Kamol Cosmetic Hospital

Kamol Cosmetic Hospital (Thai: โรงพยาบาลศัลยกรรมตกแต่งกมล) is a cosmetic surgery hospital in Bangkok's Wang Thonglang district, at 1223 Lat Phrao 94, Inthraphon Road. Its own pages also call it Kamol Hospital and Kamol Plastic Surgery Hospital. The hospital carries the name of Dr. Kamol Pansritum, whose official profile lists him as its Founder & Chief Plastic Surgeon.

Two lines of work run through Kamol's service pages. The first is gender-affirming surgery in both directions: male-to-female (vaginoplasty by several techniques, facial feminization, voice feminization and breast augmentation) and female-to-male (top surgery, phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, hysterectomy, and facial and voice masculinization). The second is aesthetic plastic surgery of the face, breasts and body, together with hair transplantation. Kamol describes its building as purpose-built for complex aesthetic and gender-affirming surgery; its operating floor includes a microsurgery theatre and an endoscopic operating suite.

This profile lists 14 surgeons and surgical specialists named on Kamol's official doctor pages: seven plastic surgeons, and seven doctors from colorectal surgery, paediatric surgery, urology, gynaecology and ENT/head and neck surgery whom Kamol places on its gender-affirming surgery team for a defined role, such as preparing a colon graft or operating on the voice. The Joint Commission International (JCI) directory lists the hospital as accredited; the exact entry is quoted in the accreditation section below.

Some details patients often look for are either inconsistent or missing on official sources, so we leave them out rather than guess. Kamol's pages give conflicting founding dates, the case-volume figures on different pages do not agree with each other, and the total number of inpatient beds and ICU beds is not published. This profile does not quote prices; when you book through us, any fees are agreed with the hospital in a written quote. Our research methodology explains which sources a fact must come from before it appears here.

To see a Kamol surgeon, you can request a consultation at Kamol Cosmetic Hospital through our patient team, either online before you travel or in person in Bangkok. A request only becomes a booking once Kamol confirms the date.

Kamol groups its surgical work into five service areas on its website: Male to Female Surgery, Female to Male Surgery, Aesthetic Facial Surgery, Breast Surgery and Body Surgery. Its facilities page also names an LGBTQ+ Clinic, a Men Clinic, a Women Clinic, a Hair Transplant service, a Skin & Laser clinic and a Wellness Center, plus diagnostic services: a laboratory, X-ray, ultrasound, and ECHO and stress testing. Our research recorded these clinics by name only, so we do not describe them further.

Kamol's facilities page walks through the building floor by floor:

• 2nd floor: a wellness and diagnostic centre with an in-house laboratory, X-ray, ultrasound, ECG and cardiac stress testing.
• 3rd floor: registration, consultation rooms and facilities for minor surgery.
• 4th floor: the operating rooms, including a microsurgery operating room and an endoscopic operating suite. The Thai version of the page puts the number of operating rooms at seven. A recovery room with 11 monitored beds sits next to the theatres.
• 5th and 6th floors: private ward rooms, in two sizes (standard rooms of 26 sqm and VIP rooms of 52 sqm), with a central nurse station.
• 7th floor: medical residence apartments (26 sqm standard and 52 sqm superior) for recovery stays.

Why this layout matters when you compare hospitals: several of the operations Kamol documents need particular equipment or a team from more than one specialty. Dr. Akaradech Attainsee's profile, for example, describes phalloplasty using an anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap with microsurgery, and Kamol's gender reassignment page lists colon vaginoplasty by both open and laparoscopic approaches, with colorectal surgeons on the team. For simpler operations, the question is more practical: the hospital has its own laboratory, imaging and ECG on the 2nd floor, so ask whether your pre-operative tests are done there and whether they are included in your quote.

In your consultation it is also reasonable to ask which ward room type your quote assumes, how many nights on the ward are planned for your operation, and whether the recovery part of your stay is in the 7th-floor residences or at K Garden, the serviced apartments the hospital uses after discharge (see the international patients section).

