POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
This has been a long time coming. 🎙️

Six months post-surgery, and just like @drdhivyasrinivasa says in this clip, I'm in a completely different phase of life. I can finally see the light she told me about when I was in the thick of my breast cancer journey.

This episode is one of the most value-packed conversations I've had on this podcast. We're covering:

✨ The breast reconstruction options you actually have (not just what you're told)
✨ The truth about sensation preservation
✨ How to choose your surgical dream team
✨ Navigating insurance when you find the right surgeon
✨ What the silver lining really looks like
✨ Her health-inclusive skincare line, @avarawell

Dr. Dhivya Srinivasa is double board-certified in General Surgery and Plastic Surgery with fellowship training in microsurgery. She's the founder of The Institute for Advanced Breast Reconstruction @the.iabr in Los Angeles. And she gave me my life back.

If you're facing breast reconstruction or supporting someone who is, this episode will change everything.

When people hear "out of network," they panic. But @drdhivyasrinivasa says becoming an out of network doctor brought her freedom—freedom to practice the way she wants, to spend as much time as her patients need, and to do everything she can to get them the best result possible without watching the clock.

In this clip from The Creating Sunshine Podcast, she breaks down exactly how she and her team help women navigate insurance so they can get the care they deserve without the financial burden.

Tomorrow's full episode drops and we're covering:

✨ Why the breast surgeon and plastic surgeon are your "dynamic duo" and how to pick your Avengers
✨ The many reconstruction options you have (because you're told there's only one way when there really isn't)
✨ How we went from being told I'd lose my nipples, my lymph nodes, need tissue expanders, and over a year of surgeries—to a completely different outcome with natural tissue, nipple-sparing surgery, and hidden scars
✨ The truth about sensation preservation that most women never hear
✨ What the silver lining looks like when you're six months out and finally feeling like yourself again
✨ Why she created Avara, her health-inclusive skincare line for women going through something

Dr. Srinivasa is double board-certified in General Surgery and Plastic Surgery with fellowship training in microsurgery. She founded The Institute for Advanced Breast Reconstruction  @the.iabr and 60% of her patients travel to see her.

She's the surgeon who gave me my life back. If you're facing breast reconstruction or know someone who is, save this episode. It drops tomorrow. 🎙️

Gut check. Vibe check. Always.
