  • Summary

  • In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Dr. Dhivya Srinivasa, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializing in microsurgery and breast reconstruction. She is the founder of The Institute for Advanced Breast Reconstruction (IABR) and a fierce advocate for patient-centered care.

    They dive deep into the long-term journey of breast reconstruction, covering how weight changes, surgical revisions, and insurance mandates impact outcomes over a lifetime. Dr. Srinivasa shares why microsurgery using natural tissue can dramatically restore quality of life and explains the importance of ongoing physical and emotional support for patients. She emphasizes personal health advocacy, empowering women to seek second opinions without guilt and to prioritize their own well-being. They also explore vitamin D deficiency, nutrition, early movement post-surgery, nipple tattooing vs. reconstruction, and balancing motherhood, authenticity, and a surgical career — all while rejecting guilt and building a strong support system.
