Theerapong Poonyakariyagorn, Plastic surgeon

With peritoneal pull-through vaginoplasty (PPV) performed using a laparoscopic camera and designed to create a self-lubricating vagina, Theerapong Poonyakariyagorn’s work at Interplast Clinic is built around both surgical precision and long-term function. As the founder and chief plastic surgeon at Interplast Clinic in Bangkok, he is board-certified and has 25+ years of surgical experience, with over 20 years devoted to plastic surgery. His practice focuses on male-to-female (MTF) sex reassignment surgery (SRS), particularly complex SRS revision and aesthetic revision vaginoplasty. Training shaped his pathway from general surgery into plastic and reconstructive surgery through residency and residence training across multiple Bangkok hospitals, culminating in specialised plastic surgery training. He is certified by the Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons of Thailand and is an active member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). For international patients, Interplast Clinic also runs a concierge programme that includes airport transfers, hotel coordination near the clinic, and dedicated post-surgery assistance during recovery.
