Kansas plastic surgeon has license suspended by emergency state order
A plastic surgeon in Manhattan, Kansas, has had his license temporarily suspended by the state Board of Healing Arts, according to an emergency order issued this week.
The Kansas Board of Healing Arts issued an emergency order to temporarily suspend Kenneth A. Fischer’s professional license on Wednesday.
Records detailing the reason for the suspension were not immediately available.
Fischer is listed as a board-certified plastic surgeon for The Plastic Surgery Clinic, which is located in Manhattan.
A receptionist at the clinic, reached by phone Wednesday, said Fisher was unavailable and no one from the clinic could comment on the suspension.
A short online bio of Fischer says he went to medical school at the University of Kansas from 1991 to 1995 and went on to complete a fellowship and residency in plastic surgery at the University of Mississippi. Online records from the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure show Fisher also has an active license in that state.

The profile goes on to say Fischer returned to Manhattan where he had spent part of his childhood.
According to the clinic’s website, Fischer is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and “specializes in surgery of the breast and hand.” “His goal is to exceed the patient’s expectations and provide services in a friendly professional atmosphere,” the website states.
Records show that in 2019 Fischer was fined $2,500 by the state Board of Healing Arts and ordered to take a patient safety course after facing accusations of “unprofessional misconduct” in connection to his role as Medical Director at Customskin in Topeka.
Violations included allowing medical services to be performed by employees who were not licensed to perform those services and failing to keep medical records.
13 years earlier, state records show Fischer was fined $5,000 by the state Board of Healing arts for administering Botox to five friends or relatives before it was approved for human use by the Food and Drug Administration.
