Winfield Hartley, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Winfield Hartley is a native of Atlanta Georgia. His earliest introduction to plastic surgery was through his uncle, Dr. John Hartley, former president of the Southeastern Society of Plastic Surgeons. When he was fifteen years old, he spent a summer in the operating room observing his Uncle’s procedures. He has been dedicated to the specialty ever since. Dr. Hartley attended the University of Virginia for his undergraduate degree in psychology, and obtained his medical degree from Emory University in Atlanta.
He completed his general surgery training (1997-2000) and plastic surgery training (2000-2002) at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, one of the premier programs in the United States. Dr. Hartley went on to pursue additional fellowship training in Aesthetic Surgery in Melbourne Australia (2002) under Dr. Bryan Mendelson. Dr. Mendelson is highly regarded worldwide, as a leader and pioneer in facial rejuvenation surgery. Dr. Hartley completed a second fellowship in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery (2003) in Nashville, TN, under Dr. Patrick Maxwell. During his time there, he co-authored the Breast Augmentation chapter for the definitive plastic surgery textbook.
His interests are in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. He has a special focus on body contouring, liposuction, abdominoplasty and breast surgery (breast augmentation, reduction, and reconstruction). He employs several new face-lifting techniques designed to minimize scarring and shorten recovery.
Dr. Hartley is Board Certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He stays on the forefront of his specialty by attending conferences, seminars, and national meetings throughout each year. He has published articles in several major journals, and presented research at national meetings. “My wife Joy and I moved to Colorado in order to be part of a culture whose focus is on healthy outdoor living. I believe that people want to look as young as they feel. My philosophy centers on providing my patients with a more attractive and healthy appearance by enhancing their own natural attributes. In this way, patients feel better about themselves and the way they look. I find this true for both aesthetic and reconstructive patients.”
Dr. Hartley enhances his local experience in Boulder by spending one week each year on a medical mission trip to an underdeveloped country. There he has the opportunity to restore both form and function to children born with congenital anomalies such as cleft lips and palates.
Justin B. Maxhimer, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Maxhimer was born in Lake Tahoe and raised just outside of Seattle, but is now proud to call Boulder home. He attended Northwestern University where he received his B.A. in Biology and Biochemistry and went on to Rush Medical College in Chicago. He graduated from Rush with top honors from the Alpha Omega Alpha Society and also was one of a handful of medical students chosen each year for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Scholars program where he got the opportunity to receive world class research training at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
Dr. Maxhimer then completed a residency in General Surgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, the birthplace of modern surgical training, in addition to a 2-year research fellowship back at the National Institutes of Health. He then went on to complete his Plastic and Reconstructive residency at UCLA Medical Center where he learned both complex reconstructive surgery from some of the world’s leading experts and also cutting edge techniques and subtle nuances of Aesthetic Surgery from the best surgeons that Beverly Hills has to offer.
Dr. Maxhimer is double board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. He is also a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. He has published close to 30 peer-reviewed journal articles, most notably including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Annals of Plastic Surgery among other top scientific publications.
He has authored several book chapters and holds a patent on the development of a therapy that helps protect normal tissues and cells from the damaging effects of radiation. He is a member on several surgical societies, has spoken at numerous national and international meetings and has been on surgical missions, most recently to Ghana, Africa.
Dr. Maxhimer has a commitment to patients and takes pride in his caring bedside manner, meticulous attention to detail, and ability to create a natural appearance. He believes that your care should be customized to you and your body as well as your lifestyle, and gets to know all of those aspects before recommending any procedure. He strives for perfection for both his reconstructive and cosmetic patients.
An active CrossFit athlete, Dr. Maxhimer encourages patients to ask questions about their fitness and nutrition to optimize their surgical results. When not in surgery, he loves spending time with his wife, who is a nurse and someone who is a constant reminder of the caring and compassionate side of medicine, his 3 year old daughter, and his young son who is almost a bigger Broncos fan than he is.
Joshua D. Rouch, M.D.
I’m Dr. Rouch, thanks for your interest in Boulder Plastic Surgery. I am committed to helping both my cosmetic and reconstructive patients embrace the best version of themselves, and believe in the role that plastic surgery can play in that journey. I bring compassion, high attention to detail, and devotion to excellence to every case. In doing so, I strive for comprehensive care of my patients – physically, mentally and emotionally. My approach will ensure you feel fully cared for and achieve your desired outcomes.
My upbringing and training have informed my compassionate and attentive approach to your care. I was born and raised just north of Indianapolis, Indiana. As the proud son of a surgeon and a nurse, I admired their dedication to helping others and have been set on joining the medical field from a young age. I spent my undergraduate years at Vanderbilt University studying Human and Organizational Development, setting a foundation of how to work in teams and communicate effectively with others. I then attended medical school at Indiana University where I was inducted into the prestigious Gold Humanism Honor Society given to those who exhibit excellence in clinical care, leadership, compassion and dedication to service.
I moved to Los Angeles to train in general surgery at UCLA, one of the premier academic general surgery programs in the country and was voted most outstanding resident during each of my eligible years. I’m proud to have stayed at UCLA to join the world class Plastic and Reconstructive training program where I was able to hone my surgical skill through training with the country’s most eminent aesthetic and reconstructive surgeons. With such close ties to the aesthetic plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills and West Los Angeles, I developed an understanding of how to critically apprise innovative techniques, devices and materials, and bring that knowledge and skill to Boulder.
In addition, I am committed to ongoing learning and innovation. While at UCLA I spent 2 years as a tissue engineering research fellow within the UCLA Department of Bioengineering, where I was at the forefront of groundbreaking research and device development, even gaining a patent for a novel treatment of chronic wounds. So far I have authored over 25 peer reviewed publications featured in top journals such as JAMA Surgery and Plos One.
I am thrilled to join the BPS team, bringing clinical expertise, intimate knowledge of the face, breast and body, and a warm personality to take the best care of patients in and around Boulder. While not with my patients, you can find me riding my bike, snowboarding, or exploring the outdoors with my wife Mae and our two young and precious children.
Hans R. Kuisle, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Kuisle has been practicing cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery in Boulder, Colorado since 1984. He received his B.A degree in 1969 from the University of Iowa, and he earned his M.D in 1973 from Northwestern University Medical School. From Chicago, he went to Dallas, Texas where he completed a five-year internship and residency in general surgery, followed by a two-year residency in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.
He is currently an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American College of Surgeons, the Colorado State Society or Plastic Surgeons, and the Colorado State and Boulder County Medical Societies.Dr. Kuisle is Board Certified in Plastic Surgery by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and enhances his knowledge of plastic surgery by participating in many extra hours of continuing medial education each year. His plastic surgery expertise is continually complemented by interacting with, and learning from some of the best minds in the plastic surgery community, both nationally and internationally.
Dr. Kuisle is very excited by the potential of regenerative medicine, such as fat and nano fat grafting to restore facial volume lost in the aging process. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), growth factors and exosomes support superior healing and reduce downtime. These natural biologic compounds attract and activate stem cells to further support the healing process and improve results. Today, Dr. Kuisle concentrates his expertise and skill in the field of minimally invasive plastic surgery and regenerative aesthetics. He utilizes cutting edge facial rejuvenation techniques. Various non-invasive and minimally invasive Laser, Intense Pulse Light (IPL), HALO, Vivace and Plasma Pen technologies compliment the surgical procedures for skin rejuvenation. Injectables such as Botox ®, Restylane® and Juvederm®, are key to reducing unwanted facial animation, restoring volume and softening fine lines. Dr. Kuisle has often been described by his patients and colleagues as an “artist” with a needle and scalpel.
In over 40 years of surgical experience, Dr. Kuisle has developed a philosophy that strongly emphasizes the individual needs of each patient. He believes that total patient care is important to achieve the best outcome from any surgical procedure. He often asks his patients why they would trust their face or body to anyone other than a well trained, competent and board certified plastic surgeon.
Dr. Kuisle’s non-compromising attitude encourages his patients to accept only a superior level of medical care while enjoying a high degree of comfort with the style, personality, and expertise of the surgeon. Patients are always encouraged to choose a surgeon with whom they are most comfortable, and whose training, credentials, commitment, and judgement justify that choice.

