Piyapas Pichaichanarong, MD

Well at last minute dot com I decided to have Vaser liposuction over in Bangkok hospital in Siroj. Before going in I was a little scared given I only literally decided three days before hand. I met with Dr Piyapas and when I had my consult all my nerves and fears subsided. He has An amazing way of making you feel comfortable and at ease and I trusted him 100%. He very quickly and with ease was able to talk about my body shaping and any unique characteristics that he could shape. I could tell immediately how skilled and experienced he was. The same day after consult I went into surgery. Once again before hand I had chest X-ray, blood pressure tests, blood tests, ecg before the operation . All staff made me feel special and knew exactly what they needed to do. The anaesthetist met me before hand and really made an effort to get to know me before the operation and to put me at ease. After several hours I was wheeled in for the operation. The technology in this hospital was state of the art. I’ve never seen an operating theatre like it. To support this there was circa 6 nurses in ready to assist and my anaesthetist that was happy talking to me about life. All staff including the Dr Piyapas just made me feel at ease and comfortable. I knew as soon as I saw the operating room that I made the right decision. I went in at 6pm and by 10pm I cam out of general anaesthetic. I had minimal if any pain and by 10am the next morning I was up and about walking through the hospital. After seeing how well I recovered I was able to convince Dr Piyapas that o didn’t need to stay in for 3 days and instead opted for the catch up visits. Best thing I ever did I can’t begin to estimate how happy I was that I did at the last minute chose to do this and secondly pick someone as experienced and perfectionist Dr Piyapas. The results are amazing. I should have done this years and years ago. Price was far cheaper than australia and I had four areas treated instead of the one for sale price. There was slight pain for first three days almost akin to bumping something with side of the leg but it was fine with pain relief. Bruising stayed only for 7 days and Dr priyapas recommended soak the legs so bruising disappears and it worked. There was a lot of people before hand trying to talk me out of it but seriously those same people now want to fly across and do the same thing. I’m now 3 weeks post op. In terms of scars and cuts I have three little holes each about 3 mm that are barely visible and fading daily. I will update with before and after photos at 6 weeks Updated on 6 Mar 2023: Results amazing! So so happy. You have no idea how much such a small change can make to shape and appearance. Wish I did this ten years ago. So glad I found Dr Priyapas he is the best! And so too are his team

