Dr. Aker is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Indiana who specializes only in cosmetic plastic surgery. He has been providing honest, ethical and compassionate care since 1996.

He is affiliated with several area hospitals, is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, an active member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgery.
