Dr. Kriangkrai was very professional and confident in his abilities as an accomplished surgeon. I wanted more procedures and he advised immediately that I should not have my eyelids done, and that having my neck lift and lower facelift would fix anything else, and that it would not be a good look to have more done, which I was very appreciative of. The surgery was a great success, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking plastic surgery. The results speak for themselves. Yanhee staff and hospital were fantastic. I was well looked after, and there was nothing too much trouble. All the staff, especially nurses, were amazing.
I’ve gone through breast reduction, arm and back liposuction. The results turned out well. Thanks to Dr. and all the nurses who took good care of me. Also, thanks to nurse Deena who took care of me, was punctual, and pleasant to me.

I had good communication online with Jeremy; it was easy to make an appointment. I came in for a consultation; however, I was so comfortable and confident with Dr. Kriangkrai that I came in on the day of my surgery. I found Dr. Kriangkrai to be very informative and he showed me quite a few photos of my planned surgery. He came in to check up on me daily and I could tell by his reactions he was happy with the result despite the fact I felt like I was hit by a truck. It was good staying in the hospital for 3 days because it takes that time to feel slightly normal. The Liaison ladies who came and checked on me were very informative. They helped organize a nurse to assist me to my hotel for discharge. I was given plenty of information before discharge.
Very happy and satisfied with my surgeon and all of the nurses and staff for being so kind and helpful. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. And, I especially loved the view from my room.

It is my second time coming to Yanhee for plastic surgery and I am very satisfied with the procedure. There was no issue in communication, and pre/post surgery was very smooth and efficient. I love the ward experience because the room has always been spacious and private. Nurses are friendly and caring. I was well taken care of after the surgery and during the recovery. There will always be someone on standby 24/7 if I need any assistance.
The doctors are experienced and assuring, I have full trust whenever I come especially for big surgeries like gonioplasty and malarplasty. I would definitely choose somewhere with an ICU and all-rounded facilities like Yanhee.
As a person who is very afraid of pain, Dr. Kriangkrai and his team did an amazing job in making sure that I knew what would happen and easing my concerns. I have struggled with insecurity of my nose shape since young, and I am extremely satisfied with the results thus far. The most important thing is to do your own research and let the doctor know and he delivered perfectly. Lastly, the aftercare of Yanhee Hospital is really one of the top-notch I’ve seen. They constantly make sure you’re comfortable and do their utmost best to ensure and minimize any discomfort. I highly recommend Dr. Kriangkrai and his team.
I thank all the workers at Yanhee Hospital for the good treatment and professionalism from the moment I entered the hospital until the time I left. As for the results of the operation, they are so amazing that the mind almost cannot believe them. Many thanks and appreciation to you.