I used to spend a substantial amount of time obsessing over my breasts. I know we should try to uplift one another by undermining these ridiculous and mean body standards, but easier said than done, and at the end of the day, we really should be allowed to feel good in our skin. After years of feeling uncomfortable, never fitting into a bra, being emotionally incapable of going without a padded bra, and always (irrationally) worried that whoever I was talking to was thinking "holy crap, she's so flat she's concave!" I decided to take the leap into breast augmentation. I just wanted to 5 minutes without feeling upset about my boobs. (Spoiler Alert: Mission Accomplished) I'm a petite 5'4", fluctuate between 100-125 lbs, and was between a 30A and a 30B, which basically equated to less "meat" than the palm of my hand. I used to abhor the idea of plastic surgery. I want to say this for the other ladies out there who are held back by this rhetoric. I used to worry it was "fake", but what about the two cups worth of padding I was wearing every day just to feel normal? I also used to worry because my mother had experienced a botched breast augmentation, including Capsular Contracture, when I was a preteen, and I had watched the expensive and painful fallout from that. (Ladies, this is why your choice of Dr is so important, and I can't recommend mine enough!) **I chose Dr. Piyapas in Phuket, Thailand, I have 250cc (which is a 30DD on me but translates to a 34C/36B), silicone, round, high profile.** This is where it's important to make these decisions with your DR. I thought I would need 300cc+ in order to get the size I was looking for, (I requested to "look like I do already in my padded bras, but not have to wear them anymore"), but I have a 30 band frame so the cc's will look different on every frame, just like cup size is so relative to body type. I also didn't want high profile because all the high profile pics I saw looked very "obvious" and, not to insult, like "Vegas girls". However, I had an infection in my breasts when I was developing that I'd always suspected stunted my breast growth, and that was confirmed when it was explained to me that I had a minor tissue abnormality. Basically, the tissue behaved like someone who had breastfed, so high profile would give the fullness and projection my breasts lacked. Choosing the round implant was also for this reason, though he also suggested tear drop, but discussed the potential risks of that. As for the size, my Dr suggested a 275cc to get to where I had voiced I was dreaming of, but when we tried on the inserts, I panicked. I thought they were huge (they weren't), and while I'm super happy with my breasts, and this difference would have barely been noticeable (25cc is nominal), I definitely suggest taking your Dr's suggestion on cc's. As for my doctor, Dr. Piyapas wasn't just the right choice for the surgery but for the whole experience. I'm an awkward, introverted person to begin with, but no matter how confused, indecisive, or flustered I was during appointments, he never ran over the top of my concerns or questions, he took his time, and he made sure I was treated wonderfully. When I was having a panic attack before being put under, he held my hand and talked to me until I was out. That image is as burned into my head as the sweet staff, bright office, and homey hospital. A few years ago, I taught in Chiang Mai for a few months, and the Thai culture values service to others in a way we are not familiar with here in the states, but you can experience a sliver of that if you elect to do this surgery in Thailand. As for the standards of health, throw out any reservations you may have because there was a cleanliness and modernity accompanying Dr. Piyapas' practice that you can barely find in a US . (The hospital he uses, or at least did back in 2017, is Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute.) Additionally, Dr. Piyapas' office uses a service called Renuval. They are amazing. You basically get assigned a case worker, and they help you with all the travel plans, visa paperwork, they have cars that will pick you up, drop you off, you can ask them anything. They stay in constant email contact with you for the months leading up to the surgery, and check in with you every month afterward. They really help answer any questions you have, and relay anything they can't answer to the doctor. For example, I was having nerve pain in my breasts a few weeks after surgery, and she was able to suggest techniques and vitamins, and then was able to get the doctor's recommendation on massaging and altering my medications a little. I also started freaking out when something sharp and plastic was poking out of my incision (it was my stitches, but I was panicking!), and she was able to calm me down and tell me as long as I wasn't tearing a scab, I could use tweezers to gently slide out the pieces that had decided not to dissolve. And that's just a peek into how helpful they've been. It's been almost a year and a half since my operation. Wonderfully, I spend hardly any time at all thinking about my breasts other than that I love them. I wear whatever clothes I want, whether it's professional attire or sexy clothes, and I feel good about the way I fit in them now. They still won't smush together for cleavage, but it turns out that has way more to do with the shape and set of your boobs than the size. ** I know this isn't for everyone, but you deserve to love your body, and if that means a little help like this, I wish you the best sister!** If you have any questions, please ask! Updated on 13 Apr 2020: Someone asked about the incision scar, so here's a picture. The scar is under my breasts, and is only visible if you're looking up at me from that angle, or when breasts are pulled up. After 2.5 years, the scars are soft and light, with no pain, and they're not chunky or bumpy. Updated on 13 Apr 2020: Hey there! Figured there's been enough change to share. My breasts have gotten softer and fallen more into a relaxed position. (If that's not for you, just do pec exercises and they pop forward perky again, but I wanted them to be "subtle"). Miracle of miracles, they finally fall together now and I can get cleavage! I didn't think that would happen, especially when I was told if you didn't have cleavage before, you probably won't after because it has to do with distance and angle, and that's all natural. That being said, I don't often wear things with cleavage. I've gotten so comfortable with my size and shape that I don't feel compelled to worry about how my breasts look. I often go without a bra, wearing a camisole or an under shirt if necessary, although a bra doesn't hurt on dates. ;) I also work in a serious field now, and am happy to report that going for a "reasonable size" was actually a really smart move for me long term, in case you're like me and were worried about being taken seriously.

