About Our Battle Creek and Portage Plastic Surgery Practice
When looking for plastic surgeons in Grand Rapids, Battle Creek or Kalamazoo, experience, education
and skill are some of the most important considerations. The two board-certified plastic surgeons
at Great Lakes Plastic & Hand Surgery, Dr. Scott Holley and Dr. Raghu Elluru, serve women and men
seeking cosmetic and plastic surgery for a wide range of reasons. Our doctors are highly regarded
specialists in their field, yet take the time to provide compassionate care and a down-to-earth approach
during consultation, surgery, recovery and beyond.

Breast Enhancement
Our doctors perform a number of breast enhancement procedures to change the size, shape, volume,
position, or symmetry of the breasts. Some of the options and techniques include:
Breast Augmentation or Reduction: A popular option at the practice, breast augmentation uses
either saline or silicone gel breast implants to increase volume and improve breast contour. Dr.
Holley or Dr. Elluru will take the time to discuss implant options and make a recommendation
based on your anatomy and goals. If you instead feel that your breasts are too large, the doctors
can perform breast reduction, which reduces physical pain and can improve your self-image.
Breast Lift: Dr. Holley and Dr. Elluru may use one of three basic approaches for lifting the
breasts: the circumareolar, lollipop, and anchor incision technique. Women with minor breast
sagging may benefit from the circumareolar technique, which leaves minimal scarring, while
more extensive sagging often requires an incision around the areola, down to the base of
the breast and along the breast crease (anchor incision) for maximum lift and reshaping.
Other Plastic Surgery Procedures
Dr. Holley and Dr. Elluru help a wide range of Battle Creek and Kalamazoo cosmetic surgery and
reconstructive surgery patients. Other cosmetic procedures they perform include tummy tucks
(abdominoplasty), liposuction, facelifts, eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty.
Recognized authorities in the area of hand reconstruction, both Dr. Holley and Dr. Elluru perform
many other reconstructive surgery procedures. They can reconstruct places on the body affected by
skin cancer, perform breast reconstruction for women who have had a mastectomy, and revise the
appearance of complex wound and burn scars. Doctors throughout the area routinely recommend
patients to Great Lakes Plastic & Hand Surgery for the most challenging reconstructive surgery cases.

treat skin discoloration. These include:
Injectable Treatments: BOTOX® Cosmetic, JUVÉDERM®, Radiesse® and Prevelle™
