You have a lot of work ahead of you. After four years of college (usually as a Biology or chemistry major) , if you have very good grades and pass the MCAT exam, you have to apply to medical school.

That schooling takes four years. Then there will be 4-5 more years as a resident in surgery with a subspecialty in plastic surgery. Some times the 4 years of med school and 4-5 of specialty training are called the Dead Decade since you will have no 'life'.

Then you will have to find a group that are looking for a new doctor. You will be around 28-30 by then and can begin to relax a little. But sometimes, the senior partner will be wanting to take time off and you will be given extra work. Doctors do not make overtime. Finally you will either be offered a junior partnership or told you do fit in.
