Yanhee International Hospital

Yanhee International Hospital (Thai: โรงพยาบาลยันฮี; usually shortened to Yanhee Hospital or simply Yanhee) is a private hospital on Charansanitwong Road in Bang Phlat district, Bangkok. Alongside general medical, dental, eye, ear-nose-and-throat and wellness services, it runs a Cosmetic Services centre for facial, breast and body surgery, the Yanhee Pride Center for male-to-female (MTF) and female-to-male (FTM) gender-affirming surgery, and dedicated centres for hair transplantation, voice change surgery and the correction of cosmetic surgery done elsewhere.

A few verified facts frame what kind of place this is:

• Size: the hospital's About Us page gives 400 beds and describes 37 specialised treatment centres grouped into four service areas.
• History: Yanhee dates its start to 1984, when, according to the same page, its founders opened an outpatient clinic called the Yanhee Polyclinic. The website does not say when the inpatient hospital itself opened.
• Plastic surgery team: the hospital states that its team includes 18 board-certified plastic surgeons working in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, all members of the Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand (ThPRS). Its English 'Find a Doctor' directory lists 18 plastic surgeons, which matches that statement.
• Accreditation: Joint Commission International (JCI) lists 'Yanhee Hospital' in Bangkok as accredited under its Hospital Program. The dates, and the status of the Thai HA accreditation, are set out in the accreditation section below.
• Inpatient care: the hospital's inpatient rooms page shows room categories including Deluxe, Deluxe Plus and ICU single rooms, and its facial feminization page notes an intensive care unit on site. Yanhee does not publish how many operating theatres it has.

For a patient comparing options, the practical point is that cosmetic and gender-affirming operations at Yanhee take place inside a hospital that also provides general medical care, with its own wards and intensive care, rather than in a stand-alone clinic. That does not make any operation risk-free, and it does not tell you which surgeon suits your case. Further down you will find the surgeons Yanhee names for each area, the procedures its own pages document, the support it describes for travelling patients, and the steps for asking our patient team to arrange a consultation.

This profile was compiled from Yanhee's official English and Thai pages and from the JCI and HA Thailand accreditation databases, checked in September 2026. The checks we run, and our rule of omitting anything we could not confirm rather than estimating it, are described on our provider research methodology page.

Yanhee organises its surgical aesthetics work into several named centres. Knowing which one handles your procedure helps when you ask for a consultation, because each centre lists its own doctors.

Cosmetic Services (ศูนย์ศัลยกรรมตกแต่ง). This is the hospital's plastic surgery centre. It covers facial surgery (nose, eyelids, facelift, chin, jaw and cheeks), breast surgery and body contouring. Yanhee's Thai doctor directory places all 18 of the hospital's plastic surgeons under this centre.

Yanhee Pride Center (ศูนย์ข้ามเพศ). The Pride Center handles MTF and FTM gender-affirming surgery. Besides the operations themselves, the centre lists psychiatric consultations, hormone therapy, surgical planning and post-operative care among its services, and it states that it has more than 20 years of experience in gender-affirming surgery. Its published team combines plastic surgeons with an ear, nose and throat specialist for voice surgery and a gynecologist for hysterectomy; the page also names a gynecologist for hormone management.

Centres listed on Yanhee's Thai-language site. The Thai doctor directory shows further centres that matter to cosmetic patients. The English names below are our plain translations of the Thai titles:

• a Hair Transplant Center (ศูนย์ปลูกผม);
• a Voice Change Center (ศูนย์เปลี่ยนเสียง);
• a Breast Surgery Center (ศูนย์เสริมสร้างเต้านม);
• a centre for correcting unsatisfactory cosmetic surgery performed elsewhere (ศูนย์แก้ไขศัลยกรรมตกแต่งที่ไม่พึงพอใจจากที่อื่น), which lists many of the same plastic surgeons;
• a cosmetic gynecology centre (ศูนย์จุดซ่อนเร้น), called Cosmetic Gynecology on the English site;
• a Jaw Surgery Center (ศูนย์ศัลยกรรมขากรรไกร), which sits in the hospital's dental group and lists a dental surgeon. Cosmetic jaw-angle reduction and chin surgery are also offered through the plastic surgery team.

Related departments. Yanhee also lists Skin Treatments, a Vein Center, Minimally Invasive Surgery, Specialized Surgery, an ENT Center and Ophthalmology. These are not cosmetic surgery centres, but because they belong to the same hospital, a question about your eyes, voice, skin or veins can be seen by a specialist outside the plastic surgery team without changing facility.

How the hospital prices surgery. Yanhee states that, for most cosmetic procedures, its package prices usually include the doctor's fee, medicines, room, nursing care, food, operating room and other fees. We do not publish Yanhee's prices on this profile. If you receive a quote, get the inclusions confirmed in writing: whether an unplanned extra night or further treatment would be charged separately, and how follow-up is handled once you are back home.

