Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital

Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital, usually shortened to SiPH, sits in Bangkok Noi, a district of Bangkok, Thailand (Thai name: โรงพยาบาลศิริราช ปิยมหาราชการุณย์). We classify it as a public hospital. On its own website it presents itself as Thailand's first public hospital to hold JCI accreditation. The official address is 2 Wanglang Road, Bangkoknoi, Bangkok 10700.

For anyone weighing cosmetic, plastic or reconstructive surgery, the department to know is the Skin and Plastic Surgery Center, which the hospital locates on the 3rd floor, Zone A. Its page describes consultation, diagnosis and treatment by specialist dermatologists and plastic surgeons. The hospital's home page also names an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Center, an Eye Center, a Surgery Center and a Dental Center, and surgeons from several of these departments appear in the directory we have compiled.

Everything here comes from pages we read on the hospital's own website (checked on 2 October 2026) and from our research on the individual surgeons. Some details a patient might reasonably expect, such as the number of beds or operating theatres and the year the hospital opened, were not on the pages we could read, so we leave them out instead of estimating. Our approach to sourcing is explained on the research methodology page.

A sensible way to use this page: look through the services and surgeons sections to see which department matches your goal, read the accreditation section for exactly what the hospital states, and then request a consultation through our patient team. The service is free of charge, and it is the hospital that decides whether and when you are seen.

According to the hospital's own description of its Skin and Plastic Surgery Center, the plastic surgery side covers:

• eyelid surgery and nasal surgery
• craniofacial and jaw surgery
• reconstructive surgery, including breast reconstruction
• facial palsy surgery
• scar revision
• wound care and burn management
• hand surgery
• lymphedema surgery
• paediatric plastic surgery

This is the profile of a broad plastic and reconstructive service rather than a purely cosmetic one. In general, a department that regularly deals with burns, wounds, hand problems and facial palsy has deep reconstructive experience, and patients often value that when a cosmetic wish overlaps with a functional problem, for instance a drooping eyelid that narrows the field of vision, or a nose that is a matter of both appearance and breathing. Equally, the centre page describes what the department treats; it does not publish case volumes, outcomes or prices, and we do not supply any.

Beyond the plastic surgery list, the hospital's home page names an ENT Center and an Eye Center. Our directory includes one facial plastic surgeon connected with the ENT Center and three oculoplastic surgeons (ophthalmologists who focus on the eyelids and surrounding eye structures) from the Eye Center. If your question concerns the eyelids, the orbit or the nose, more than one department may be relevant. Describe your goal in your request and the hospital can direct it to the right clinic.

Hours and contact as published. The centre page states that it opens at 08:00 every day, closing at 20:00 from Sunday to Friday and at 19:00 on Saturday, with bookings taken by the hospital telephone line 1474 (option 1). Opening arrangements can change, so confirm them when your request is answered.

What this page does not claim. The centre page does not say that the hospital offers breast augmentation, liposuction, facelifts or abdominoplasty as departmental services. A few individual surgeons have such procedures listed on their own professional profiles. Those are surgeon-level facts, described in the surgeons section below, and are not presented as a hospital-wide menu.

We list 17 surgeons whose practice at SiPH is documented on the hospital's own pages. The official plastic surgery directory names 12 doctors; the other five come from the Eye Center, the ENT Center and the Surgery Center (head, neck and breast), each checked against their SiPH profile page. Several of these surgeons also work at other hospitals. Titles follow the hospital's published wording. This is a directory, not a ranking.

Plastic surgery directory

• Clin. Prof. Apirag Chuangsuwanich: listed under plastic surgery within the Surgery Center.
• Assoc. Prof. Chongdee Aojanepong: listed under plastic surgery.
• Assoc. Prof. Nutcha Yodrabum: listed under plastic surgery.
• Asst. Prof. Nutthawut Akaranuchat: plastic surgeon attached to the Skin and Plastic Surgery Center. Breast lift, breast reduction and breast augmentation are the procedure areas documented for him.
• Asst. Prof. Dr. Sorawuth Chu-Ongsakul: a plastic surgeon on the Skin and Plastic Surgery Center roster who also appears on the Siriraj medical faculty list for its division of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Documented procedure areas span the face (facelift, neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, otoplasty), the chest (breast augmentation, lift, reduction, gynecomastia surgery) and the trunk (tummy tuck, liposuction).
• Assist. Prof. Sitthichoke Taweepraditpol: listed under plastic surgery.
• Asst. Prof. Dr. Sarut Chaisrisawadisuk: plastic surgeon listed within the Surgery Center. Documented procedure areas are jaw contouring, V-line surgery and facial feminization.
• Assist. Prof. Warangkana Tonaree: listed under plastic surgery.
• Lecturer Piyawat Matrakool, Lecturer Peerasak Chortrakarnkij and Lecturer Sirichai Kamnerdnakta: each listed under plastic surgery.
• Dr. Kongsawate Khaogate: listed under plastic surgery.

