12 Best Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery Clinics in Thailand
Cosmetic and plastic surgery providers across Thailand compared: hospital centres, cosmetic hospitals and clinics, with what their packages and policies cover. Check services, staff, fees and availability with each provider before you book.
Bangkok has hospital centres, dedicated cosmetic hospitals and clinics; Phuket, Pattaya and Chiang Mai are mainly hospital-based.
The surgeon matters more than the brand: check their Thai Board of Plastic Surgery certificate and Medical Council licence.
Package prices exclude different things, from implants and tests to complications; compare written totals.
Revision and warranty terms vary from a written committee process to short implant warranties.

The cosmetic and plastic surgery clinics in Thailand
Bumrungrad's Plastic (Cosmetic) Surgery Center sits on the 16th floor of Building A and sees patients by appointment, seven days a week. The page names 22 surgeons under plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery; the profile we checked, Dr Apichai Angspatt, lists a Diploma of the Thai Board of Plastic Surgery (1993).
The procedure list covers rhinoplasty, eyelid and forehead surgery, facelifts and facial implants, breast augmentation, lift and reduction, tummy tucks and liposuction, including HD liposuction. It also lists reconstructive work after cancer, hand surgery, facial bone reconstruction and paediatric reconstruction, so the same team handles both cosmetic and corrective cases.
No prices or packages appear on the centre's page. It may suit patients who want a hospital setting with a large surgical roster and are prepared to request a quote.

The Plastic and Esthetic Surgery Institute is on the 6th floor of Building 2, the Sukhumvit Wing, with a second unit at Samitivej Srinakarin. It says its surgeons are board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons and that they work with anaesthetists, nurses and a cardiologist. One surgeon whose profile we checked, Dr Suttisun Jankajorn, lists Thai Board diplomas in surgery (2000) and plastic surgery (2003).
Its list runs from rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery and face and neck lifts to breast augmentation, lift, reduction and reconstruction, several types of tummy tuck, thigh and arm lifts, and traditional and Vaser liposuction. Reconstructive services include cleft lip and palate repair, scar revision and skin cancer removal. The page says it treats local residents, expatriates and international patients.

Prof. Chirakan Charoenvicha, lists plastic surgery training at Chiang Mai University and Thai as the language spoken.

Its doctor directory lists Dr Singto Siriwiroj under plastic surgery, attached to the Emergency and Trauma Center, with medical, surgical and plastic surgery training at Khon Kaen University (plastic surgery in 2022) and English listed as a language.
That placement suggests plastic surgery here mainly supports emergency and reconstructive care. Planned cosmetic surgery in the same network is concentrated at the Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute at Bangkok Hospital Siriroj, a separate hospital elsewhere in Phuket Town.
No procedure list or prices are published. It may suit patients already under the hospital's care who need a plastic surgery opinion, for example after an injury, rather than those planning elective cosmetic surgery.

