all about dr. nond

I am a professor at the largest training center of plastic surgery in Thailand, Chulalongkorn hospital. My career started in 1998 after a full training in general surgery and plastic surgery.

During and after my training, I was under preceptorship of Prof.Dr. Charan Mahatumarat who is the father of craniofacial surgery in Thailand. Prof. Mahatumarat is also known as one of the best cosmetic surgeons in Thailand. What I have in the present practice could not be possible without his kind teaching and care.

I furthered my education by training at Australian Craniofacial Unit in Adelaide, South Australia for one year and at Tampa Bay Craniofacial Center in Tampa, Floria, USA for another one year. In Australia I gained high-level skill in manipulating facial bone structures in different ways, not to mention other surgical procedures for various craniofacial deformities. This became the basis of my current capability of cosmetic facial surgery.

In Tampa I experienced advances in plastic surgical instrumentations and devices as well as various cosmetic procedures commonly done in Florida. It was the golden period when I had opportunities to attend conferences in plastic surgery in US, to learn facial cosmetic surgery, breast surgery and body contouring.

Chulalongkorn university is the largest medical school in Thailand. It ranks the first in Thailand, 138th among the world’s top universities and 51st in Life Sciences and Biomedicine area by Times Higher Education 2009. In 2021, it was announced No. 1 University in Thailand and Top 50 Universities in Asia by QS Asia University Rankings 2021. The best medical school is also under this university.
