Vejthani Hospital

Vejthani International Hospital (also written Vejthani Hospital; Thai name โรงพยาบาลเวชธานี อินเตอร์เนชันแนล) is a private hospital in Bangkok. Per the hospital's own About page it opened in 1994, and its fact sheet lists 263 beds, while the About page speaks of more than 200 inpatient beds. Because the two pages differ, we describe it as a mid-sized private hospital rather than quoting a single bed figure as settled.

For cosmetic and plastic surgery patients, the part of the hospital that matters most is the Plastic Surgery Center, which the hospital places on the 11th floor. The fact sheet also documents intensive care units for adults and for children, plus a renal dialysis unit. None of these are cosmetic services, yet they indicate what back-up exists behind the surgical floors. Operating-room and ICU bed numbers are not recorded.

On this page we separate three things: what Vejthani Hospital itself states about its services, what is documented about the individual surgeons listed there, and what our patient team does when you ask us to pass on a request. Everything provider-specific comes from the hospital's official pages, checked on 2 October 2026. Anything we could not confirm is described as not publicly documented rather than guessed. You can read how we work in our provider research methodology.

If you already know what you want, you can request a consultation at Vejthani Hospital. A place is held only once the hospital agrees.

The hospital's Plastic Surgery Center page states that the centre is open every day, Monday to Sunday, from 08.00 to 20.00, and gives an appointment and enquiry line, +66 2-734-0000 extension 1197. The same page says its plastic surgeons hold Medical Council of Thailand and American Board certification. It does not say which surgeon holds which certification, so we do not attach a certification to any named surgeon from that sentence. Individual qualifications on this page come only from each surgeon's own profile, and several of those profiles record Thai board certification.

Beyond the plastic surgery team, the hospital's doctor directory also lists a facial plastic surgeon trained in ENT (ear, nose and throat) and an oculoplastic surgeon trained in ophthalmology. That matters because facial procedures such as nose surgery and eyelid surgery are sometimes performed by surgeons from these neighbouring specialties as well as by plastic surgeons. Which type of specialist suits you depends on what you want changed and on your own anatomy, and it is a fair question to raise at the first consultation.

The documented service areas fall into three groups:

• Face and neck: brow lift, facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), rhinoplasty, alar (nostril) reduction, lip augmentation and ear pinning (otoplasty).
• Breast: breast augmentation, breast reduction and breast lift.
• Body contouring: liposuction.

Gender-affirming surgery is not on that list. Our research files record gender-affirming work for some of the surgeons named below, but the Plastic Surgery Center page as we recorded it does not present it as a centre service, so ask the hospital directly how such cases are handled before assuming a programme exists.

This is the list the hospital publishes. It is not a complete record of what each surgeon operates on, and it does not mean every procedure is suitable for every patient.

Our research file records nine surgeons whose names appear on the hospital's official pages and who fit our specialty rule (plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery or oculoplastic surgery). Their documented details are summarised below, and each name leads to a fuller profile where one exists. This is a listing of what is documented, not a ranking.

