Dr. Vatee Nakakes
Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery
About
Dr. Vatee Nakakes is an Anesthesiologist with a broad scope of specialization and is one of the most important members of the surgical team that maintains patient safety at the JCI accredited Asia Cosmetic Hospital. The surgeons are the ones who transform the physical appearance of patients undergoing cosmetic procedures while Dr. Nakakes handles the "hidden" part of the process by ensuring that the patient is comfortable, has as little pain as possible, and remains physiologically stable during this time. As a result of his ability to customize anesthesia protocols to fit the specific needs of large volumes of high-end aesthetic surgical cases (such as facial contouring and/or multiple-stage gender reassignment), he is widely recognized as one of the top Anesthesiologists in the country. The exceptional bedside manner of Dr. Nakakes, combined with his extremely calm nature, allows him to provide reassurance to many anxious international patients prior to their cosmetic surgeries. Dr. Nakakes works closely with the cardiologists and lead surgeons at the Asia Cosmetic Hospital to continue the hospital's impressive 0% post-operative complication rate due to anesthesia issues.

Everything about the medical team was top-tier. Dr. Nakakes is known for his compassionate bedside manner. He took the time to listen to my fears about anesthesia and tailored a plan that left me with no complications. Professional and vigilant care.

The hospital follows JCI standards, and having a dedicated anesthesiologist like Dr. Nakakes who stays with you the whole time is a game-changer. I felt very safe. The nurses were gentle and the doctor was in a good mood and smiling, which helps when you are nervous.

Prior to surgery, they addressed all my numerous questions. Dr. Vatee was especially thorough in explaining the sedation process. I felt secure and calm. The recovery was difficult due to swelling, but the pain management during the first 48 hours was excellent.

I had bilateral liposuction on my thighs and a breast augmentation. Asia Cosmetic Hospital took care of me very well. My surgery took 5 hours and I was able to be discharged the next day. The anesthesia was managed perfectly—I woke up feeling clear-headed without the usual grogginess.