Oculoplastic surgery (Eye Center)

• Assoc. Prof. Kanograt Pornpanich: ophthalmologist in oculoplastic and orbital surgery, with ptosis correction and double eyelid surgery documented for her.
• Assist. Prof. Pimkwan Jaru-ampornpan: ophthalmologist in oculoplastic and orbital surgery.
• Assoc. Prof. Sumalee Vangveeravong: ophthalmologist in oculoplastic and orbital surgery.

Facial plastic surgery (ENT Center)

• Dr. Panutas Piyananthasomdee: the hospital lists him under general otolaryngology in the ENT Center; our directory files him under facial plastic surgery (ENT).

Head, neck and breast surgery (Surgery Center)

• Dr. Visnu Lohsiriwat: the hospital places him in the Surgery Center's head, neck and breast group, not in its plastic surgery list. Documented procedure areas include top surgery, fat transfer to the breast, breast implant removal and revision, augmentation, lift and reduction of the breast, plus liposuction, several forms of tummy tuck and body lift.

Two practical notes. Titles vary across the list (Clin. Prof., Assoc. Prof., Assist. Prof., Lecturer, M.D.); they reflect academic rank and say nothing about how well a surgeon suits your particular operation. And some surgeons have outpatient clinic days on their SiPH profiles, which the hospital marks as subject to change. If you hope to see a particular surgeon, name them in your message and we will ask the hospital if a visit with that surgeon can be arranged. Each name above links to our own page for that surgeon, where the research behind the facts is set out.

We connect a hospital to a procedure only when its own pages name that procedure. On that basis, the Skin and Plastic Surgery Center page names four procedure areas that match our procedure guides:

• Ptosis correction (a drooping upper eyelid)
• Double eyelid surgery
• Lower eyelid surgery (the page mentions lower eyelid bags)
• Genioplasty (chin surgery)

The page also mentions jaw, forehead and cheek surgery in general terms. We have not tied these to specific contouring or augmentation procedures, because the page does not say which operations they include.

The notes below are general guidance for preparing a consultation. They are not a description of how any SiPH surgeon operates, and suitability for any of these procedures always needs an in-person assessment.

Ptosis correction and double eyelid surgery. In general, ptosis correction aims to lift a drooping upper eyelid, and the first question is what is causing the droop: the muscle that raises the lid, loose skin, or something else. That is why a functional examination comes before any plan. Double eyelid surgery aims to create or define an upper eyelid crease. Patients commonly ask how high the crease will sit, whether it will look natural on their own face, and how long swelling lasts. Our double eyelid page shows a time in Thailand of 5–7 days; treat that as a planning figure only, because your surgeon decides the timetable. The Eye Center lists three oculoplastic surgeons, and Assoc. Prof. Kanograt Pornpanich has both procedures documented, so this is the area where the hospital's documentation is most specific. See her profile.

Lower eyelid surgery. Patients usually mention puffiness or bags under the eyes. In general, the surgeon assesses the skin, the fat pads and how well the lower lid is supported, and asks about dry eyes and any earlier eye surgery. A thorough consultation should also explain what the operation cannot change, such as dark pigmentation under the eyes.

Genioplasty. Genioplasty usually means repositioning or reshaping the chin bone; adding volume with an implant is a related but different approach, and which one fits depends on the surgeon's assessment of your face. Patients commonly ask where the scar will be, whether the lip and chin may feel numb, and how the result will look in profile as well as from the front.

Procedures documented for individual surgeons. Some SiPH surgeons have further procedures on their own professional profiles: rhinoplasty, facelift, neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplasty, otoplasty and several breast and body operations for Sorawuth Chu-Ongsakul and Visnu Lohsiriwat, and facial feminization, V-line surgery and jaw contouring for Sarut Chaisrisawadisuk. Our pages on facial feminization and jaw contouring list the surgeons we have documented. Whether such an operation would take place at SiPH, or at another hospital where the same surgeon works, is worth asking in your consultation request.

