ABOUT DR. PARCELLS

MESSAGE TO MY PATIENTS

As a female plastic surgeon, I am passionate about advocating for women’s health and empowerment.

Most women today are looking to retain their youthful appearance and not look like they have had “work done.” I take pride in addressing each patient’s individual concerns so we can formulate a strategy together in order for you to look and feel your best. I tailor my technique to each individual patient’s desire because no two women are the same, nor should we be!

As someone trained in the modern era of plastic surgery, I utilize the most advanced surgical and nonsurgical techniques in order to achieve natural, beautiful results. Surgery is not always the answer, and often we can combine small nonsurgical procedures with or without a surgery in order to obtain a best result.

In addition to my aesthetic practice, I am passionate about treating my breast cancer patients, helping them to restore wholeness after lumpectomy or mastectomy through breast reconstruction. Because I believe every patient requires an individual approach to treatment, I offer cutting edge techniques in breast reconstruction. Additionally, I have created a website, www.bravebras.org, specifically for breast cancer patients so they can better understand their reconstructive options.
