Residency is training after medical school.
If you are 23 now, then you would be 27 after medical school. The typical route is 5 years of general surgery residency first. You would be 32 then. Next is the 2 year fellowship in plastic surgery. You would now be 34.
There are some integrated plastics program out there now (you do not enter into gen surgery for this and go straight into a plastic program...this is without a doubt the hardest residency to obtain straight from med school)
