General Surgery
Dr. Akers is a board certified plastic surgeon, via the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He graduated from the Wright State University School of Medicine in 1995, and completed his residency in General Surgery in Dayton, Ohio in 2000. He completed his fellowship in Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery at Medical College of Ohio, Toledo in 2002.
Hand Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery is a procedure performed to correct abnormalities caused by defect or trauma of the body part. This type of surgery is normally covered by insurance.

Plastic Surgeons

Brow Lift
Facelift is a procedure performed in order to reverse the effects of age, gravity, exposure to the sun, and daily stress by removing excess fat, tightening facial muscles, and readjusting the facial skin. A facelift is also an excellent procedure for those with excess skin hanging from the neck or jowls. A facelift may be done in combination with other facial procedures such as a forehead lift (brow lift), eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty), or a nose job (rhinoplasty.)
Eyelid Surgery
The area surrounding the eyes is one of the first to show the signs of aging. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, corrects for sagging upper eyelids and for the bags that form just below the eyes. Eyelid surgery can wash away years of aging, giving your eyes a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Liposuction
Inherited traits often prevent people from achieving their desired body shape. Even years of exercise may not yield significant or noticeable results in certain people. For many, the answer is liposuction, a surgical procedure which extracts fat from specific areas of the body. Following the procedure, patients can expect a slimmer, more shapely figure.
Breast Augmentation
Matthew M. Akers, MD is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon practicing in Lima, Ohio. He offers a full range of plastic and reconstructive services with a special interest in cosmetic facial procedures and breast augmentation.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is designed for women who experience medical problems due to uncomfortable breasts. Problems may include back and neck pain, skin irritation, skeletal deformities, and breathing problems. Although the procedure is typically used to alleviate medical problems, it can also help women who feel self-conscious about the size of their breasts.
Breast Lift
Over time, the natural aging process can cause a woman’s breasts to sag and lose their shape. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and cosmetically alters a woman’s breasts. After the procedure, women can expect firmer, more shapely and youthful looking breasts.
Rhinoplasty
His active involvement in academic and community medicine includes participation in the 19th Annual Dallas Rhinoplasty and Facial Aesthetic Symposium 2002 and in 2001 participated in the Maxillofacial Reconstructive Course in Clearwater, Florida. During his surgical training Dr. Akers traveled to Haiti where he volunteered his surgical skills, and to Lima, Peru where he repaired cleft palates and treated burn victims.
Breast Reconstruction
For many women diagnosed with breast cancer, mastectomy, or breast removal, is an unfortunate and inescapable option. Women who have undergone this surgery can choose to have breast reconstruction. This procedure recreates the size and shape of the patient’s natural breast and can renew a woman’s sense of beauty and femininity.
Plastic Surgery
Dr. Akers understands this and knows how important a decision it will be for you. As a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, you can trust that Dr. Akers is trained and experienced in all areas of plastic surgery.
Face Lift
Facelift is a highly individualized procedure that your surgeon will tailor to your unique bone structure, skin texture, and underlying muscle tone. Facelifts do not improve skin texture, although they can be done in conjunction with procedures that do improve texture, such as laser or chemical skin peels.
Neck Lift
Intended for individuals with loose or sagging neck skin, wrinkles, and large jowls, neck lift is a relatively minor procedure that can have a profound effect on appearance.
Blepharoplasty
Abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that extracts surplus fat and tissue from the abdominal region. It is especially helpful for men who retain excess weight in their midsections and for women who have undergone multiple pregnancies. Following abdominoplasty, patients can expect a flatter, more contoured, and more visually satisfying stomach.
Breast Surgery
Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure used to increase the size and/or alter the shape of a woman’s breasts through the use of an artificial implant. Women may choose to have this operation either as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery, to balance different sized breasts, or to enhance the contours of the body. Whatever the specific purpose, women who undergo breast augmentation can expect larger, firmer, and more visually satisfying breasts.
Body Contouring
Body contouring involves the reshaping of undesirable parts of the patient’s body through the use of plastic surgery. The surgeon combines various procedures to alter the shape of the body. The most common techniques used are liposuction and abdominoplasty
Cosmetic Surgery
Plastic surgery includes both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Cosmetic surgery is a procedure that is performed to reshape a part of the body in order to improve the patient’s appearance and self-esteem, and is not normally covered by health insurance.
Facial Implants
Facial features are an important and highly visible aspect of a person’s physical appearance. For those who want a more balanced face or stronger features, facial implants may be the answer. Implants placed in the chin, jaw, or cheek will create a more pronounced, contoured, and striking face.
Forehead Lift
A browlift, or forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that smoothes out the forehead, while raising the upper eyelids and reducing frown lines. The procedure is one of the least complicated and least painful of all cosmetic surgeries. A forehead lift erases many of the effects of aging, leaving you with a smoother, more youthful looking appearance.

Sports Medicine
“It’s very clear that a little bit of exercise makes a big difference,” says Carol Ewing Garber, author of the American College of Sports Medicine’s new guidelines on quantity and quality of exercise for adults. “The recommendation to get 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity exercise is still one of the goals, but the message needs to be heard that doing less is also helpful.”
