I got them done because after I had my child they had become really streached out.and had no fat left in them after.

Dr.Jeneby seemed like a great doctor met all my requirements. I had a breast aug. last yr and within a couple weeks had problem, I got an infection from my incision not being closed which I beleve caused me to for a capsule. my ports were left in a whole yr instead of 6 month.

I tried to speak with him about my right breast being in my collar  bone and my left one hard like a rock and lower. He was very rude to me and I felt like he didnt care enough since I had paid him up front. I spoke to him about getting them fix but that was like nearly impossible so I filed a complaint, and the BBB got in contact with him.

I decided to give him another chance since he explained what went wrong and what he was going to do to fix them. So I had to repay again not as much but still enough, and this was a yr after I had goten them done origanaly, so now I am almost at my 2nd yr with his implants and I cannot say I like them at all. I feel like I have a weight hanging off of my chest on my left side and on my right one everytime I do something my right one is a burden.

I am really upset with how things went so I spoke to another doctor and my implants are suppose to be under the muscle and only my right one is and my left one just sit in  the skin on my chest they feel compleatly different and they look horriable I would even love to post pic for those who are concerned just so you know what to ask for and research.

I was so excited to have my implants and feel good about myself again but I must say I regret getting them done by him twice. Now I am in a rut and dont know what to do, I have no choice but to grin and bare it till I can find someone to fix my mess and pay for them again.

I'm so sorry your result wasn't what you'd hoped! You might want to check out RealSelf's breast implant revision community to read about other women who've been through similar experiences.

I'd love to see a photo to visualize what you're describing. Let me know if you need help putting one up.

Hang in there and please keep us posted on your journey and how it progresses.

Sorry for your unhappy results. Actually the right breast appears to have a capsule and the left has dropped into its normal position. A lift in addition to the aug may have been the way to go.

So sorry to hear. I had the same experience. Write him a letter for refund and tell him why he failed you as a surgeon. He doesn't respond, consult with attorney for breach of contract. It is sickening how plastic surgeons could just walk away and stick us with the next bill for revision.
January 4, 2012
so he can get into trouble for not responding? Did you do the same thing? I really does suck and every time I have tried to talk to him about it he acts as if the mis placement of them is my fault I have already talked to a couple mmp attorneys but its hard for anyone to pick up my case and they said by the time Its all said and done I would not get anything back from it

I also had adjustable breast augmentation with Dr J. I was disappointed with the final result, I also spoke with him in regards how my breast were not symmetrical... One breast is larger than the other, he's responds was" you asymmetrical breast to begin with...." if you like to make them even there's a extra cost"! He made me feel ignorant, I paid over 5,700, got a campy job done. Have heard from other patients that they were unhappy with end results as well. Oh by the way, I have a visible scar on my left breast, so noticeable its embarrassing when I'm with my partner...

I had gone in with him and he told me how my left was smaller than my right and still filled the left smaller than the right although he acknowledged it himself. I was okay with it because I could adjust it with my adjustable implant but haven't even had the chance to adjust it because I caught a staph infection on the right which I originally complained about several times for being rock hard and the port constantly feeling uncomfortable and my incision with a small opening

When you write a letter to surgeon that your want a refund because you need a revision because of his mistakes he needs to report that claim to his Insurance company. If he doesn't respond to your letter, keep seeking for a attorney. You will find one. Did he reuse the same implant in your revision surgery? If so can you send me a private message. Plastic Surgeons are telling patients it is okay to reuse them, when that information is not true.
January 5, 2012
no he made me pay for them again but he filled them compleatley different. But nowing him since they were adjustable implants he may have just taken the ports out and resued them to be honest I never sat back and thought about that. Thanks for the info i will be looking for an attorney and writing him a letter

I wonder if you could contact the BBB, The American Board of Plastic Surgery,The Joint Commission and even San Antonio Today to express your unhappiness and his unwillingness to correct his mistake. "elective cosmetic" surgery should not be held to any less of a higher quality than emergency surgery.. Im sure there is some regulatory agency that keeps track of this.

I've had a similar experience with bottoming out of the implants and just 3 wkd ago had a revision with a different surgeon who used strattice. Strattice was the key for me. My tissue just wouldn't hold an implant under the muscle without it. So far so good. Maybe you can look into it? Im sorry for ur experience. This was my 2nd revision surgery so I understand how horrible this can be. Don't give up. Sometimes it takes more than a couple surgeries to get it right unfortunately
