As a woman and a mother to two young daughters, there’s nothing Dr Alexis Parcells is more passionate about than helping and being vocal about women’s health as well as empowerment.
She’s a board-certified plastic surgeon helping women feel empowered and comfortable in their own skin and bodies. She is a proud owner of Parcells Plastic Surgery and is also known to be an active volunteer for several breast cancer organizations like the Breasties and Minette’s Angels.
She also has authority in the space with several textbooks and professional journal articles published.
Dr Alexis Parcells first became interested in plastic surgery at a young age after taking a medical mission to Morocco at just 16 years old which she considers to be an eye-opener.
Ever since she saw how the lives of children and their families changed as a result of a simple 1-hour operation, she became passionate about being able to perform that type of change in the lives of her future patients and then committed herself to a career in medicine which she knew would require focus and tons of hard work.
Although her passion was sparked, her journey
ahead was quite challenging. She’s always struggled to perform well on standardized tests and wasn’t able to get accepted to medical schools in America.
She chose to ultimately study at St. George’s University and matched into Rutgers New Jersey Medical School’s Plastic Surgery Residency. Since graduating, she has become a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon and has opened her own clinic where she practises, known as Parcells Plastic Surgery.
Although Plastic surgery is a very well-established field of medicine at this point in time, it is not accepted in society. There’s a stigma around plastic surgery that Dr Parcells is aiming to change.
She wants women to feel empowered rather than ashamed of their choice to have a botox treatment or breast lift, and it’s been a challenge for Alexis to take this battle on herself.
She works daily to create a culture of positivity and self-love around plastic surgery and devotes time in and out of her career to doing just this. It is women’s choice is to do whatever they
feel like with their bodies and they should not be judged mainly by men and other fellow females for their choices.