The 14 doctors below are named on Kamol's official doctor pages, either as plastic surgeons or as members of its gender-affirming surgery team. The procedures given for each come from their official profiles; where a profile names a broad interest but no specific operation, we say so. Several also hold posts at other hospitals, which are shown on their own profiles. Kamol's doctor directory also names psychiatrists, anaesthesiologists, cardiologists and dermatologists; because this site lists surgeons, they do not appear here.

Founder and chief plastic surgeon

• Dr. Kamol Pansritum (กมล พันธ์ศรีทุม) is the hospital's Founder & Chief Plastic Surgeon. He qualified in medicine at Khon Kaen University (1986), trained in general surgery and then plastic surgery at Chulalongkorn Hospital, and holds Thai Board diplomas in general surgery (1992) and plastic surgery (1997). His documented procedures cover both directions of gender-affirming surgery (vaginoplasty, peritoneal and revision vaginoplasty, facial feminization and masculinization, phalloplasty and metoidioplasty) and aesthetic work including rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation and liposuction. His profile lists published and presented work on forehead and hairline surgery for gender affirmation, urethral reconstruction in phalloplasty, metoidioplasty flap techniques and peritoneal vaginoplasty. Kamol's SRS page spells his surname Pansrithum.

Plastic surgeons with a gender-affirming focus

• Dr. Wichai Surawongsin is a plastic surgeon on Kamol's gender surgery team, working alongside Dr. Kamol, with a documented focus on male-to-female genital surgery (vaginoplasty).
• Dr. Akaradech Attainsee is a plastic surgeon on the female-to-male team. His profile describes ALT flap phalloplasty with microsurgery and top surgery. He is also a staff surgeon in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Phramongkutklao Hospital.
• Dr. Sanipreeya Yingtaweesit has been a plastic surgeon at Kamol since 2018, after working in the plastic surgery department at Rajavithi Hospital. Her documented work spans facial feminization and masculinization, top surgery, breast augmentation (including for trans women), facelift, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty and liposuction. Her profile text also uses the surname Yingtaweesithikul.

Plastic surgeons with an aesthetic focus

• Dr. Vipaphan Watson joined Kamol as a plastic surgeon in 2025. Her documented procedures centre on the face (rhinoplasty, facelift, brow lift, and upper and lower eyelid surgery), with breast augmentation also listed. She also practises at BLS Surgery Center and Rajavithi Hospital.
• Dr. Janjira Paengnoi is a plastic surgeon focused on body contouring: liposuction, fat transfer to the buttocks and hips (Brazilian butt lift), breast augmentation and abdominal etching. Her hospital profile says she was trained by Dr. Kamol in body surgery techniques.
• Dr. Navin Klongkitkarnkha is a plastic surgeon whose Kamol profile names body contouring, facial cosmetic surgery and gender-affirming procedures as interests without listing specific operations. He completed his plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at Phramongkutklao Hospital in 2025 and also works at Fort Suranari Hospital in Nakhon Ratchasima.

Specialist surgeons on the gender-affirming surgery team

These doctors are not plastic surgeons. Kamol's pages place each one on its gender-affirming team for a defined role:

• Assoc. Prof. Dr. Charnjiroj Thiptanakit, colorectal surgeon: consultant in sigmoid colon and peritoneal vaginoplasty. He holds the academic rank of Associate Professor with Chulalongkorn University's Department of Surgery and also sees patients at Bumrungrad International Hospital's Colorectal Surgery Center.
• Dr. Kasidin Vitoopinyoparb, colorectal surgeon: laparoscopic preparation of the colon graft used in colon vaginoplasty.
• Dr. Danai Meekaewkunchorn, paediatric surgeon: performs the open colon technique in vaginoplasty, which his profile says is used for some revision procedures too. He also works in the Department of Surgery at Phramongkutklao Hospital.
• Dr. Ravis Tivitmahaisoon, urologist: genital reconstruction and urological care for trans women and trans men, including urethral lengthening.
• Dr. Apichart Jaideecharoen, gynaecologist: vaginal hysterectomy and oophorectomy for trans men.
• Dr. Pittaya Vapattanawong, gynaecologic oncologist on the female-to-male team: removal of the internal reproductive organs.
• Dr. Tharatip Likkasittipan, ENT/head and neck surgeon: gender-affirming voice surgery, both voice feminization and voice masculinization. He is also listed at Bangkok Hospital Headquarters.

