It is not too late. You do not have to redo college if you have already gone, you will just have to make up the prerequisites. The requirements for medical school are usually 1 year of general chemistry, 1 year of biology, 1 year of organic chemistry, and 1 year of physics (which will require calculus.) If you do not have a bachelor's degree, you will have to earn one, but you can do any major you like as long as you fulfill the premed requirements. (My best friend is a doctor and she was a history major at Columbia.) After that you will have to take the MCAT test and then attend a 4-year medical school and then get accepted to a hospital to do a residency.

I saw a guy who wanted to be a tiger on tv, and he got his ears pointed.  Ask a plastic surgeon.  Have fun with that.

Society has gone crazy with plastic surgery.  I think it sets a bad example for our children.  That you dont feel good about who you are and you need to change yourself to feel better. Its just makes more people feel inferior about their looks.  I wouldnt do it. Im 46.

You should go back to school first and do the skincare thing as a hobby. Be practical, bills have to be payed. Or you also could do an internet search to find a job with your current BA and then move to a better location which will leave you time to do your skincare thing.

Although the cosmetology lic. would be a start. It is good to have a little bit of knowledge on the business. Like start by renting a booth or managing a salon for a few years for the exper. so you do not dive in something you may later realize you do not want. I have had a lic. for 14-15 yrs and had my own booth and management for 10yrs. I did all that with hopes it would give me the heads up for that to be successful. And it worked, I realized it was not my passion...so glad I didn't do it right away. Taste before you eat girl.\nBest wishes.\nExperience is the best education.

I am not sure on the actual cost, but please do not get plastic surgery based on cost alone.  You could go really cheap but I just read an article about women who have done this and were horribly scarred or worse because they chose cheap doctors.  Some were in other countries and were not even licensed!  Please, if you cannot afford a good plastic surgeon, don't have it done at all!

No, 24 is not too old to start an acting career. You just need to have something about you that will stand out. Some people don't stand out until a little later anyway. Good luck to you!

I don't think that this is too old to be attending beauty school.  i work in a salon (i have not attended school myself, however) and i know many stylists who start later in life in this career path.  I also plan on going to school as soon as i can afford it, and i turn 26 in Feb!

4 years undergrad\n2 years medical school\n\nThen residency.\nThe curriculum for residency training in plastic surgery is two years. A program may be accredited for more than two years (such as in the integrated model or the independent model using a three-year format) when it is demonstrated that there is a clear educational rationale--consonant with the program requirements for residency education in plastic surgery as set by the Residency Review Committee for Plastic Surgery-\n\nEach ASPS Member Surgeon:. Has at least five years of surgical training and a minimum of two years of plastic surgery training

I'm 24... I wish I can go back to being 16 - not because life was cool at 16 but so I can retake my GCSEs, do my A Levels and have gone to university already. By now I could be in the early stages of a prosperous career...\n\nNever mind! Its never too late I guess!!!

nope- it's not too late at all.  The hospitals I have worked at, I have seen many men go through this procedure, even those in their 60's so it's never too late.  It is a procedure though that requires being in the hospital and having anesthesia.  If you go to http://www.aafp.org/afp/990315ap/1514.html there is info about the procedure- be advised further down on the page there are pics that are of the actual procedure.

I would like to be a reconstructive surgeon myself and i am currently in medical school, and im sorry to say that this type of "cosmetic" surgeon cannot be done in a hospital "legally" this is something you would have to get done by someone who does things such as slipping tongues, placing horns under the skin, and things like that which are all done with no anesthesia, so if u can stand the pain go a head, but u will have to find someone who is skilled and someone u can really trust.

Sure. It's never too late to have a career in TV or media at 52.  Why don't you look in the paper? At least look in the ads and see what they have to offer. If you have the experience, you're fine. But you might have to start at a entry- or lower-level position.  Some might offer training. But you might expect a lot of rejections.

The best way to go about finding that plastic surgeon willing to help would be to ask directly, and ask many! If it is truly something they would view as a charity situation,I'd imagine a few would do it out of kindness(and/or publicity). If it's something cosmetic to improve self-image for the patient, some offer to line up payment plans usually through local places, interest rate im sure based on the patient's credit rating. my guess would be 12% as a good example. if they wont let you ask for referrals from former patients, i would have trouble trusting them. And if it is for you personally, make sure it's important enough to you to go through a good bit of pain and recovery time before you make that decision. there are some things i could consider changing about myself, but i realize that people like me for who i am a great deal more than my appearance. whether for you or someone else, i hope I've been helpful,and have a great weekend!

I am 29 years old and I was born with a cleft palate, particularly Pierre Robin Syndrome.  I had a corrective surgery at 10 mos old and a pharyngeal flap reconstr at 12 yrs old. I also had a minor rhinoplasty at 18 yrs old.  As a child I had extensive speech therapy.  All I can say is this, as a consequence of my condition I have mitral valve prolapse and sleep apnea (loud snoring)...but overall I am fine.  I have always worked hard to look good and study hard...and am currently graduating medical school hopefully becoming a reconstructive surgeon! Support your child...every case differs in what sort of medical problems the child has..however, the emotional and psychological damage from being born 'abnormal' that can exist can be a problem...but also varies and if you are a parent...support and love your child...knowing that sky's the limit. My parents loved me and made me feel like a princess growing up...I didn't realize something was wrong until I was about 6 and was going to speech therapy without my friends...the person dealing with any adversity is changed for the better because they overcome challenges and obstacles better than the average person!!