Ever since I was a kid, I was aware of my vagina looking different to everyone elses. When I showed my mum, she asked if I had been pulling it. I later learnt that I had what is called an elongated labia minora and it's actually a relatively common thing! Once I found out there was a fix, I knew that was something I definitely wanted to do. I'm 26 yrs old and have had two long term female partners who have both loved my vagina (it has "character") but I didn't want to do this for anyone else. I wanted to do it for me. I am a very self proud person with few insecurities. This was my only one and I figured that if there was a way to combat that, why shouldn't I ! I also didn't want to have any regrets as I got older, when insecurities tend to develop anymore. I researched prices at home (New Zealand) where a labia minora reduction would cost around $5000 NZD. Then I looked at options in Thailand. I found out that I could get the procedure, plus 8 nights accommodation in a 5 star hotel, and flights for both myself and my partner for the same price. No brainer. I ended up booking through a New Zealand booking agent, Medi-Cation. They organised everything from appointments, flights, transfers and accommodation. I would highly recommend doing this as the booking fee is relatively cheap ($300 from memory) and worth every cent for piece of mind, security and lack of stress when going into an already nerve-racking procedure. After arriving in Phuket, I had a day to recover from jetlag and recce the area, then had my appointment with Dr. Piyapas at the Jungceylon Clinic the following day. I was adamant I wanted the procedure to be done under a local anaesthetic as my body does not respond well to generals, which are slightly riskier and not necessary for this procedure. The surgery took 2 hours. Having the anaesthetic injected was really painful but the rest of the procedure was fine. I didn't realise that one of the pills they gave me when i first arrived was a sedative so I relaxed pretty quickly and felt a bit dozey by the end. The nurses were comforting, holding my hand. Dr. Piyapas was great, but in my opinion lacked the bedside manner that people have spoken about. The nurses spoke very little English and were sometimes a bit difficult to communicate with. After the procedure, I was given some antibiotics and pain killers to take away with me and I was dropped back to my accommodation. About 30 mins after arriving back, the local wore off and boy did it wake me up! The pain was excruciating and after looking at the pain meds prescribed, I was only prescribed Norgesic which is just aspirin and caffeine.....I was actually quite shocked that they expected this to be sufficient pain relief considering they had just cut part of my vagina off..I called the clinic and asked them to bring me something stronger. After several difficult phone calls trying to explain what I needed, they brought some tramadol and arcoxia (the legal high was a nice distraction!). Luckily I had also brought a few pain meds from home. I would advise anyone else to do the same as I could not have put up with that pain for another day. I'm now the day after and feeling ok. Still in quite a bit of pain but it has eased with some decent painkillers. Walking and sitting is pretty painful so have stayed in the hotel, hoping to get out for a bit tonight. Vagina is a bit swollen but looking way better than I had expected it to at this stage! Already pleased with the results and proud to show off my new glory bits (no sex for 4 weeks though..). For anyone considering - do it. But just make sure you do your research first, go through an agent and come prepared. Updated on 14 Jun 2018: So I've just about reached the 5 week mark and starting to feel very proud of my pretty new asset. The swelling has mostly gone down and everything has tucked itself back in. There's still a little bulge below my clit but I'm hoping this is still going to go down. It's still a little bit sore and sensitive so I'm not really back to having sex yet. Reflecting on the last few weeks.....not gonna lie, it was pretty painful. For a while. I would definitely recommend 2 weeks off work (unless you wanna explain to your boss why you can't sit down properly) and be prepared for a very uncomfortable menstrual period (with pads, no tampons). Tight jeans and g-strings are out. But holy sh*% have you seen it?! It's a god damn thing of beauty! It has a way to go, the stitches haven't fully dissolved and I expect the clitoral hood to shrink a bit more, but I'm stoked with the results. Updated on 14 Jun 2018:

From the day I booked my appointment till 6 days post op, i had a very good experience. The staff at PPSI were very helpful and friendly. I don't see them working that quick in Sydney. During my consultation with Dr Piyapas I told him what I wanted and hed told me what he recommended. I had options, the best thing for me was to go and see the ENT in the hospital for his opinion. I was very happy. I have then been taken to my room and didn't see Dr Piyapas untill I was taken into the waiting room before surgery. Dr Piyapas came for a visit and made me feel comfortable and told me what we a He was going to according to the ENT. Went into operating room and Dr Piyapas help my had and said good night. Woke up 6 hours later. Moved me into my room to eat my first meal as I was starving. Nurse's were great again. Daily checkups with medications. The day of discharge I had a visit from Dr Piyapas telling me everything went fine. I will see him.again tomorrow for my 7 days post op.

The absolute best! Hands down number 1. Would give 6 stars in all box's if possible. Consultation, Before op, Procedure breast enhancement, Bedside manner, after care etc

My procedures were Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation, I am a 29/F. I can not praise Dr. Piyapas more for his flawless professionalism during my stay in hospital. I felt very at ease after our consultation that I was at the hands of a capable and talented surgeon for my procedures, and same-day went into the theatre. All pre-theatre staff such as the anaesthetist were very friendly and comforting prior to the arrival of the Surgeon. Dr. Piyapas held my hand reassuringly when sedation was happening which was very comforting. After surgery, he visited daily in the mornings to check on how I was. The supporting nursing staff were 10/10 whilst looking after me and were always there to help in an instant. Post-operative care wise I had 2 visits after I left the hospital, and each went well, with Dr. Piyapas recommending different things to make it more comfortable for my recovery such as hot or warm compresses, and anti-inflamatory herbs. He also gave his private work e-mail should I need any further questions asked. Dr. Piyapas is a highly skilled surgeon and a very nice person. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my cosmetic surgery needs, and can only say how absolutely thrilled I am with the results of my rhinoplasty and chin implant. They are absolute perfection, thank you Dr. Piyapas.