For a combined operation such as colon vaginoplasty, more than one of these doctors may be involved. Ask Kamol which surgeons would operate on you, who leads your care, and who you will see at follow-up.

Our research found five of the plastic surgeons (Dr. Kamol, Dr. Wichai, Dr. Akaradech, Dr. Sanipreeya and Dr. Janjira) on the membership list of ThPRS, the Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand. Dr. Vipaphan's ThPRS membership is stated on her hospital profile only, and no membership was recorded for Dr. Navin. Each doctor's licence can be looked up on the Medical Council of Thailand's public register at checkmd.tmc.or.th.

Each procedure below appears on an official Kamol service page; hip augmentation is the one exception, appearing only as an option in the hospital's pre-arrival form. Where our research links a named Kamol surgeon to a procedure, we say who. The general guidance is taken from our procedure guides and applies to these operations wherever they are done; the plan your surgeon makes for you comes first.

Vaginoplasty and other feminizing genital surgery

Kamol's gender reassignment (SRS) page sets out its options. SRS I is a shallow-depth vaginoplasty that creates the external genitalia without a deep canal (on our site, vulvoplasty). SRS II lines the canal with penile skin (penile inversion vaginoplasty). Colon (sigmoid) vaginoplasty is offered by open and laparoscopic approaches. Separate pages cover peritoneal vaginoplasty (PPV) and revision vaginoplasty, and orchiectomy is listed among the male-to-female operations. Documented surgeons: Dr. Kamol Pansritum (vaginoplasty, peritoneal and revision vaginoplasty), Dr. Wichai Surawongsin (vaginoplasty), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Charnjiroj Thiptanakit (colon and peritoneal vaginoplasty), Dr. Kasidin Vitoopinyoparb (colon vaginoplasty) and Dr. Danai Meekaewkunchorn (open colon vaginoplasty, including some revision cases).

In general, vaginoplasty is a major operation. A hospital stay of 5–7 nights is common, the whole trip usually runs to three to four weeks, and dilation continues long term to maintain depth. WPATH's Standards of Care, Version 8, which many surgeons use, suggest at least six months of hormones before genital surgery unless that is clinically inappropriate or not wanted, and some surgeons still request one or two assessment letters. Permanent hair removal of the skin used to line the canal can take several months, so ask early whether it is needed. Colon vaginoplasty is usually reserved for particular situations, such as revision or limited skin. At Kamol, ask which technique the surgeon would recommend for your anatomy and why, what documents the hospital needs, and how dilation is taught. The hospital's recovery page says that after male-to-female genital surgery, specialist nurses carry out wound dressing and dilation twice a day during the K Garden recovery stay.

Facial feminization, voice and breast surgery for trans women

Kamol's FFS page covers feminizing rhinoplasty (reduction, augmentation or both) and chin and jaw feminization (jaw reduction or augmentation, and chin reduction or augmentation). Separate pages cover forehead contouring (forehead shaving), hairline lowering (scalp advancement), Adam's apple reduction, voice feminization and breast augmentation for trans women. Hip augmentation, linked on our site to body feminization, appears only in the pre-arrival form and has no service page of its own. Documented surgeons: Dr. Kamol Pansritum and Dr. Sanipreeya Yingtaweesit (facial feminization surgery), Dr. Sanipreeya (feminizing breast augmentation) and Dr. Tharatip Likkasittipan (voice feminization). The related guides are feminizing rhinoplasty, jaw and chin feminization, forehead contouring, hairline lowering and tracheal shave.