Below are the surgeons we found on Yanhee's official English and Thai pages, grouped by the procedure areas those pages document for each of them. Names are spelled as Yanhee publishes them. The order within each group is not a ranking, and a surgeon listed here may also operate at other hospitals. Each linked profile shows that surgeon's verified training, society memberships and documented procedures.

Gender-affirming surgery (Yanhee Pride Center team)

• Dr. Worapon Ratanalert, plastic surgeon: listed by the Pride Center for MTF genital surgery. Yanhee's pages describe two techniques associated with him, a non-penile inversion vaginoplasty and a full-length peritoneal flap vaginoplasty that Yanhee presents as giving a skin-free, hairless lining. He has published on both in *Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery* and *PRS Global Open*. His Yanhee profile also lists FTM mastectomy, Adam's apple shaving, Asian rhinoplasty and Asian blepharoplasty.
• Dr. Sukit Warathamrong (written Worathamrong on some Yanhee pages), plastic surgeon: listed by the Pride Center for FTM surgery. Yanhee's FTM page names him for the later stages: vaginectomy with urethral lengthening and forearm urethral prefabrication, then total phalloplasty with scrotal reconstruction.

If you are not sure whom to ask for, name the procedure in your request and our patient team will ask Yanhee which of these surgeons handle it and who is available on your dates.

The procedures below are the ones an official Yanhee page (a service page, the Pride Center pages or the hospital's plastic surgery price list) says the hospital offers. Each link opens our general guide to that procedure. The guides explain what the operation involves, typical recovery and the main risks; they are not specific to Yanhee.

Nose. Rhinoplasty, tip rhinoplasty, alar base reduction, augmentation or Asian rhinoplasty, and revision rhinoplasty. Yanhee's nose implant page lists silicone, Gore-Tex and Medpor implants as well as the patient's own ear or rib cartilage, and the hospital has a separate page on ultrasonic rhinoplasty. Its price list includes corrective nose surgery, correction of a nose implant and open correction with a rib graft. Whether a synthetic implant or your own cartilage is used is a decision to make with the surgeon after an examination: ask which material is proposed for you, the reasoning behind it, and the specific risks that come with that choice.

Eyelids and brow. Blepharoplasty, upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, double eyelid surgery (the price list includes a suture method), ptosis correction and brow lift, with forehead lift and mini brow lift variants on the price list.

Face and neck. Facelift and neck lift, with Yanhee's facelift page also covering mid-face and endoscopic approaches, plus facial fat grafting to the cheeks, forehead and temples.

Chin, jaw and cheeks. Chin augmentation with an implant or by advancement, sliding genioplasty, V-line surgery, jaw contouring by mandibular angle reduction, jaw enhancement with silicone mandibular implants, cheek augmentation with implants and buccal fat removal.

Breast. Breast augmentation with implants or by fat transfer (lipofilling), breast asymmetry correction using implants of different sizes, breast lift and breast reduction. For patients who already have implants, the price list covers implant revision (listed as correction mammoplasty) and implant removal. Nipple reconstruction and gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction) are also listed.

Body. Liposuction and Vaser liposuction (Yanhee offers both tumescent and ultrasound-assisted methods), tummy tuck and mini tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, buttock implants and Brazilian butt lift. Yanhee's butt lift page states that fat is placed only in the subcutaneous layer, above the muscle; our BBL guide notes that professional plastic surgery societies give the same safety guidance. Even so, ask your surgeon directly how the fat is injected and how the cannula is kept out of the muscle.

Hair. Hair transplant and FUE hair transplant. Yanhee's page lists shaven FUE, non-shaven FUE, long-hair FUE and FUT (strip) methods.

Cosmetic gynecology. Labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction, cosmetic vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening) and perineoplasty.

Gender-affirming surgery, MTF. Genital surgery: vaginoplasty, peritoneal vaginoplasty (Yanhee has pages on penile-peritoneal and full-length peritoneal flap techniques), colon (sigmoid) vaginoplasty, vulvoplasty, orchiectomy and revision vaginoplasty. Face, voice and body: facial feminization, forehead contouring (brow-bossing reduction), feminizing rhinoplasty, feminizing jaw contouring, tracheal shave, voice feminization, feminizing breast augmentation and body feminization with hip or buttock implants.

Gender-affirming surgery, FTM. Yanhee describes FTM surgery as a staged process. On its FTM page, stage 1 combines top surgery (mastectomy) with hysterectomy and oophorectomy; stage 2 is vaginectomy with urethral lengthening; stage 3 is total phalloplasty using a forearm graft. The Pride Center page lists metoidioplasty as the alternative at the final stage. For scrotoplasty, Yanhee's FTM page describes converting the labia majora into a scrotum, with a prosthesis placed at a later stage, and voice masculinization is also offered.

