About Dr. John Aker
Dr. John Aker, MD, FACS
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. Dr. Aker brought several new techniques in cosmetic surgery to Indianapolis and Carmel including endoscopic breast augmentation, which produces natural appearing results without visible breast scars.
Wanting to expand on his general plastic surgery training at Penn State, he completed an aesthetic fellowship at NYU which primarily focused on facial cosmetic procedures. This solid foundation has enabled him to be recognized by his colleagues as an Indianapolis Monthly "Top Doc" for body and facial plastic surgery 19+ years.
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.