In general, FFS plans are individual, and a CT scan is often part of planning when bone on the brow, jaw or chin will be reshaped. International patients commonly stay 10–14 days, and longer after extensive combined surgery. WPATH SOC-8 does not set a required period of hormone therapy before facial surgery, although individual surgeons may have their own rules. Voice feminization surgery mainly raises pitch; resonance and speech patterns are worked on in voice therapy, which is usually advised before and after the operation, and patients should expect about a week of strict voice rest.

Top surgery, phalloplasty, metoidioplasty and other masculinizing surgery

Kamol's top surgery page lists double incision with free nipple grafts and two options with scars around the areola: periareolar (a U-shaped scar) and concentric (an O-shaped scar). Kamol's pages offer urethral lengthening with both phalloplasty and metoidioplasty. The metoidioplasty page describes full metoidioplasty, which extends the urethra to the tip of the phallus, and shaping the labia into a scrotum with optional testicular implants (scrotoplasty). Dedicated pages also cover hysterectomy for trans men, facial masculinization and voice masculinization. Documented surgeons: Dr. Akaradech Attainsee and Dr. Sanipreeya Yingtaweesit (top surgery), Dr. Kamol Pansritum and Dr. Akaradech (phalloplasty), Dr. Kamol (metoidioplasty), Dr. Ravis Tivitmahaisoon (urethral lengthening), Dr. Apichart Jaideecharoen and Dr. Pittaya Vapattanawong (hysterectomy and oophorectomy), Dr. Kamol and Dr. Sanipreeya (facial masculinization), and Dr. Tharatip Likkasittipan (voice masculinization).

In general, top surgery patients commonly stay 10–14 days so drains can be removed and nipple grafts checked before flying. Phalloplasty is normally staged, typically two or three operations spread across a year or longer, with three to four weeks in Thailand for the first stage. Not smoking is essential for the flap to survive, and problems with the lengthened urethra (leaks and narrowing) are its most frequent complications. Metoidioplasty needs no donor site and usually means two to three weeks in Thailand. The thigh (ALT) flap avoids a forearm scar, though the tissue is often thicker and sensation may be less; Dr. Akaradech's profile describes this approach, so ask Kamol which donor sites it would offer you.

Facial aesthetic surgery

Kamol's facial service pages cover rhinoplasty, with tip rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty among its techniques; alar base reduction; nose implants (Asian rhinoplasty); blepharoplasty including double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction and lower eyelid surgery; facelift, mini facelift, neck lift and facial fat grafting; brow lift; cheek implants and chin implants; chin reduction and genioplasty, including V-line surgery by T-osteotomy; jaw reduction and jaw implants; lip lift and surgical lip enhancement with acellular dermal matrix or fat; and otoplasty. Documented surgeons: Dr. Vipaphan Watson (rhinoplasty, facelift, brow lift, eyelid surgery), Dr. Sanipreeya Yingtaweesit (rhinoplasty, facelift, eyelid surgery) and Dr. Kamol Pansritum (rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery). In general, rhinoplasty patients commonly stay 7–10 days, until the splint is removed, and facelift patients 10–14 days. Decide before a rhinoplasty consultation whether your aim is to make the nose smaller or to build it up, because the techniques, materials and risks differ.

Breast surgery

Kamol lists breast augmentation with implants or fat transfer, breast lift, breast reduction, breast implant revision including capsular contracture treatment, and gynecomastia surgery. Breast augmentation is documented for Dr. Kamol Pansritum, Dr. Sanipreeya Yingtaweesit, Dr. Vipaphan Watson and Dr. Janjira Paengnoi. In general, patients commonly stay 7–10 days after augmentation. Implants are not lifetime devices, and some textured implant surfaces are linked to a rare lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), so ask which implant is proposed and why.

Body contouring

Kamol lists liposuction including VASER liposuction, VASER-assisted high-definition liposculpture and abdominal etching (which it calls six pack surgery), tummy tuck and mini tummy tuck, body lift, arm lift, thigh lift, buttock implants, Brazilian butt lift, post-weight-loss body contouring and mommy makeover. Documented surgeons: Dr. Janjira Paengnoi (liposuction, Brazilian butt lift, abdominal etching), and Dr. Kamol Pansritum and Dr. Sanipreeya Yingtaweesit (liposuction). In general, a Brazilian butt lift carries a rare but potentially fatal risk, fat embolism. Professional society guidance is to place fat only in the layer above the buttock muscle, so ask directly how the surgeon injects. Tummy tuck patients commonly stay 12–14 days, so drains can come out before a long flight.