Hospital level versus surgeon level. This difference is the main thing to take from this section. The hospital's centre page documents four procedures at facility level; the wider list comes from individual surgeons and may be tied to more than one hospital.

The hospital's accreditation page presents Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. By that page, the fourth accreditation cycle covers 18 November 2023 through 17 November 2026. The hospital also describes itself as Thailand's first public hospital with JCI accreditation.

Two cautions on how to read this:

• Where the information comes from. The hospital's own statement; the JCI directory shows current status. The status above therefore rests on the hospital's own published statement, not on the accreditor's database. We will revisit this section when the directory can be consulted.
• The end date matters. The stated period finishes on 17 November 2026. If your treatment would fall after that date, ask the hospital to confirm its current accreditation status when it replies to your request.

Accreditation is an outside body's assessment of how a hospital organises its systems and processes. It cannot forecast the result of one particular operation, and by itself it says nothing about whether a given procedure suits you. Other accreditations, such as Thai national hospital accreditation, were not found in our research, so we make no statement about them.

What the hospital publishes. On the official pages we could read, we found no international patient desk, interpreter service, list of languages spoken, or airport transfer and accommodation arrangements. That does not prove they are absent; it only means we could not confirm them, so we do not list them. Anyone who needs one of these should raise it with the hospital before travelling.

What our patient team does. ThaiCosmeticSurgery.com is a booking platform and is separate from the hospital. When you request a consultation, our team reads your message, forwards your goals and background, follows up on whether a named surgeon is available, and passes the hospital's answer back to you. We can also help you think through the logistics of a Bangkok trip, but we are not the hospital, we do not make medical decisions and we do not promise outcomes.

General points for overseas patients. Expect an in-person assessment before any surgery. Be ready to share your medical history, medications, allergies and earlier operations. Allow time in Bangkok for a follow-up check before flying home. Eyelid and chin procedures commonly cause visible swelling or bruising for a while, and many patients prefer that to settle before a long flight or a return to work. Your surgeon is the right person to set the timing.

The official address is 2 Wanglang Road, Bangkoknoi, Bangkok 10700, Thailand. Bangkok Noi is on the western, Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya River. Inside the building, look for the plastic surgery centre on the 3rd floor, Zone A.

The hospital pages we could read gave no map coordinates or transport directions, so we publish none. For planning, the hospital's contact page and a map search for the address above are the dependable sources for a route, and taxis or ride-hailing apps can take the address as written. Our page on cosmetic and plastic surgery in Bangkok covers staying in the city more broadly.

Because the hospital houses several departments, it helps to note the centre name and floor before you arrive.

Use the consultation request form on ThaiCosmeticSurgery.com. It costs nothing, and the steps are:

1. Describe what you have in mind and name any surgeon you would like to see.
2. Our patient team forwards the request and asks the hospital about availability.
3. Nothing is booked until the hospital confirms; we then pass the confirmed details on to you.

If you would rather contact the hospital yourself, its Skin and Plastic Surgery Center page gives telephone 1474, option 1, for appointments. To ask for one surgeon in particular, you can also request a consultation with Dr. Sorawuth Chu-Ongsakul as an example, swapping in the surgeon you prefer from the list above.

We cannot promise an instant booking. This page gives no prices because the hospital pages we read do not publish them; when you reach the quoting stage, request an itemised written estimate so you can see exactly what it covers.

Before you write to us, it helps to gather the following:

• Your goal in your own words. Which procedure you are considering and what bothers you now.
• Medical background. Conditions, medications (including blood thinners), allergies, smoking and earlier operations near the area.
• Photos. For eyelid questions, clear, evenly lit front-facing photos with eyes open and gaze level, a close view of each eye, and, if you can, one looking up and one looking down. For chin or jaw questions, front and side profile photos with a relaxed expression. For nasal questions, front, side and base views.
• Eye history, for eyelid surgery. Dry eyes, contact lens use, earlier eye surgery or injections, and your glasses prescription if you have it.
• Functional symptoms. For example, whether a drooping lid blocks part of your vision, or whether your nasal breathing is affected.
• Travel window. When you could be in Bangkok and for how long.

Photos support an initial opinion only. The surgeon will normally want to examine you in person before recommending anything, and may advise against surgery or suggest a different approach.
