At the Institute for Advanced Breast Reconstruction, Dr. Dhivya Srinivasa and Dr. Nicole Gordon provide expert breast reconstruction services for patients in Bakersfield and the surrounding areas. Together, they combine technical excellence and compassionate care to help patients restore confidence, comfort, and a sense of wholeness after breast cancer.
What types of breast reconstruction are available in Bakersfield?
We offer lumpectomy, implant-based, hybrid, and autologous (flap-based) reconstruction options. Each plan is personalized to fit your anatomy, lifestyle, and treatment plan.
Can I have breast reconstruction at the same time as my mastectomy?
In many cases, yes. Dr. Gordon and Dr. Srinivasa can coordinate immediate reconstruction with your cancer surgery, depending on your medical condition and treatment goals.
What are the benefits of autologous reconstruction?
Autologous procedures use your own tissue for natural results and long-term durability. Many patients prefer this option for its realistic texture and reduced maintenance compared to implants.
How long does recovery take after breast reconstruction?
Recovery depends on the type of reconstruction performed. Our team will provide a personalized recovery plan and ongoing support to ensure a smooth healing process.
Do I need to live in Bakersfield to receive care?
No. We welcome traveling patients and can assist with accommodations for those visiting Bakersfield for their surgery.
How can I schedule a consultation?