How to compare cosmetic and plastic surgery clinics in Thailand
Cosmetic surgery in Thailand is offered by large private hospitals, dedicated cosmetic surgery hospitals and smaller clinics, often at published package prices. The choice that matters most is the individual surgeon: their specialist training, where they will operate, who gives the anaesthetic, and what happens if something goes wrong after you have flown home.
This guide is general information, not medical advice. Only a surgeon who has examined you can say whether a procedure is suitable, and no surgery is free of risk.
Plastic surgeon or cosmetic doctor
Any licensed doctor in Thailand can describe themselves as offering cosmetic treatment, but a plastic surgeon has completed specialist surgical training. Thai plastic surgeons usually list a diploma or certificate of the Thai Board of Plastic Surgery on their hospital profile, often after a Thai Board of Surgery certificate. Some also list membership of the Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand or international bodies such as ISAPS.
Check the licence yourself. The Medical Council of Thailand's public lookup (tmc.or.th/check_md) searches by first name and surname and shows whether the licence is current and any recorded specialty. Ask the clinic for the surgeon's full name and licence number rather than relying on a nickname or a screenshot.
Since 3 July 2026 a Medical Council rule requires doctors who advertise cosmetic services to show their full name and medical licence number, with any nickname alongside it. An advert, influencer post or sales message that names no doctor, or only a nickname, is a reason to ask more questions before paying anything.
Hospital, cosmetic hospital or clinic
Large private hospitals run plastic surgery centres with intensive care and other specialists in the same building. Dedicated cosmetic surgery hospitals are smaller and focus on elective surgery, typically with their own beds and operating theatres. Clinics may operate on site under local anaesthesia and send patients to a partner hospital for general anaesthesia.
Thai facilities are licensed by the Department of Health Service Support, whose lookup at hosp.hss.moph.go.th shows a facility's licence type, operator and status. Check that the place where you will actually be operated on, not only the consultation clinic, is licensed, and whether it is licensed to keep patients overnight.
Where will the operation take place, and is that facility licensed?
Is there an intensive care unit on site, or a written transfer arrangement?
Will you stay overnight, and who monitors you?
Anaesthesia and safety in theatre
Ask who will give the anaesthetic, and whether a specialist anaesthesiologist will be present throughout if you are having general anaesthesia or deep sedation. Ask whether the procedure is planned under local anaesthesia, sedation or general anaesthesia, and whether you will need tests or a medical clearance first; several hospitals charge for this separately or require a cardiology review for older patients.
Be cautious about combining several large procedures in one operation to fit a holiday. Ask the surgeon how combining procedures changes the risk; after examining you, they may advise staging them.
Consultation and realistic expectations
The NHS advises two consultations with the surgeon before surgery, allowing a cooling-off period, and says the consultation should be with the surgeon, not only with sales staff. The surgeon should explain what the operation can and cannot achieve, the alternatives, and the risks and complications, and should be able to show before-and-after photographs of their own work.
Remote consultations by video or messaging can help you shortlist, but the surgeon cannot finalise a plan without examining you. Ask what happens to your deposit if, on examination, the surgeon recommends a different procedure or advises against surgery.
Planning the trip and recovery
Both surgery and long flights raise the risk of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), which can be life-threatening. The NHS and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons advise not flying for 5 to 7 days after breast surgery or liposuction, and for 7 to 10 days after facial procedures and tummy tucks. Thai providers' own recommended stays for breast augmentation run from about seven to nine days, usually until stitches are removed and a check-up is done.
Plan recovery, not a holiday. Sunbathing, swimming, alcohol, long tours and strenuous activity can delay healing or raise the risk of infection, which ASPS reports as the most common complication after surgery abroad. Choose accommodation close to the hospital, and agree in advance how you will contact the surgical team at night.
Complications, revisions and follow-up at home
Ask for the provider's complication and revision policy in writing. Some publish detailed terms: one Phuket institute, for example, requires concerns to be raised in writing within 12 months, reviews cases by committee, and excludes inherent risks such as capsular contracture and stays shorter than the recommended minimum. Others offer short hospital warranties alongside the implant manufacturer's cover. Know which applies, who pays for flights and accommodation for a revision, and whether surgery by another surgeon voids the cover.
Before you leave, ask for an operation note, discharge summary and implant details (brand, size and lot number). Talk to your own doctor before you travel; they are likely to be the first person you see if a problem appears later. The NHS notes that standard travel insurance normally does not cover problems arising from surgery.
Published prices and what packages include
Several Thai hospitals publish package prices, but what they cover varies. One Bangkok hospital's packages include the theatre, surgical and anaesthetic teams, operation medicines and a standard room, but exclude implants, the pre-operative medical clearance, laboratory tests, pathology and treatment of complications. Another clinic's breast package includes implants within a size range, one night's stay and follow-up, but adds surcharges for larger implants and a 3% card fee.
Compare total quotes, not headline prices. Check the validity date on any promotion, whether it is limited to certain surgeons or to fly-in patients, and the deposit terms. GOV.UK notes that private hospitals in Thailand usually ask self-funding patients for a deposit before treatment begins.

Questions to ask before you book
What is the operating surgeon's full name and Medical Council licence number, and are they certified by the Thai Board of Plastic Surgery?
How many of this procedure has the surgeon performed, and can I see their own before-and-after photographs?
Where exactly will the operation take place, and is that facility licensed and able to keep me overnight?
Who will give the anaesthetic, and what type of anaesthesia is planned?
Will I meet the surgeon in person before the day of surgery, and can I change my mind after that consultation?
What does the quoted price include and exclude, in writing, including implants, tests and medical clearance?
How many nights will I stay in hospital, and how many days should I stay in Thailand before flying home?
Who do I call at night or after discharge if I have pain, bleeding, fever or swelling?
What is your written policy on complications and revisions, and who pays for travel if I need to come back?
Will I receive an operation note, discharge summary and implant record to take home?
How much is the deposit, when is it due, and when is it refundable?
Warning signs
The surgeon is identified only by a nickname, or no licence number is given when you ask.
You are offered surgery before any consultation with the surgeon, or only speak to sales staff or an agent.
Pressure to pay a deposit quickly to secure a promotional price.
A quote that does not say whether implants, anaesthesia, the hospital stay or complications are included.
Encouragement to fly home within a day or two of major surgery, or to combine several large procedures to save time.
No written aftercare plan or named contact for problems after you return home.
How do I compare cosmetic surgery providers in different Thai cities?
Start with the surgeon's training and where the operation will take place, then compare written quotes line by line: surgeon and anaesthetist fees, implants, nights in hospital, tests and complication cover. Our cosmetic surgery buying guide lists the questions to ask.
When can I fly home after cosmetic surgery in Thailand?
The NHS and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons advise not flying for 5 to 7 days after breast surgery or liposuction, and 7 to 10 days after facial procedures or a tummy tuck. Thai providers' recommended stays for breast augmentation run from about seven to nine days. Your surgeon should give you a written date.
Does travel insurance cover complications from cosmetic surgery abroad?
Standard travel insurance usually does not. Ask the provider for its complication and revision policy in writing, and bring home an operation note, discharge summary and implant details for your own doctor.
What should I check about a cosmetic surgery advert in Thailand?
Since July 2026, a Medical Council rule requires doctors advertising cosmetic services to show their full name and licence number. An advert that names no doctor, or only a nickname, is a reason to ask more questions before paying a deposit.
