otherwise , you can do it in INDIA itself........

all the best...........

it is possible to do Md in india and abroad.

Hello friend ...

Doctor of Medicine (MD) is a doctoral degree for physicians. The degree is granted by medical schools , colleges or the universities ..

In India , eligibility for the MD course is restricted to medical graduates holding the MBBS degree (which has a duration of five and a half years), and training is obtained in medical disciplines which are non-surgical in nature (e.g.: Internal Medicine, Radiology, Pathology, etc.). After three years of study and the successful completion of an examination which includes both theoretical and practical elements, in a pre-clinical or clinical subject of a non-surgical nature, the candidate receives an MD degree.

And in order to be eligible to apply for an MD degree from a UK or Commonwealth University one must hold either an MBBS, MBChB, or an equivalent US-MD degree and must usually have at least 5-years of postgraduate experience.

As far as I am concerned one is not eligible to do he MD degree after doing the BDS in India .

In abroad also it is not possible for the BDS candidates to do the MD degree . Only the candidates with the MBBS or the equivalent degree are eligible ...

So best of luck for future....

Yes, you can be a Facial plastic surgeon restricted to head and neck only.
Aftr Bds ,you need to pursue your Mds in oral and maxillofacial surgery (omfs)which is a three years course, surgeries like
1)orthognathic surgery
2) cleft lip and palate
3)rhinoplasty
4) liposuction restricted to head and neck
you can also go for super speciality ( mch fr medical student)
One can do fellowship in branches like viz
1) head and neck oncology
2) trauma
3) plastic surgery
4) implantology
5)oral oncology
Hey ,the first face transplant in the world was done by an omfs surgeon
Chillax, omfs does better job than ent or plastic surgeon for that matter
You guys( bds) studied head and neck region for 5 yrs , in addition with an mds degree in omfs ( that would be 5+3= 8) but leave the tonsils to us 😄
