Since you need to get into medical school in order to become a plastic surgeon, your best bet would be to get into the best college you can possibly get into, especially one with good science programs. Once you graduate from a four-year college, you have to get into medical school, where you will go for another four years. Then you have to go for a residency in general surgery for 3-5 years, followed by another 2-3 years of residency in plastic surgery. No wonder it is so expensive!

I recommend that you matriculate at Harvard for you undergrad degree and then apply to one of the 126 or so allopathic medical schools in the USA, preferably: Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Duke, UCSF or NYU School of Medicine, among others, and then match into a direct track into plastic surgery, i.e. bypassing the traditional 5 years of surgery followed by fellowship in plastic.
The requirements are quite stringent, and this is considered a difficult specialty to match into, whether via the traditional route or the direct route. I recommend you seek the advice of a recent graduate of an accredited Plastic Surgery Residency/Fellowship or speak to a competent pre-med advisor who can guide you through the multiple hoops that one has to jump through to begin considering a career in plastic/reconstructive surgery.
Ehh, screw it... just be a great Football player and get a starting Middle Line Backer position at Appalachian State U, Marshall or even better, go to FSU and be a corner or safety.

Get your degree in medicine first since that is going to be a prerequisite. You'll also need to work as a doctor first, then go after the higher education of plastic surgeon.

Plastic doesnt usually require a surgeon but the yellow pages can probably help you out....the requirement are knowing how big or small to make the nose and how far to tuck the belly, know that and you're in....GOOD LUCK
