While most medical students major in the sciences,qualified students with backgrounds in the humanities are increasingly desirable for medical schools. Art and Psychology seem especially appropriate for plastic surgery. Biochemistry is certainly appropriate, too. The best advice is to study whatever it is that interests you the most and talk to your academic advisor to be sure you meet all the entrance requirements for the medical schools you hope to apply to.

Biochemistry would be good. You don't have to major in a science to get into medical school, but it should be something which gives you enough math and science so that you have the basics needed for medicine. I know I was recently talking to a student who wanted to be a pediatrician, but she is majoring in psychology. That would also be useful for plastic surgery, it seems to me. You just need to take electives like chemistry and biology.

You can major in anything and still get into medical school. The important thing is that you take the prerequiste "pre-med" curriculum at your school and do well in them. Med schools are probably looking not only for good grades but also a broad range of interests and classes, so don't think you just have to take science classes.

Biochemistry would work as a major. You could even take a few other courses from the biology department as well as in the chemistry department. I suppose that taking some additional math courses would help too.

If you've got room for some electives, look into taking something from the Psychology department. Ideas relating to Social Psych and/or Consumer Psych can be very influential to a person debating whether or not to get plastic surgery.

I know of a few things that you will have to have under your belt. One is the study of nerves and tissues. The other will be somthing along the line of biochemestry due to the fact that you need to know what matrials to use and how poeple will react to them. after that I lost good lick to you
