What happens when women become the people shaping beauty culture?

Today on The Glow Show, Dr. Alexis Parcells sits down with Dr. Christina Pasick, a plastic surgeon and colleague at Parcells Plastic Surgery, for a candid conversation about female plastic surgeons, patient trust, surgical training, motherhood, cosmetic surgery, reconstruction, and what women are really asking for when they walk into a consultation.

Together, they discuss how working inside aesthetics changes the way you understand beauty, why plastic surgery is so much more than celebrity transformations, and what it means to care for women through decisions that are deeply personal, emotional, and often years in the making.

They discuss:

✨ Why all-women plastic surgery practices can feel different for patients

✨ How Dr. Pasick found plastic surgery during medical school

✨ Why mentorship and kindness can shape an entire career

✨ The difference between academic plastic surgery and private practice

✨ Why cosmetic surgery is more complex than people often assume

✨ How motherhood, pregnancy, and body changes influence the way women think about surgery

✨ Why revision cases require emotional processing, communication, and careful planning

✨ What patients often misunderstand before a plastic surgery consultation

✨ Why the culture of a practice matters as much as the procedure itself

✨ How trust, honesty, and communication shape the patient experience

This conversation is about more than breast surgery, tummy tucks, revision work, or surgical training. It is about the women behind the beauty industry, the responsibility of shaping beauty culture thoughtfully, and the importance of creating a space where patients feel understood, informed, and never judged.