lovely facilities and staff Dr. Piyapas was amazing, consultation a little rushed, semi regretting getting round implants rather than anatomical, which I blame on the rushing of the decision, but over a brilliant experience with no pain, barely any bruising, minimal swelling etc. its almost been three months and I'm loving them scarring should be gone soon too more photos to come

Had my BL & BA surgery with Dr Piyapas on 2nd September & am truly over the moon with my results.he is very caring & kind. Bangkok hospital Phuket is like a hotel, very clean & the nurses were patient & kind also. I highly recommend having surgery at this hospital. You can get quotes directly from the hospital. They organise appointments & transfers between airport, hotel & hospital. I'm attaching photos 5 days Po & at 2 weeks. Updated on 17 Sep 2015: A couple of pics of my hospital room. It was huge! I am planning to put up before photos, just waiting on doc to email.i haven't put up cost of my procedure, because everybody is different. Some may need more work than others, so will be quoted differently. The hospital will ask you to send pictures then quote you.

I always knew from a very young age that I would not age gracefully and would need to correct the aging process at some point. 6 years back I had upper and lower eyelid surgery at the Bangkok Hospital, Phuket. My surgeon was Dr Piyapas and the results were great. Therefore it made perfect sense to return to Dr Piyapas for my facelift and necklift surgery. I had total confidence in Dr Piyapas and had my facelift and necklift surgery 4th May 2015, all went very well. It's easy to forget that this is major surgery and the procedures took 7 hours, but I was exceptionally well cared for throughout. Dr Piyapas, the anaesthetist and all of the nursing staff were fabulous and conducted themselves with the uppermost professionalism. My recovery has been remarkable with very little swelling and bruising and although I felt tired for the first few days, day 5 after the surgery I am beginning to feel like myself again and my wounds are healing very nicely. I even face timed my family yesterday without my supporting bandage. Both myself and my husband cannot thank Dr Piyapas enough and the Bangkok Hospital and we would highly recommend Dr Piyapas and the Bangkok Hospital to anyone else thinking of coming to Phuket for a medical / cosmetic procedure.

Hi all, Im now currently 7 and a half months Post op. This is my story. I've always loved breasts. Since i was a child. I just find them so feminine and sexy. After going through puberty and coming to the sad conclusion that i was forever doomed by my asian genes to have small breasts (i was a 10B) i started researching Breast Augmentations. It took me a good 5 years to finally decide, that i was 100% committed to getting it done. Originally i wanted to go to a Melbourne doctor, however after relocating to Perth, i met a girl who had hers done overseas in Thailand. The price difference was extraordinary i couldn't help but look into over seas surgeries. So many are surrounded by horror stories, however choosing a proper hospital and not choosing the cheapest option over there seems to be a massive point of difference. I went to Bangkok Hospital in Phuket. I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing the care over there was. Included in the surgery fee which all up was $4200 AUD or $3276 USD, was surgery, pre op appointment, post op appointments, one nights stay in hospital, and complete transfers for all appointments between airport - hotel and hospital, as well as transfer back to airport at the end of your stay. My Dr was Dr Piyapas. I chose him after doing extensive research, he is top of the range, and really knows his [RS bleep]. I booked directly through the hospital from their website instead of going through a third party. My pain during recovery was at most 2/10, it was more discomfort than pain. Having a BA was one of the best things I've ever done, it sounds crazy, but i would do it all over again. That is how good my experience was. please ask me any questions you have :) Updated on 13 Jun 2017: Almost three years I forget that they aren't a part of me!! Here is an update :) Updated on 13 Jun 2017: Almost 4 years on and I forget that I wasn't just born with these mangos ???? Updated on 14 Jun 2017: -_- am i the only one who find this site isn't very user friendly! The video did not load in the last update, here it is! Updated on 16 Jun 2017: A lot of people have been asking what size I was before which is stated in my original post; so I am reposting this photo, I was a 32B (really a 30B but it's hard to find in this size) this is me prior to having a BA
