Interplast Clinic — Bangkok, Thailand

Interplast Clinic is a private multi-specialty medical facility in Bangkok, Thailand. It specializes in plastic surgery, dermatology, and aesthetic medicine. The clinic runs three dedicated departments from a single, fully equipped building.

Accreditations and Medical Leadership

The clinic is accredited by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). It holds a second accreditation from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). Together, they show the clinic meets international safety and professional standards in cosmetic care.

Dr. Theerapong Poonyakariyagorn is the clinic's founder and chief plastic surgeon. He is board-certified and has 40 years of medical experience. Over his career, he has performed more than 20,000 cosmetic surgery cases. He is an active member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand and ISAPS.

Dr. Wilasinee Udkhamtiang joined the surgical team in 2010. She holds a Diploma from the Thai Board of Plastic Surgery. Her work covers facial and body procedures, with a focus on keeping complication rates low.

Specialized Procedures and Techniques

Interplast Clinic offers a broad range of surgical and non-surgical aesthetic treatments. Surgeons use absorbable stitches for many procedures, since this simplifies recovery for international travelers. Patients can return home without waiting for stitch removal.

Facial and Body Contouring

The surgical team performs several facial rejuvenation and body sculpting procedures:

• Full Facelift (Rhytidectomy): Often combined with a neck lift to tighten sagging skin.
• Blepharoplasty: Upper eyelid surgery with incisions hidden in the natural crease lines.
• Abdominal Etching: Also called six-pack surgery. It uses liposculpture to define the abdominal muscles.
• Facial Fat Transfer: Restores volume to the face with the patient's own fat.

For body contouring, the clinic offers both traditional tumescent liposuction and VASER-assisted liposuction. Vaser technology breaks down fat cells with ultrasound energy. Because of this, the surrounding tissues stay largely untouched.

Gender-Affirming Care

The clinic is a specialized destination for male-to-female (MTF) gender reassignment surgery. Dr. Poonyakariyagorn focuses on complex techniques that give both functional and aesthetic results. Each pathway follows a set hospital stay protocol for patient safety.

• Sigmoid Colon Vaginoplasty: Uses a colon graft to create sufficient vaginal depth.
• Peritoneal Pull-Through Vaginoplasty (PPV): A Davydov-based approach that uses the patient's peritoneum.
• Aesthetic Revision Vaginoplasty: Corrective surgery that improves the results of previous procedures.

Patients arrive at the hospital one day early for bowel preparation. After surgery, they typically spend 5–6 days under hospital monitoring before moving to a hotel.

Men’s Aesthetic Services

The clinic treats specific concerns for men, including Gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). Depending on the case, treatment involves liposuction, tissue removal, or both. Penis enlargement is available too, using skin grafting or filler-based approaches.

Post-Surgical Care and Recovery

Interplast Clinic uses Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as part of its post-surgical care. Patients breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This speeds up healing and reduces tissue swelling after major operations.

After major surgeries, patients typically stay in the hospital for 1–2 days. The clinic gives them structured recovery guidelines to manage discomfort and protect surgical wounds. These include clear timelines for returning to physical activity and travel.

International Patient Services

The One Safe Journey concierge program handles logistics for patients traveling from abroad. It aims to make the trip from the airport to the operating room smooth. Staff help plan arrivals and coordinate all necessary medical appointments.

Support services for international patients include:

• Airport transfers and arrival-departure planning
• Hotel bookings with selected partner hotels near the clinic
• Nurse and homecare services at the patient's hotel
• Post-operative monitoring and follow-up consultations

All planning materials and surgical instructions are in English. Dedicated foreign-patient assistants guide patients through treatment and recovery.