Thankful for Dr. Rouch
by Heather M
Category: reviewsLast fall i was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and was referred to Dr. Rouch by my cancer surgeon for breast reconstruction. Dr. Rouch and his nurse Lana are so caring and thorough and helped me get through a very stressful time. Dr. Rouch explained my procedures in detail and was always available to answer my questions. I am very happy with my results and feel so lucky to have had Dr. Rouch as my surgeon.
Heather is the amazing!

Category: reviewsHeather is wonderful to work with and goes above and beyond! She listens carefully and always comes up with a plan to address what is on my mind. Not to mention her approach is so calm and reassuring, explaining everything she is doing throughout the treatment. Heather is an all around wonderful person who is a true professional!
Elective surgery w/ Dr. Maxhimer
by Suzanne Simmons M.D.
Category: reviewsI highly recommend this Plastic Surgery group. The Physicians are fully Board Certified M.D. Plastic Surgeons, and they have fully Board Certified M.D. Anesthesiologists doing their Anesthesia procedures. As an Internal medicine Physician, I was apprehensive as to who, exactly, would be doing my surgery, and who would be managing my airway and my anesthesia ( my Physician colleagues and I see cases more and more frequently of people who have not graduated from 4 years of Medical School, not done a minimum of 1 year of year-round Internship, not done a minimum of 3 years' year-round Residency, not done additional rigorous Fellowship training in their Surgical or Anesthesiology specialty, are not Board Certified from their national and fully accredited Specialy Board(s)and have catastrophic outcomes . A trial just occurred 2 weeks ago in Denver w/ just such a case ( Denver Post, June 14, 2023. "CO plastic surgeon acquitted of homicide in teen patient's death, convicted on lesser charges ").I was relieved to have Dr. Maxhimer explain to me that he would be doing my Surgery, and that a Board Certified Anesthesiologist would be doing my anesthesia. I was amazed at how quickly and seamlessly my surgery went. We are fortunate to have such a high level group here in Boulder. I will return to them if needed, and have referred several people to them. Thank you.
Dr. Rouch is excellent

Category: reviewsI had liposuction on my stomach and thighs and under my chin. I’ve never had any surgical procedures before so I was nervous but Dr. Rouch and his team were warm, patient and reassuring from start to finish. My result is beautiful and natural looking and I couldn’t be happier. Recovery was smooth and I felt supported at every step along the way. Highly recommend!
Heather will get you glowing!

Category: reviewsI’ve been seeing Heather for years and I’m always recommending her to everyone I know. She’s a rare combo of a wonderful person and a skilled practitioner. She’s honest and kind and always steers me in the right direction. I went to another practice in town and left because it felt like I was just a number. Heather is the exact opposite. She’s warm and cares about each client’s individual needs. She is thoughtful and patient and has great recommendations. You won’t find a better person to take care of your skin. She’s truly one of a kind!
