Joe Areejunthawat, MD
Board-Certified Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
I am a plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in Bangkok, with a practice that includes aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. My reconstructive training remains an important foundation for how I understand surgical problems and plan treatment.
Reconstruction informs the way I approach aesthetic surgery.
My reconstructive training has shaped the way I approach surgery. Restoring form and function after injury, disease, or tissue loss requires an understanding of anatomy, blood supply, tissue movement, and wound healing, as well as the limitations of what surgery can achieve.
I bring these principles into my aesthetic practice, considering the underlying anatomy and function alongside the change a patient hopes to achieve. This background helps me assess each concern and select an appropriate approach, rather than begin with a preferred operation or a standard result.
Training and professional background.
My medical and specialist training provides the foundation for my practice in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The qualifications below are presented for patients who would like to understand that background in more detail.
Areas of surgical interest.
My practice includes aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, with a particular clinical interest in eye and brow procedures, including upper and lower blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, and brow ptosis surgery. I also perform rhinoplasty and selected facial procedures.
My reconstructive work includes skin cancer and wound reconstruction, as well as restoration of form and function when medically indicated. Each area of practice requires an understanding of the underlying problem and the treatment options available.
Explore Procedures →Understanding the concern before choosing the operation.
I begin by understanding the patient’s concerns, examining the relevant anatomy and function, and discussing what treatment may realistically achieve. Surgery is considered when there is an appropriate indication, with the plan tailored to the individual rather than a standard result.
I believe patients should understand the available options, limitations, risks, and recovery before deciding whether to proceed.
