Background

Dr Kenneth Buchwach practises at the Buchwach Goldstein Hair Restoration Clinic in Overland Park, Kansas, which he runs with Dr Craig Goldstein 1. The clinic says his practice is exclusively hair transplantation 2. He obtained his medical degree from the University of Missouri in 1974 and trained in otolaryngology and facial plastic surgery 3. The clinic says he has performed over eight thousand hair transplants over four decades 2. It says about half of its patients live outside the Kansas City area 4.

Procedures and techniques

The clinic says it focuses on FUE and occasionally performs FUT 1. It uses the SmartGraft suction-assisted device and says up to 3,500 grafts can be harvested in one session if necessary 5. It describes a motorised punch leaving openings of 1 mm or less, with each FUE graft checked under the microscope 4. It describes FUT as appropriate for almost all women and strongly recommends FUE for men 4. It says it treats one patient per day 6. The procedure takes most of the day under local anaesthesia, and the clinic expects full recovery in about a week 5.

Pricing

The clinic publishes a price of $5.50 per graft for both FUE and FUT 7. At that rate, 3,000 grafts would come to $16,500; this is our arithmetic, not a clinic figure 7. It says its usual case is 1,500 to 2,500 grafts 7. It does not say what the price includes 7. Payment plans are offered through Cherry 8.

Booking and aftercare

Local patients meet the doctors in person, and out-of-town patients can have a phone consultation with digital photos 4. The clinic says all consultations are done by Dr Buchwach and Dr Goldstein personally 4. It says patients can usually return to work a day or two after the procedure 5. It says growth begins after four to six months, with full results after nine months or more 5.

Credentials and memberships

He is listed as an ISHRS Full Member in Overland Park 3. The clinic says he has been an ISHRS member since its founding in 1993 2. His ISHRS listing gives board certification by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (1991) and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (1979) 3. The clinic lists him as a Fellow of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and of the American College of Surgeons 2.
