OP, ignore the hate you've gotten. If you wanna be a plastic surgeon with some celebrity clients, go for it. But, chances are it will take some time even after residency until you have a name that will attract the elite. That's one of the problems with plastic surgery, because once you finish residency the most common next step is to start some form of practice. And coming from a family friend who is a plastic surgeon, it can be rough starting a practice. After all, your patients can't read or hear anything about you. You're not on any lists, and no one wants to hear that you just finished your residency a few months ago. Even with advertising (something that is looked down upon heavily in plastics circles, as they take pride in their ability to do excellent work, let it speak for itself, and use it to get more clients) it can be a slow start.
Referencing the attacks a few posters made on you, if you are familiar with Nip/Tuck, specifically the most recent season in Hollywood, remember the first few episodes of having no clients, knowing nobody, and having heart attacks equivalent to ours when we get email from medical schools just when they get a call. This part of N/T is no exaggeration.