Also offered, without a separate guide on our site: pectoral implants, cheekbone reduction (malarplasty), Renuvion (J-Plasma) skin tightening, breast reconstruction and umbilicoplasty.

Some of these procedures appear only on the price list rather than on a full service page. Where that is the case, ask for a written description of the operation, the technique and which surgeon performs it before you commit.

Joint Commission International (JCI). JCI's own directory of accredited organisations, checked on 27 September 2026, lists 'Yanhee Hospital' in Bangkok (JCI organisation ID 60000111) under the Hospital Program with the decision 'Accredited'. The directory shows an effective date of 22 January 2011, which appears to be the original award date, and it does not display an expiry date. The JCI certificate image that Yanhee publishes on its accreditation page carries the same organisation ID and reads 'Effective 13 March 2026 through 12 March 2029'. The text on that same hospital page still quotes the previous cycle (11 March 2023 to 10 March 2026), so if you check it yourself, rely on the certificate and the JCI directory rather than the older wording.

HA Thailand. The database of Thailand's Healthcare Accreditation Institute has a record for Yanhee Hospital (โรงพยาบาลยันฮี) as a private hospital, but it shows no current accreditation. The most recent cycle it lists, Re-accreditation 2, is dated 12/01/2016 to 11/01/2019, and earlier entries go back to 2006. Yanhee's About Us page mentions Thai Hospital Accreditation (HA) and ISO accreditation since 2000. Because the HA database does not show a current award and we could not find a dated ISO certificate, we do not list either as current on this profile.

Reading these results. JCI accreditation is an assessment of a hospital's systems and processes, such as patient safety and infection control, against published standards. It is not a verdict on a particular operation or on any individual surgeon's skill. Before surgery, look your surgeon up in the Medical Council of Thailand's online licence check, ask who will give the anaesthetic, ask how an unplanned extra night or a return to the operating room would be handled and billed, and get the treatment plan and follow-up arrangements in writing.

To confirm the status yourself, search for 'Yanhee' in JCI's online directory of accredited international organisations.

Yanhee publishes a detailed account of how it receives patients from abroad. Everything in the list below is taken from Yanhee's own pages; our patient team's role is separate and is explained after the list.

Yanhee's published services for patients from abroad

• Before you travel: a free online pre-assessment, reviewed by an international coordinator.
• On arrival: registration at the International Counter on the first floor, with an interpreter assigned to help you register and to accompany you to each department.
• Language support: interpreter and translator services without extra fees, and English-speaking coordinators and staff at key points around the hospital. The hospital says its interpreters cover the languages commonly used by foreign patients but names only English. Its website is published in eleven languages (Thai, English, Chinese, Burmese, Vietnamese, Korean, Khmer, Arabic, Japanese, Bengali and Russian); that shows which languages the website is written in, not which interpreters will be on duty, so confirm your language before you travel.
• Transport and hotels: transfers between the airport, your hotel and the hospital can be arranged for a fee, and partner hotels offer special rates when booked as part of a Yanhee package.
• During an inpatient stay: the international liaison team visits inpatients every day, and the hospital can help admitted patients with a visa extension if treatment requires a longer stay.
• Payment: cash in major currencies, credit and debit cards, or bank transfer.
• Leaving hospital: discharge documents include a medical certificate, a fit-to-fly certificate and a discharge summary.
• After you return home: follow-up coordinated by email, with photo updates sent to your doctor.
• Regional office: the hospital lists an office in Yangon, Myanmar.

Where our patient team fits in

We are an independent booking service, not a department of Yanhee. When you ask us for a Yanhee consultation, we pass the request to the hospital, chase it up, flag anything the surgeon needs from you before the consultation, and come back with the consultation formats, dates and next steps the hospital proposes. We do not replace Yanhee's own pre-assessment or its interpreters, and every medical decision stays with the surgeon. Patients can use the hospital's services and ours side by side.

Planning the length of your trip. In general, build your stay around the checks your surgeon needs before you travel, not around the operation date alone. Our procedure guides give these typical time-in-Thailand figures: breast augmentation and rhinoplasty commonly 7–10 days; a facelift, facial feminization or top surgery about 10–14 days; the first stage of phalloplasty around 3–4 weeks; and vaginoplasty about three to four weeks, of which roughly the first week is spent in hospital while dilation begins. Treat your return flight as provisional until the surgeon has cleared you to travel, and carry your discharge summary, operation notes and any implant card in your hand luggage.

