Awards

1995 — Outstanding Surgery Residency Award, Department of Surgery, Phramongkutklao Hospital, Bangkok

Board-certified in plastic surgery by the Medical Council of Thailand since 2000.

Dr. Rushapol’s approach to complex surgery is grounded in clinical practice, research and systems-based leadership that emphasise evidence, planning and teamwork. He relies on measurable facts and published research to guide surgery, focusing on patient results, complication rates, procedure time and use of resources, and uses clinical studies, hospital records and real-time operating-room data to customise care and improve protocols.

Talented in art and eager to help others

Dr. Rushapol blends a rare artistic sensibility, as he could draw the complex anatomy of a human body since he was five years old, with meticulous surgical expertise, crafting results that read like living masterpieces; his keen eye for proportion, contour, and natural harmony guides each Deep Plane facelift, rhinoplasty, and body-contouring procedure, transforming patients into more confident, refined versions of themselves while prioritizing safety, precision, and individualized care.

He also helps other doctors by teaching advanced surgical techniques and serving as a guest speaker to educate the next generation of surgeons.

His teaching focuses on practical, evidence-based methods—such as deep plane facelift approaches, refined rhinoplasty techniques, and safe body-contouring procedures—emphasizing anatomy, patient selection, and complication avoidance. Through hands-on workshops, live surgery demonstrations, and academic lectures, he mentors trainees and practicing surgeons to raise standards of care.

As a frequent guest speaker at conferences and training programs, he shares case insights, surgical pearls, and innovations in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, fostering skills and confidence in young surgeons and contributing to the broader surgical community.