Plastic surgeons

• Dr. Chanikarn Wongraveekul: listed by Vejthani under plastic surgery. She trained as a doctor at Rangsit University in 2016 and completed plastic and reconstructive surgery board certification at Chulalongkorn University in 2024. Procedures recorded on her hospital profile include upper and lower eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, facelift, neck lift, breast augmentation and top surgery. Languages: English and Thai.
• Dr. Phatwira Pattarajierapan: plastic surgeon. M.D. from Prince of Songkla University (2003), then board certification in plastic and reconstructive surgery through Chulalongkorn University (2017). Her profile names upper and lower blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, chin augmentation, liposuction, tummy tuck and belt lipectomy, and other pages we reviewed describe gender-affirming genital surgery. Her Vejthani profile claims membership of two Thai surgical societies and the national surgical royal college.
• Dr. Rapeepat Supruangthong: plastic surgeon who graduated in medicine from Phramongkutklao College of Medicine in 2013, residency training in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the same military teaching hospital from 2016 to 2021, followed by the Thai Board of Plastic Surgery diploma. Listed procedures: breast augmentation, lipofilling and liposuction, blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty. Our files show he also holds a monthly clinic at another hospital, so confirm his Vejthani schedule when requesting a slot.
• Asst. Prof. Dr. Sarut Chaisrisawadisuk: plastic surgeon and academic. M.D. from Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University (2009), Thai Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (2017), and clinical fellowships in facial feminization in Marbella, Spain (2019) and craniomaxillofacial surgery in Adelaide, Australia (2021). His recorded focus is facial feminization, V-line surgery and jaw contouring, largely from pages of other hospitals. He holds posts elsewhere, so ask which of his sessions take place at Vejthani.
• Dr. Sineenard Thanapurirat: shown under Plastic Surgery in the hospital directory. Her only documented training is an M.D. from Phramongkutklao (2012) and a board certificate in plastic surgery from Phramongkutklao Hospital (2020). No procedure list is published, so ask her team what she performs.
• Dr. Siwat Serirodom: plastic surgeon with an M.D. from Chulalongkorn University (2007), a plastic surgery diploma (2015) and board certification in plastic and reconstructive surgery (2021). The procedures on his profile are largely reconstructive, and we have no cosmetic procedure list for him.
• Dr. Patcharasak Chutipunyaporn: named under Plastic Surgery on the Plastic Surgery Center page. We hold no training, language or procedure details for him, so there is no profile page for this surgeon yet.

Facial plastic (ENT) surgeon

• Dr. Kanit Temtrirath: an ENT surgeon who subspecialised in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, awarded his medical degree (2011) and Thai board in otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery (2018), and he finished his facial plastic fellowship there in 2022. The procedure recorded for him is functional rhinoplasty, meaning surgery with the airway in mind.

Oculoplastic (ophthalmology) surgeon

• Dr. Khanchai Juangphanich: an ophthalmologist whose focus is orbital and eyelid reconstructive surgery. Phramongkutklao College of Medicine (M.D. 1978), ophthalmology board diploma (1990) and a US certificate in orbit and ophthalmic plastic surgery (1993). His profile lists blepharoplasty, ptosis surgery and entropion and ectropion surgery.

Our Vejthani Hospital page may show more names than those above. The extra names belong to doctors whose official specialty labels (anti-aging medicine, oral and maxillofacial surgery, hair transplantation) sit outside the scope used here, or whose profile page could not be confirmed. We do not describe them in this section.

The hospital's Plastic Surgery Center page names twelve procedures. The paragraphs below give general guidance consistent with our procedure pages. They say nothing about any Vejthani surgeon's technique, outcomes or pricing, none of which the hospital publishes in the material we read.

Rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose and in many cases can improve breathing at the same time. Our procedure page notes that general anaesthesia is the usual choice and that visitors from abroad commonly plan 7–10 days, with the hospital part lasting from a single day up to one night. Rhinoplasty appears on the profiles of Dr. Chanikarn Wongraveekul and Dr. Rapeepat Supruangthong, and Dr. Kanit Temtrirath lists the functional version from his ENT background. If breathing is part of your concern, say so in your request so the right surgeon is matched. Alar reduction is a separate item on the hospital's list.

Eyelid surgery. Blepharoplasty is recorded for Dr. Chanikarn Wongraveekul, Dr. Rapeepat Supruangthong, Dr. Phatwira Pattarajierapan and Dr. Khanchai Juangphanich. A drooping upper lid (ptosis) can come from the lid muscle rather than from loose skin, and ptosis surgery is named for the oculoplastic surgeon and for Dr. Phatwira. At the consultation, ask whether the cause in your case is skin, fat, muscle or a mix.

Facelift, neck lift and brow lift. Facelift, neck lift and brow lift are all on the hospital's list. Among the profiles we hold, only Dr. Chanikarn Wongraveekul names facelift and neck lift. Whoever you see, ask which technique is proposed, where the scars would lie and how long you should plan to remain within reach of the hospital afterwards.

Breast surgery. Breast augmentation changes breast volume or contour, typically by placing implants and occasionally by transferring the patient's own fat. Per our procedure page, general anaesthesia is the norm and visitors from abroad generally allow roughly a week to ten days. The hospital also lists breast reduction and breast lift. Augmentation is recorded for Dr. Chanikarn Wongraveekul and Dr. Rapeepat Supruangthong. Good questions to ask: which implant type and pocket are planned, how a revision or implant removal would be dealt with, and what review is available once you are back home.

