Answer 1

1. Go to a good college, doesn't really matter which one, just make sure you get stellar grades. 4 years
2. While in college take the MCAT and score well.
3. Get accepted to a Medical school, get good grades and do well on your USMLE board exams. 4-5 years
4. Get accepted into residency program for General Surgery, prepare for no social life whatsoever. 7 years
5. Get accepted into a fellowship for Orthopedic Surgery. Not sure how long this would take.
6. Your a Cosmetic Surgeon

Cosmetic surgeons get paid quite a bit, just depends which area your planning to practice in. For example: Having a clinic in Hollywood would bring more money in than a clinic in a smaller and less materialistic areas. You should do volunteer work at hospitals it looks good on your med school application, or do something that is in the line of helping people. All medical schools in the US are excellent.

Answer 2

4 years pre-med (bio chemistry, bio physics, biology) 4 years medical schoo, 1 year internship and 3 - 5 years residence in plastic surgery.

They get paid quite well. A starting 'hack' can probably get over $100- $125,000 per year at some clinic.

Best schools include Univ Boston, Columbia, Harvard, Yale, USC, UCLA, Univeristy of Chicago,

Answer 3

I'm sure you can find a doctor to shadow, but don't think of this as an intermship. The normal route is to go to college, then medical school, then either general or ENT surgery residency, then plastics fellowship Once your practice is established, you can expect to make in excess of $250,000 per year, but income depends on your practice. This isn't like a salary from the local burger franchise.
