Independently assessed by Bea Siriwat
Last reviewed 11 July 2026 · How we evaluate
Rattinan is a specialist clinic, not a hospital, and that focus is its strength. With over 14,000 BodyTite treatments and AACI accreditation (the first ambulatory plastic surgery centre in Asia-Pacific to achieve this), Rattinan has built deep expertise in body contouring and post-bariatric body sculpting. Located in Bangkok's central Silom district, steps from the BTS.

Our Assessment of Rattinan Clinic
If your goal is body contouring rather than surgery in general, Rattinan is the most focused choice in Bangkok, and the specialisation runs deep enough to matter. The lead surgeon's volume on radiofrequency body-contouring devices is the kind of procedure-specific track record that separates a genuine specialist from a clinic that merely offers the service.
The trade-off is that Rattinan is a clinic on the 12th floor of a commercial building, not a hospital. There is no emergency department, no ICU, and no overnight ward. For major procedures, patients are transferred to an affiliated JCI-accredited hospital.
This is fine for the procedures Rattinan specialises in, but patients wanting full hospital infrastructure should look elsewhere.
Who Rattinan Clinic Is Best For
In one sentence, Rattinan Clinic is the right choice for body contouring and post-bariatric patients who accept mid-range tier pricing. The lists below tell you whether that is you.
Best suited for

- Patients who value a central Bangkok location near BTS

How Rattinan Clinic Compares
Rattinan occupies a niche as a specialist body contouring and bariatric clinic. Here is how it compares to the hospitals that offer broader cosmetic surgery services.
Rattinan Clinic vs Bumrungrad International Hospital
Bumrungrad is a full-service premium hospital with comprehensive emergency and ICU infrastructure. Rattinan is a specialist clinic without overnight capability. For body contouring specifically, Rattinan has higher procedure volume and deeper technology expertise. For anything requiring hospital-level care, Bumrungrad is the safer environment.

Common Questions About Rattinan Clinic
What patients typically want to know before choosing this hospital
How We Evaluated Rattinan Clinic
Our editorial team independently researched Rattinan Medical Center. No clinic can pay to be listed here, ranked higher or reviewed favourably. Here is what we assessed.
These checks are desk-based. We verify against the issuing bodies' registers and the hospital's own published materials rather than a hospital-arranged visit, and no hospital has any say in what we publish. Read the full methodology.
We verified Rattinan's AACI Excellence Award and 98% score, and its Ministry of Public Health licence, directly through the clinic's published accreditation page. We could not confirm a separate ISO 14644-1 clean room certification, so it is not claimed here.
We verified Dr Suthipong's MD from Mahidol University, his BodyTite procedure volume, and Dr Panot's Cleveland Clinic bariatric training. Supporting surgeon credentials were confirmed through published profiles.
The clinic has dedicated international coordinators, free virtual consultations, and hotel partnerships. Communication channels (WhatsApp, LINE) are responsive and well-organised.
Post-operative observation is provided at the clinic for outpatient procedures. Major surgery aftercare is delivered at partner hospitals. Follow-up scheduling is structured and included in packages.
Rattinan publishes price lists on their website and offers bundled packages. Pricing is clear, though advanced techniques (BodyTite, VASER) cost significantly more than standard liposuction.
Body contouring results are consistently praised. The most common concern is that Rattinan is a clinic rather than a hospital, which some patients find less reassuring, though outcomes and safety records are strong.
How we make money. Hospitals cannot pay for placement, ranking or a favourable review anywhere on this site. We earn a coordination fee from the hospital only when you choose to book through us, and it never changes your price. That conflict is why we publish our evaluation criteria and sources on every profile, and link accreditations to the issuing bodies.
If you believe any information on this profile is inaccurate or outdated, please contact our editorial team and we will check it against the source.
