Dr. Raghu Elluru

Plastic Surgeon in Portage

Local Care You Can Trust

Thank you for visiting my website, and for checking out my training and experience! As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Portage, and co-founder and partner at the former Great Lakes Plastic and Hand Surgery practice, I’ve been blessed to have met thousands of men and women in Southwest Michigan who are seeking state-of-the-art plastic surgery and non-surgical enhancements.

Education

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Austin College in Sherman, Texas before earning my medical doctorate from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. A five-year General Surgery residency followed at Indiana University Medical Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. I then pursued a two-year fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive surgery, also at the Indiana University Medical Center. At Indiana University, I was privileged to study under nationally recognized surgeons to refine my skills in Hand Surgery, Microsurgery, Burn Surgery, and Cosmetic Surgery.

Expertise

I had extensive exposure to all aspects of reconstructive surgery at University Hospital, Riley Children’s Hospital and Wishard Burn Institute, which serve as a referral center for the entire state of Indiana, as well as neighboring states. I also received significant exposure to aesthetic surgery at the Perkins Cosmetic Institute in Indianapolis before completing a one-year fellowship in hand and microsurgery at the Christine Kleinert Institute in Louisville, Kentucky, considered one of the best hand surgery training centers in the world.

Professional Memberships

Whether you are considering a cosmetic or reconstructive procedure, you need to be confident that your plastic surgeon in Portage has the training and credentials to meet your needs.

I am board certified in plastic surgery, hand surgery, and general surgery. I also consistently maintain my knowledge base by regularly attending scientific meetings through the following organizations, of which I am a member:

  • American Society of Plastic Surgeons
  • The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
  • American Medical Society
  • Michigan State Medical Society
  • Kalamazoo Academy of Medicine
  • American College of Surgeons

Personalized Care for Every Patient

A quality plastic surgeon works to build lifelong relationships with his patients through open, honest communication, a compassionate bedside manner, and a desire to deliver superior surgical outcomes. I will take the time to understand your situation fully before crafting a surgical plan to fulfill your unique goals and desires.

Because it’s my goal to provide thoughtful, attentive, and personal care to each patient, I make myself available to answer questions at every stage of your procedure.

As a plastic surgeon in Portage, I’m privileged to be part of an excellent medical community, and proud to use my extensive training to help you enhance the way you look and feel about yourself. I understand that the decision to have cosmetic surgery is an important one and cannot be taken lightly. I balance understanding, open, honest communication, and precise surgical techniques to offer individualized solutions tailored to each of my patients’ needs. With each patient, I aim to provide the highest level of patient satisfaction by achieving as natural and harmonious a result as possible.

Outside the Office

My family and I have called Southwest Michigan our home since 1998. When I am not working with my plastic surgery patients, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four children at our home in Kalamazoo.

I am an active member of a local church, and my hobbies include running, biking, boating, playing golf, and skiing.
