What does plastic surgery actually look like beyond social media?

This week on Scrubs to Stilettos, we’re joined by Dr. Alexis Parcells—board-certified plastic surgeon, founder of Parcells Plastic Surgery, and creator of SUNNIE Skin—to break down the biggest misconceptions in aesthetics and what patients should really know before considering a procedure.

From viral beauty trends to unrealistic expectations shaped by filters, Dr. Parcells shares a transparent, educational look at the world of plastic surgery—along with her journey building a practice from the ground up after major career setbacks.

We also dive into the business side of medicine, the realities of surgical training, and how becoming a mother shaped her leadership style and approach to patient care.
