Plastic Surgeon

Duties and Responsibilities:

Plastic surgeons are medical professionals, specializing in the correction or restoration of form and function of damaged or malformed areas of the body. Plastic surgery includes many types of reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns. Plastic surgery, as a specialty, evolved remarkably during the 20th century in the United States, gaining increasing importance during the treatment of World War I soldiers with complex maxillofacial injuries.

Salary: $286,000- $424,000 yearly

Education:

Like all physicians, plastic surgeons spend many years in training, beginning with four years of college. This is followed by four years of medical school and a residency training program. Most residencies in plastic surgery take a minimum of five years and may last seven or more years. Plastic surgeons who want to pursue a subspecialty need at least one additional year of training. They must also be licensed, and many are also board-certified.

    

I wouldn't like to work in this field because there is always the possibility that it might look worse.
