Becoming a Breast Reconstruction Doctor
It takes a lot of work to become a
breast reconstruction doctor. Plastic surgery doctors start their work in undergraduate school taking premed requirements. After, the future breast reconstruction doctor must graduate a plastic surgery institute and become a board certified plastic surgeon.

premed requirements. Not only do plastic surgery doctors have to take the courses, but they must do well in the classes. Good grades will allow them to get into a plastic surgery institute and become a board certified plastic surgeon. Some premed requirements plastic surgery doctors take are:
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Anatomy

After doing well in premed requirements, a future breast reconstruction doctor must attend and graduate from a
plastic surgery institute. It is here where plastic surgery doctors get specialty training beyond premed requirements. At a plastic surgery institute, a future breast reconstruction doctor should expect to:
- Take specialty courses related to premed requirements
- Train with a board certified plastic surgeon
- Intern with a breast reconstruction doctor
Become a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
The last step in becoming a breast reconstruction doctor becoming a
board certified plastic surgeon. To do this, plastic surgery doctors must graduate from a plastic surgery institute, do years of additional training with a breast reconstruction doctor, and take a number of written and oral exams. After the future surgeon passes the exams, only then is he a board certified plastic surgeon.