Liposuction. Liposuction removes localised fat deposits using a narrow suction tube inserted via short incisions. It refines body shape; it is not intended to reduce overall weight. Depending on the extent of treatment it may be carried out under general anaesthesia or under local anaesthesia with sedation, and visitors often plan 7–10 days in Thailand (see the procedure page). It is recorded for Dr. Rapeepat Supruangthong and Dr. Phatwira Pattarajierapan, who also names tummy tuck and belt lipectomy.

Lip augmentation and ear pinning. Lip augmentation and otoplasty are on the hospital's list too. None of the surgeon profiles we hold names either one, so ask which surgeon performs them.

Gender-affirming surgery. Our files record gender-affirming work for Dr. Sarut Chaisrisawadisuk (facial feminization along with V-line and jaw work, found chiefly on other hospitals' pages), Dr. Chanikarn Wongraveekul (top surgery, which appears on her Vejthani profile) and Dr. Phatwira Pattarajierapan (genital surgery, described on other pages). Our gender-affirming surgery section gives general information. Because some of these surgeons also work elsewhere, get written confirmation of where, and by whom, a given operation would be done.

The hospital's own Accreditations and Awards page lists Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation for the period 2025 to 2028. We read that page when we checked on 2 October 2026. This entry rests on the hospital's current statement; the JCI public directory shows the accreditation status. We also have no exact expiry date.

A JCI survey examines hospital-wide systems, including infection prevention and patient safety routines, as they were on the day assessors visited. It does not promise the result of any operation, and it does not rate an individual surgeon's skill. For the surgeon, the checks that count are Medical Council of Thailand registration and the training shown on their profile. The register is public, and we suggest looking up your surgeon's licence before you travel.

What the hospital states it provides. The hospital's Referral and Aviation Division is described as handling visa extensions, travel and hotel reservations, plus a V-Flight service, for patients and anyone accompanying them. Its About page also mentions a translator team covering more than 20 languages. The page we read does not name those languages, so check that yours is included before relying on it. The surgeons on our list state English and Thai.

What our patient team does. We are not the hospital. Our team forwards your enquiry to Vejthani, chases the reply and tells you in advance what the surgeon will probably ask to see. Using us costs nothing. Vejthani alone confirms a booking and sets its own deposit and payment terms.

What we cannot tell you. Prices, package contents, airport transfer arrangements and aftercare policies are not published in the material we read, so we leave them out. Ask for them in writing.

Vejthani International Hospital is in Bangkok. We print neither an address nor coordinates here; ask our patient team for the hospital's address. Confirm the location on the hospital's official website, vejthani.com, or through the map link on our hospital page, before you book transport.

For wider trip planning, see our Bangkok city guide. Plastic surgery consultations are booked through the centre on level 11, whose published hours run daily from 08.00 to 20.00; that may help if your flight times are awkward. Check whether your particular surgeon sees patients during those hours, because individual clinics may run only on certain days.

The route is short. Start with the request form for Vejthani Hospital, or a surgeon-specific form such as Dr. Rapeepat Supruangthong if you already have a preference, giving the procedure and the dates you could travel. We then ask Vejthani which surgeon fits your case and what information is required, and report back with the options. If you decide to go ahead, the hospital has the final word, so a place is held only when it confirms.

You may request a video or online consultation first, an appointment once you have landed in Bangkok, or a written treatment plan for a procedure you have in mind. We check whether the surgeon offers a remote option. If you prefer to deal directly, the Plastic Surgery Center's own line is +66 2-734-0000 extension 1197.

A thorough first message saves days. Coordinators commonly request the following, and we will say if Vejthani asks for anything further:

• The procedure or concern in plain words, and which area bothers you.
• Current photographs in daylight, taken from the angles the surgeon asks for. For nose or eyelid questions this is usually front and side views; for breast or body questions, views of the area, sent only through the secure channel we give you.
• Your height and weight, age and any previous surgery to the same area, including implants.
• Medical history: conditions, regular medicines, allergies, smoking and whether you take blood thinners.
• Which dates you could travel and the longest stay you can manage; the surgeon decides the real follow-up schedule, so be upfront about your limits.
• Your preferred language and whether a companion will travel with you.
