Override constructor

Is it possible to override a constructor? I want to take my code: 
public class BusinessException
{
  public BusinessException(int age)
  {
  }
}
public class BusinessException
{
  public BusinessException(int age)
  {
  }
}
and translate it to: 
public class BusinessException
{
  private int age;

  public BusinessException(int age)
  {
    this.age = age;
  }
}
public class BusinessException
{
  private int age;

  public BusinessException(int age)
  {
    this.age = age;
  }
}
In the example, I add a private field age, but if it's not possible it's ok, I'll be happy with just overriding the constructor

You cannot litterally override a constructor, however you can add statements at the beginning of it, so your use case can be covered. This is called an initializer. See https://doc.metalama.net/conceptual/aspects/advising/initializers.