Hair transplant and intimate surgery

Kamol also lists hair transplant by FUE, labiaplasty and vaginal tightening. A hair transplant is done under local anaesthesia, and patients commonly stay 3–5 days.

Where no surgeon is named above (for example hair transplant, tracheal shave, otoplasty or labiaplasty), Kamol offers the procedure but our research did not link it to a specific surgeon's profile. If you request one of these, ask Kamol which surgeon would operate, and read that surgeon's profile before you commit.

Joint Commission International (JCI). When we searched the JCI directory of accredited international organizations for 'Kamol' on 27 September 2026, it listed Kamol Cosmetic Hospital, Bangkok (IHCO ID 60003958), as accredited under JCI's Hospital Program, effective 7 November 2015. The directory showed no expiry date, so we do not give one, and the effective date should not be read as a renewal or expiry date. Kamol's own About page also states that the hospital is JCI accredited.

HA Thailand. Searches of the Healthcare Accreditation Institute's accreditation-status database on the same date, for 'Kamol' and for the Thai terms กมล and ศัลยกรรมตกแต่ง, found no entry for Kamol. This profile therefore shows no HA Thailand accreditation.

How to read the JCI listing. A JCI decision reflects an assessment of the hospital's systems for quality and patient safety as a whole. It does not measure how any particular Kamol surgeon performs, and no accreditation can promise how your own operation turns out: the surgeon, the technique, your health and your aftercare all play a part. Because directory entries change, search the JCI directory for 'Kamol' again shortly before you travel.

What Kamol Cosmetic Hospital says it provides. The following comes from the hospital's contact page and its 'Kamol Trip' pages (pre-arrival, treatment, recovery and departure):

• Secure online video consultations with its surgeons for patients who cannot travel yet.
• A personal representative assigned to coordinate each consultation request, and an international phone line for enquiries and urgent questions.
• A team that speaks English and Thai, with interpretation for other languages on request.
• Help with hotel bookings and airport transfers, and a limousine to the airport when you leave.
• According to the pre-arrival page, the hospital can extend a medical treatment visa. Visa rules depend on your nationality, so confirm what applies to you with the hospital and a Thai embassy or consulate before you book flights.
• On discharge from the ward, a move to K Garden, the hospital's serviced apartments close to the hospital. The hospital says wound dressing, stitch removal and surgeon follow-up take place there, and that after male-to-female genital surgery specialist nurses carry out wound dressing and dilation twice a day.
• Medical residence apartments on the hospital's 7th floor for recovery stays.
• Payment in cash (THB, EUR, USD, AUD, GBP or CAD), by credit or debit card, or by bank transfer.

Confirm each of these for your own trip, including which of them your written quote covers and which are charged separately. This profile does not quote prices, so ask the hospital for an itemised written quote.

What the ThaiCosmeticSurgery.com patient team does. We are a booking platform, separate from the hospital. We take your request (a video consultation, a consultation at the hospital, or proposed surgery dates) for Kamol Cosmetic Hospital or a named Kamol surgeon, pass it to the hospital, and confirm the slot with you once Kamol has agreed it. After confirmation we send a secure link for photos and medical reports. Booking through us is free, and any fees are agreed directly between you and the hospital in a written quote. Kamol and its surgeons set the treatment plan and the price, and no operation is scheduled for certain until a surgeon has examined you.

In general, plan your time in Thailand around your operation rather than around a fixed holiday: three to four weeks is common after vaginoplasty and after the first stage of phalloplasty, 10–14 days after FFS or top surgery, while a rhinoplasty or breast augmentation usually needs 7–10 days. The decision on when you can fly home rests with your surgeon.

