Dr.Damkerng Pathomvanich, MD., FACS

After he completed his Internship in Chicago and surgical residency in New York, he passed the American Board of Surgery and became a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He moved to start his surgical practice in Kona, Hawaii. He wanted to learn more about cosmetic surgery. He underwent a one-year fellowship training program in cosmetic surgery at the Centre of Cosmetic Surgery in Little Rock, Arkansas, sponsored by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS). At this centre, he was trained in liposuction, facelift, blepharoplasty and much more related to cosmetic surgery under Dr James D Billie. He was also trained in Hair Restoration Surgery at Stough Medical Associates, Hot Spring, Arkansas, under Drs. Bluford and Dow Stough. At Stough Medical Associates, he has learnt scalp reduction, flap, round grafts, split grafts, quarter grafts, mini grafts and single hair grafts. During his one year of training, he was able to see post-op results that/who were operated on many years ago, and he recalled many happy patients who brought in their old pictures that were bald for comparison. After his fellowship, he visited many cosmetic and hair clinics in the US and decided to relocate his practice to Thailand. He received an American Board of Cosmetic Surgery Certificate.

He was the pioneer who brought the hair transplantation technique, which he had learnt from the US to Thailand; it was published in the ISHRS Hair Forum International. He started to teach physicians who were interested in hair restoration surgery and was appointed by ISHRS as the director of the fellowship training program in hair restoration surgery in 2008. He has trained many physicians worldwide. He passed the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery in 2003. He has been a member of ISHRS since 1993. During his practice, he reported his open technique for strip harvesting to minimise follicular transection and scar and was published in ISHRS Hair Forum International. He, with his fellow Bertram Ng, invented the laser hairline device to make the hairline symmetric. It was presented at the ISHRS Annual Scientific Meeting in Amsterdam in July 2009 and was published in the textbook Hair Transplantation in Asians (Springer). These led him to receive the Golden Follicle Award at the 18th ISHRS Annual Scientific Meeting in Boston in 2010 for his outstanding achievement and remarkable contribution to the field of hair restoration surgery for more than 20 years.

He was appointed to the Board of Governors of ISHRS for a 3-year term.
He is a renowned hair transplant surgeon and has authored/co-authored several textbooks in the field of hair restoration surgery, e.g., Practical Aspect of Hair Restoration Surgery in Asians, Hair Restoration Surgery in Asia, Alopecia, Hair Transplant 360 etc. and many publications in the medical journal.

He was invited to speak in hair restoration surgery meetings all over the world for the past 20 years as a speaker, moderator and panellist. He was appointed the chairman of the 22nd ISHRS Annual Scientific Meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2014.

He was the founder, member and first president of the Asian Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons (AAHRS) and received the Asian Follicle Award in Korea in 2013. He was the Chair of AAHRS and CAHRS Hair Meeting in Beijing and also a speaker and moderator at 26th ISHRS World Congress in Hollywood in 2018.

He attended most of the ISHRS Annual Scientific Meeting and missed only 3 out of 26 since its inception in 1993 and attended all AAHRS Annual Meeting since 2010.

Dr.Pathomvanich uses his laser hairline device to assist him in designing the new hairline for each patient to frame and balance his or her face for symmetry. He paid particular attention to those with extensive baldness since the donor’s hair is limited and the design is more difficult. He won the hairline design contest voted by the audiences at the ISHRS meeting in Alaska in 2011.

For donor harvesting, he continued to refine his technique in FUT and FUE to minimize follicular damage or transection, thus minimising the scar and more grafts received for the patient’s outcome. For placing grafts, he has developed a new device to minimize graft injury during placing. His new dilator device, which he has developed and used for the past 2 years, has made it easy to place the graft. The dilated slits from the dilator made a good housing for the grafts to live and assure good grafts survival. It was presented at 26th ISHRS World Congress Meeting in Hollywood in 2018.
