the alternative, usually as a day case. Ask who administers the anaesthetic, where the operation will take place and what the quoted fee covers.

Bring a list of questions. Useful ones include: What would you advise in my case, and why? Which of my features limits what is realistic? How will we judge the result? What follow-up do I need, and who will see me if I have a problem at home? What happens if I am unhappy with the outcome?

Dr. Tiparut's documented workplace is Praram 9 Hospital, whose contact page gives the address as 99 Bang Kapi, Huai Khwang, Bangkok 10310. Everything in this section describes the hospital's services, not this surgeon in particular.

• Interpreters. Per the hospital's international-patient page, interpreters can support overseas patients from the point of arrival planning to after discharge, with a daily service window of 7.00am to 5.00pm.
• Interpreter languages. The service covers English plus five other languages (Mandarin, Burmese, Khmer, Japanese, Arabic). It is a hospital arrangement and tells you nothing about the languages Dr. Tiparut speaks, which the profile does not give. If you need to consult in a particular language, say so when you send your request.
• International contact lines. The hospital's contact page carries separate numbers for international and expat callers, grouped by country or region.
• Reaching the hospital. According to the same contact page, free transport is offered: a van that departs Phetchaburi MRT (exit 1), and a bus that serves Makkasan on the Airport Rail Link.

We could not confirm a current accreditation for the hospital in an accreditor's own database, so none is stated here. Our hospital page will be updated if that changes.

Planning a trip. The length of stay depends on the operation and on the surgeon's advice. Our eyelid surgery guide describes a general recovery timeline: stitches usually come out around 5–7 days, with flying home commonly planned for about then, though your own plan should be confirmed before you book flights. If you are weighing up other places to have treatment, our page on Bangkok offers wider context.

A well-prepared request helps the hospital give you a useful answer. This is general guidance for people consulting about the eyelids or the surrounding area.

Photographs. Clear, well-lit photographs of your face are usually the most helpful: straight on with a neutral expression and eyes open, from each side, and looking slightly upward and downward. Take them without make-up, glasses or heavy filters, and without a fringe covering the brows or lids. If your concern is a drooping lid, add a photograph with your eyes looking straight ahead so the lid position is visible.

Older photographs. If a change in your eyelids is recent or affects one side only, an older photograph (such as a passport photo) showing how they used to look helps the surgeon judge what has changed.

Medical history. List any eye conditions, previous eye or eyelid surgery, glaucoma, dry eye, thyroid disease and whether you wear contact lenses. Add your regular medicines, especially blood thinners, and any allergies or earlier problems with anaesthesia.

Eye records. If you have a recent glasses prescription or an eye clinic letter, send a copy. For a question about rebuilding the eye area following trauma or growth removal, include any operation notes, scans or pathology reports you hold.

Your goals and limits. Note what bothers you, what you hope to alter and what you want left alone. Give your possible travel dates and how many days you can be away, since both shape the plan.

Questions. Add the questions from the consultation section above. Leave passport scans and card details out of the first message.