Address: 1223 Lat Phrao 94, Inthraphon Rd., Wang Thonglang, Bangkok 10310, as published on the hospital's contact page.

Thai name for drivers: โรงพยาบาลศัลยกรรมตกแต่งกมล. Showing the Thai name, or the map pin linked from Kamol's contact page (about 13.7732° N, 100.6120° E), is usually easier than reading out an address on a numbered lane.

The official pages we reviewed do not describe public transport routes to the hospital or give travel times from Bangkok's airports, so we do not either. Kamol says it helps with airport transfers and hotel bookings; when you request a consultation, ask how your arrival and your trips between accommodation and the hospital will be arranged. According to the hospital's treatment page, patients move from the ward to the K Garden serviced apartments, which it describes as close to the hospital, and follow-up care such as dressings and stitch removal takes place there.

If you are comparing Kamol with other providers in the city, our Bangkok guide lists the hospitals and surgeons we cover there.

You can request a consultation or surgery dates at Kamol Cosmetic Hospital through our patient team. The request is free and creates no obligation.

• Start the request. Use the Kamol Cosmetic Hospital booking form. If you already know who you want to see, start from that surgeon instead, for example request a consultation with Dr. Kamol Pansritum, with Dr. Sanipreeya Yingtaweesit or with Dr. Akaradech Attainsee. Every surgeon profile linked above has its own request button.
• Choose the type. An online consultation is a video call before you travel; an in-person consultation takes place at the hospital in Bangkok; a surgery request proposes operation dates, which stay provisional until a Kamol surgeon has examined you.
• Tell us what you are considering and give your preferred dates, or say you are flexible. The optional health questions (smoking or vaping, current medication, medical conditions, previous surgery) help the hospital respond.
• Confirmation. Our patient team contacts Kamol and comes back to you, usually within one working day. The slot is fixed only when Kamol has agreed it.
• Documents. Once your booking is confirmed, you receive a secure upload link for photos and medical reports. Please do not send medical documents by ordinary email.

Not sure which Kamol surgeon suits your procedure? Request a consultation with the hospital rather than a named surgeon and describe what you want. The hospital can then direct you, and the procedures section above shows which surgeons' profiles document each operation. If you would rather talk first, our patient team answers on WhatsApp and by email, with the contact details shown on the booking page.

In general, a remote review gives an outline plan, and the surgeon confirms it after examining you in person. Having the right information ready makes an online consultation more useful and avoids delays once you arrive. Send documents only through the secure link you receive after your booking is confirmed.

For every procedure

• Your full name as in your passport, date of birth, country of residence and preferred dates.
• Current medication and supplements, allergies, medical conditions and previous operations (operation notes help, if you kept them).
• Whether you smoke or vape. Smoking raises healing risks and matters especially before flap surgery, facelift and tummy tuck.

For vaginoplasty, phalloplasty or metoidioplasty

• Your hormone history: what you take, since when and who prescribes it.
• Copies of the assessment or referral letters you hold now. Ask Kamol how many letters it requires and from whom.
• How far you have got with hair removal on the relevant skin, where the surgeon requires it.
• For revision vaginoplasty: when and where the first operation was done, the technique if you know it, and the problem you want addressed.
• For phalloplasty: which donor site you are considering, and whether you have already had a hysterectomy.

For facial surgery (FFS, facial masculinization, rhinoplasty, facelift, eyelid, chin or jaw work)

• Clear photos in neutral light, without make-up or filters: facing the camera, in profile from each side and at a half-turn each way, plus a view from below for nose surgery.
• Details of any previous facial surgery, fillers or implants, and any CT scans you already have.

For voice surgery

• Whether you have had voice therapy, and a short voice recording if the surgeon asks for one.

For top surgery and breast surgery

• Front and side chest photos, with your height and weight.
• For implant revision or capsular contracture: your implant card or implant details and the date of the first operation.

For body contouring

• Your height and weight, whether your weight has been stable, photos of the areas you want treated, and any history of blood clots.

Send photos of intimate areas only if the surgeon asks for them, and only through the secure upload link.
