    Go to a good college, John Hopkins, Berkley, UCLA, UCI, major in some type of medical feild biology, anatomy once you are done, you apply for medical school, where you are then pre-med, and you go through everything to get your surgeon, so right not get good grades get involved, then get into college.

    In order to specialize in cosmetic surgery, one must first become a medical doctor (M.D.) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) by attending medical school, being a medical intern for a certain length of time, get through their residency which has a lot more responsibility. Before even attending medical school, however, one must take their pre-med courses as an undergraduate college student. Those types of courses may include biology, chemistry, biochem, organic chem, anatomy and physiology (Not ‘human anatomy’ but ‘regular’ as the ‘human anatomy’ will Not typically transfer), physics and calculus. Competition is keen and one must also take the medical college admissions test (mcat) as part of the admissions process to being accepted into medical school as well as an awesome gpa (grade point average). Good luck to you! You sound very intelligent :)

    You can’t find a straight answer because the answer you’re looking for doesn’t exist. Consider the fine arts, if you wish.
    When it comes time to plan your college courses, you’ll want to start picking through to see what the various US and Canadian medical schools are looking for. You’ll find they’re all a little different, and there’s no lock-step right way to get there. You should also take things one step at a time. It’s silly to be planning a sub-specialty when you aren’t in college, much less medical school, yet. You can calm down and take your time.
