Because I think from the employment situation. Few graduates around me find good jobs.
Plastic surgery is a high-end demand. Conventional hospitals don't have it, and even some top three hospitals don't necessarily have it. Even if they do, it will shrink badly. Therefore, when looking for a job, you will face a difficult problem. Good hospitals can't get in, poor hospitals don't want to, private hospitals should be mature and take care of newly graduated students.
Therefore, if you study plastic surgery, you must apply for a hospital with strong teachers in your area. Once you enter a weak hospital, you won't learn anything.
Plastic surgery takes a long time to be successful, so you should be mentally prepared. You may even encounter a situation where you don't even have a chance to practice your mobile phone.
Most people still take the route of scientific research, but this road, and clinic, is getting farther and farther.
I personally graduated from college in 2003. After three years of basic skills training in surgical rotation. Graduate student in 2006, graduated in 2009. 1 1 year, 17 years graduation. Independent face-to-face consultation began in 2009 and has accumulated for nearly ten years. Just get on the right track slowly.
Such a long way, give you a reference.
But if you just want to learn plastic surgery, do laser surgery, do micro-plastic surgery, and fool some people into doing some small plastic surgery, you should be able to graduate for three years.
