ADJUSTABLE SALINE IMPLANTS WOOHOO- San Antonio, TX

WORTH IT$5,300
my motivation was just to feel more confident about myself on many levels. I found my 1st consult to be discouraging after the surgeon seemed to talk down to me as if i was a child not knowing what I was doing. My daughter in law also saw him & he treated her the complete opposite, leaving her feeling very confident. So that left me feeling maybe i was 'too old' to do this & that's why he treated her better. My 2nd consult with my surgeon left me knowing for sure he was the one. Dr. Jeneby is great! Not only is he a great surgeon he is a great all around guy. he does charitable work amongst other great things for his community. HIGHLY recommend him if your in the TX area. I had Adjustable Saline implants done. i was a 36B & he said I am a full C now. I think I will go a bit bigger. In July will be my 1st adjustment appt.
So far the physical aspect has been a bit uncomfortable. at least compared to my daughter in law who had absolutely no pain or discomfort after day 1. The 1st 3 days were the toughest of course, but I did have the pain pump & I'm sure that helped alot! Since then my discomfort is mostly from the nerves. I get random sharp hot pains while I am sleeping. I go to stretch and it happens. Apparently, so I've researched, that when you stretch it presses on the nerves, which are healing. Also, my skin/mostly nipples are HIGHLY sensitive to the point of discomfort. A cotton ball couldnt touch them right now without hurting. Again, I read, it's the nerves. I surely hope they heal sooner than later. I like the size of them now, but they are swollen & I read that the volume will drop 10-15% by month 3. So happy that I went with adjustable :)

the sensitivity has reached just unbearable so I messaged my Patient coordinator who said she'd call me in meds. yay! well the day ended yesterday and no meds called in . sent her an email that i hadnt got it. sent her another this morning requesting she just send it to somewhere closer to my job so i could get it faster. Didnt hear from her so maybe she is busy or not in, so I message my Dr. who has responded immediately to me before, for advise. he said she called in meds, when i told him she hadnt he requested i call in. so i did, had to leave her a message cause she was 'with a patient' in less than 1 min i got this response email fr her: I will call this in when I have 1 minute to sit at my desk and do so, I understand your urgency but I also have 100 other patients with concerns as well. So I am trying to get to everyone in a timely manner. In the future you can call the office and speak the office manager Sylvia to call in a prescription for you, rather than texting Dr. Jeneby he’s in surgery when he gets these messages and it kinda throws him off. I will have this done before the end of the day.

Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf! I am also finding your adjustable implant surgery very interesting! Had you learned about these implants prior to meeting with your PS or did he suggest them? How many cc's did you get to start with? Praying you got your pain meds and that you can get some good sleep soon. Once you can wear a bra, nursing pads are very gentle on your nipples. Take care and keep us posted!

Hi. thanks, i really enjoy hearing everyones story. I learned about the adjustable implants through his website prior to meeting him. That is the only kind of breast implants he does, I believe. No silicone. when i saw his site i read up on them and was sold! He suggested I go with 340cc to start, giving me a 'full C'. I think I will bump it up a little at my 1st adjustment. I did get my pain meds, thanks :) however it does take 1 week to start working...blah. so i'm counting the days. i was thinking bout those nursing pads too. i have some somewhere...I had a baby a yr ago, I'm going to look for those if something does lighten up soon :) Thanks for inquiring!

If you choose they are too big can they "remove" saline?
February 15, 2018
so sorry for the 3 yr delay, sheez-time flies. but if you're still interested, yes they can remove saline too.

Hi I know it's been a few years but do you mind telling me who was your patient coordinator
February 15, 2018
I'm sorry, I just saw this, but I cant remember her name now, but she no longer works there.

Trying to add some photos as I go. I do have better before & after without the clothing but rather not post them to site, but will gladly share via email if anyone would like to see Dr. Jeneby's work, or inquiries of the scar & port of the adjustable implants :)

hey, when you talk about sensitivity, do you mean the nipples only or also the skin?
I had a few troubles with very sensitive skin and troubles since day 1 but i seem to be one in a million ... C
May 15, 2013
Omg the skin too. all the way around the whole breasts. how far post op are u? have u found any relief and if so how??????????? when I try to compare the pain I told my husband : imagine having sunburn, then sand stuck to it and then your bathing suit on top of that rubbing, that's me everytime my clothes touch it. they gave me meds but they said it takes a week to kick in. not quite at a week yet. its not even lightening up yet. grrr
May 15, 2013
well, to be honest with you , i do not think meds will work FOR the skin; probably for the pain!
Yes, i had that feeling! trouble is that i am 14 months post op and still have suuuuuuuuuuuuper sensitive skin. I cannot wear most bras and i have to put layers of moisturizer non stop!!
I also have very dry skin over the rest of my body, and the skin was obviously stretched. I really hope your situation will sort itself out. You are very early post op ! Good good luck :o)
May 15, 2013
the meds are suppose to affect the 'nerves' which is causing the sensitivity, so i SO hope it works. omg i cant even fathom going a YR like this!
May 15, 2013
oh, no panic, no pain no longer very soon :o). I am just saying that i just have sensitive skin. But no more pain at all .. just dry and getting red really easily ! C
