About Dr. Kuisle
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 grafting to restore facial volume lost in the aging process. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can enhance fat grafting survival by increasing healing, natural biological chemicals that attract and activate stem cells to further support the healing process.Today, Dr. Kuisle concentrates on his expertise and skill in the field of cosmetic plastic surgery and reconstruction of complex deformities, such as breast cancer reconstruction. He uses the newest facial rejuvenation techniques, including short scar and modified face lift, endoscopic techniques, and laser resurfacing. Various non-invasive laser and intense pulsed light technologies compliment the surgical procedures for skin rejuvenation.
Minimally invasive injectables such as Botox, Hyaluronic Acid, and Radiesse fillers can both delay and compliment more invasive surgical options. They can also be combined with regenerative medicine techniques to complement and enhance their results. 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.

About Dr. Hartley
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.
