Dr. Watunyou Roengruen

Dr. Watunyou Roengruen (Thai: นพ.วทัญญู เริงรื่น) is a male Thai plastic surgeon with a practice base in Bangkok. Two hospitals publish a profile for him. His Bangkok Hospital Headquarters entry (see the hospital page) places him in the Plastic Surgery and Reconstruction Center, while Piyavate Hospital places him in its Surgery Center, with general surgery and plastic surgery named. Both profiles give his languages as English and Thai.

The qualifications on those profiles follow a general surgery route into plastic surgery: a surgery board qualification dated 2020, then a plastic surgery board qualification dated 2023. The next section sets out the training history in order.

What the official profiles do not contain matters as much as what they do. Neither one names a list of procedures he personally performs, a set of special interests, a professional society membership, or a job title beyond the department where he is listed. We have therefore added none of these. Our research methodology records only details that an official source states, and leaves a field empty when the sources are silent.

If you are comparing surgeons, treat this page as a verified starting point rather than a complete portfolio. The practical way to learn which operations he carries out is to ask him in a consultation, and you can add that question to your request so it reaches the hospital with the rest.

The two hospital profiles together give this sequence:

• 2013: Doctor of Medicine, Phramongkutklao College of Medicine, Thailand.
• 2016: an Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) certificate, listed under Phramongkutklao Hospital.
• 2020: general surgery residency at Phramongkutklao Hospital, and the matching surgery board qualification from the Medical Council of Thailand.
• 2023: plastic surgery residency at Rajavithi Hospital, and the matching plastic surgery board qualification from the Medical Council of Thailand.

The two hospitals do not word everything identically. Piyavate Hospital words the two board qualifications as a Thai Board diploma in general surgery and a Thai Board diploma in plastic surgery. Bangkok Hospital condenses them to the single words Surgery and Plastic Surgery and names the Medical Council of Thailand as the awarding body. Bangkok Hospital also shows a 2016 entry for surgery at Phramongkutklao Hospital without saying what kind of training it was. We used the Piyavate wording and the year 2020 for the residency, because Piyavate states it as a general surgery residency.

Both profiles also give 2023 as the plastic surgery year, which means his plastic surgery qualification is recent. Years in practice are not stated anywhere, so we do not estimate them.

Licence status. 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.

Before travelling you can search his name there yourself, or ask the hospital to confirm his credentials.

The research file records two current practice locations, both in Bangkok.

• [Bangkok Hospital Headquarters](/hospital/bangkok-hospital-headquarters/) is a Huai Khwang private hospital that, by its own history page, opened in 1972. His entry there falls under the Plastic Surgery and Reconstruction Center, located on the 1st floor of D Building and open daily between 8.00 am and 4.00 pm according to the hospital. The Joint Commission International directory lists the hospital program as accredited, with an effective date of 30 June 2007. The directory gives no expiry date, so ask the hospital for its current accreditation certificate.
• [Piyavate Hospital](/hospital/piyavate-hospital/) lists him in its Surgery Center for general surgery and plastic surgery. We have no verified research file for Piyavate's own plastic surgery service lines, international services or accreditation, so this page makes no claims about them. Ask the hospital or our patient team for those details.

No source says how long he has worked at either hospital, whether he holds a senior or leadership role, or on which days he sees patients at each site. Those are sensible questions to put to the hospital when you request an appointment, particularly the practical one of which campus he would operate at for your procedure.

Since neither profile lists his personal procedure range, the first consultation has an extra job: establishing how often he performs the particular operation you have in mind. Useful questions, in order:

1. Which procedures does he perform most often, and is yours one of them?
2. At which hospital would the operation take place, and is it done as a day case or with an overnight stay?
3. Does the quoted fee include the surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital room, implants or materials, and follow-up visits?
4. What are the specific risks for your anatomy and health history, and what happens if a revision is needed?
5. How will aftercare work once you return home?

What Bangkok Hospital's center says it offers. The center's own pages list facial contouring (rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, cheek augmentation, lip augmentation), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), facelift, operations on the breast (breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction), and body contouring (tummy tuck, liposuction, VASER liposuction). It also lists repair of congenital defects such as cleft palate, and repair surgery after accidents or burns. These are the department's service lines. They are not a statement that Dr. Watunyou does each one, and you should not read them that way.

General guidance, not specific to him. Our procedure pages give about 7–10 days away from home for nose reshaping or breast implants and 12–14 days for an abdominoplasty. These are planning figures only. Every operation carries risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, unsatisfactory results and anaesthetic complications, and whether you are a suitable candidate can only be judged after an in-person or video assessment by the surgeon. Read the relevant procedure page before the appointment so your questions are specific.

Our verified facility information covers Bangkok Hospital Headquarters. Its international services, as the hospital describes them, include:

• a hospital desk in the arrivals area of Suvarnabhumi Airport (2nd floor, next to Gate 5, Exit B);
• a complimentary airport-to-hospital van service that seats people in order of arrival;
• car transfers by limousine, arranged via the hospital's Concierge Department;
• pre-registration and doctor appointments arranged at the airport counter for first-time visitors;
• an escort service through the airport on arrival and departure, which carries a fee;
• a Fit to Fly certificate, printable at that same counter when you request it ahead of discharge;
• liaison offices and agents the hospital lists across several Asian countries and in the UK and Europe.

No interpreter-language list is published for the hospital, so if you need support in a language besides English, raise it before you book.

For Piyavate Hospital we have not recorded international-patient services, so do not assume the same arrangements apply. Tell our patient team which campus you are considering and we will ask that hospital what it offers for overseas patients.

In general, patients travelling for surgery should plan to remain close to the hospital during the early recovery days, get the surgeon's clearance before flying home, and keep copies of the operative notes, implant details if any, and discharge instructions for their own doctor.

The surgeon assesses your request individually, so the most helpful preparation is a clear file about you. Because his own procedure range is not published, this list is general:

• Your goal in your own words: one or two sentences about what bothers you and what result you hope for, plus any reference pictures you like.
• Photos of the area: shot in soft, even light with an uncluttered backdrop, straight on and from each side. For facial procedures, include a relaxed expression and a smile.
• Medical history: previous operations, especially at the same site, everyday medicines and supplements, allergies, tobacco or nicotine use, and chronic illnesses that affect healing or anaesthesia.
• Body measurements: height and weight, which affect what is safe for body-contouring and breast surgery.
• Earlier reports: scans, operative notes or implant cards from any previous surgery.
• Timing: your travel window, and any event dates you are working towards, so recovery time can be planned realistically.

Our patient team confirms the exact documents each hospital wants once the request is under way, so you do not have to guess. Share photos only through the channel the team gives you, not by posting them publicly.