Yanhee International Hospital's official address is 454 Charansanitwong Road, Soi 90, Bang-O, Bangplad, Bangkok 10700, Thailand. In Thai it is written 454 ถ. จรัญสนิทวงศ์ แขวงบางอ้อ บางพลัด กรุงเทพมหานคร 10700; having the Thai version ready on your phone makes it easier to give directions to a taxi driver.

The hospital spells the district 'Bangplad'. On maps and in Thai it is Bang Phlat (บางพลัด), with Bang O (บางอ้อ) as the sub-district. Bang Phlat lies on the Thonburi side of Bangkok, west of the Chao Phraya River. The map pin on Yanhee's contact page sits at 13.79949, 100.51157, which is the most reliable point to enter into a navigation app.

Getting there and staying nearby. Yanhee can arrange transport between the airport, your hotel and the hospital for a fee, and it works with partner hotels. Our procedure guides generally recommend staying close to the hospital after surgery, because early follow-up visits, dressing changes and stitch removal are easier when the journey is short and you are still sore or swollen. If you would rather stay elsewhere in Bangkok, ask the hospital or our patient team how long the trip to Yanhee usually takes at the times of your appointments before you book accommodation.

For other surgeons and hospitals in the city, and for practical information about the city itself, see our Bangkok guide.

Our patient team can pass a consultation request to Yanhee International Hospital for you at no charge. A date only becomes firm once the hospital itself confirms it.

1. Send a request. Use the request form for Yanhee and tell us the procedure, your goals and the dates that suit you. Say whether you would like to speak to a surgeon online first, be seen in person after you land in Bangkok, or receive a treatment plan for a specific operation.
2. We contact the hospital. Our patient team checks which Yanhee surgeons are available for your procedure and what the hospital needs from you, such as photos or medical records.
3. You receive the options. We reply with the consultation formats, dates and next steps Yanhee proposes. Nothing proceeds unless you choose to continue.
4. Yanhee confirms. A consultation or operation is confirmed only when the hospital confirms it. Deposit, payment and cancellation terms come from Yanhee, not from us.

If you already know which surgeon you want to see, you can request them directly, for example Dr. Worapon Ratanalert for MTF vaginoplasty, Dr. Sukit Warathamrong for FTM genital surgery, Dr. Suthat Koonnawarote for facial feminization, Dr. Thawatchai Boonpadhanapong for rib-cartilage or open rhinoplasty, or Dr. Duangkamon Chiranakorn for breast surgery. If you are unsure, name the procedure and we will ask Yanhee which of its surgeons handle it.

Useful requests are specific. Say whether you have had surgery in the same area before, whether you take regular medication, and where you are travelling from, so the hospital can tell you early whether an online consultation is enough to plan your case or whether the surgeon needs to examine you in person first.

A surgeon can only give a meaningful opinion from clear photos and an honest medical history. Preparing these before you request a consultation shortens the back-and-forth with the hospital.

For every request

• Age, height, weight and general health, including conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or a bleeding or clotting problem.
• Everything you take regularly, including supplements, any allergies, and your smoking or vaping habits.
• Any previous surgery, especially in the same area, with approximate dates.
• Your travel window and how flexible it is.

Photos by procedure area (plain background, even light, no filters; no make-up for facial photos)

• Nose: front, both profiles, both three-quarter views and a view from below showing the nostrils. For revision, add operative notes or implant details from the earlier surgery if you have them.
• Eyelids and brow: eyes open looking straight ahead, eyes gently closed and eyes looking up, plus close-ups of each eye. Mention any dry-eye symptoms.
• Face, chin and jaw: front, both profiles and both three-quarter views with the teeth together; send any X-rays or CT scans you already have if you are asking about jaw or chin bone surgery.
• Breast or chest: front, both sides and both three-quarter views, standing with your arms at your sides. For implant revision or removal, send the implant card, or whatever record you have of the implant's make and volume, with the approximate date it was placed.
• Body contouring: front, back and both sides of the areas of concern, standing relaxed. For a tummy tuck, mention whether you plan further pregnancies.
• Hair transplant: the front hairline, top and crown, plus the donor zone across the back of the scalp and above the ears, with the hair short or wet so the scalp shows; list any hair-loss medication you use.
• Removal of injected silicone or fillers: photos of the affected areas and whatever you know about what was injected, where and when.

Pride Center patients (MTF and FTM)

• Assessment letters from your mental health or medical provider. Thai surgeons generally follow the WPATH SOC-8 guidance, yet some still request two letters, so check Yanhee's exact requirement for your operation.
• Your hormone therapy history, including the start date and current medication, where relevant.
• For vaginoplasty, the status of any hair removal. For later FTM stages, records and operation notes from earlier stages, especially if they were done elsewhere.
• For voice surgery, any previous voice therapy or ENT reports you have.

Send what you are comfortable sharing at first; the surgeon may ask for more once they have seen your case.
