Hi, I had abdominoplasty and breast augmentation last November by board certified plastic surgeon, then I had breast implants removed by en bloc procedure after 8 months of having them. Now that I am three months out of en bloc. I gave my bloodwork, and it turned out that I have high platelet count than I had normal count last May before breast surgery. I contacted my breast plastic surgeon he said contact your primary care doctor. What’s your thoughts on this that caused high platelet count?
Answer: No link between surgery and platelet count. Thank you for your photograph. The granulomas should easily be treated under locally anesthesia with simple removal of the sutures. This should not affect your overall result as you are well healed, and your abdominal contour looks excellent. I am not aware that having surgery can result in high platelet counts. This would be something that would be better addressed with a hematologist, as suggested by your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Possible Causes of High Platelet Count After Surgery Thank you for your question regarding your post-surgery platelet levels. It’s understandable to be concerned about this change, especially after recent procedures. Elevated platelet counts can occur for a variety of reasons, some of which may be related to surgery and healing, while others may be unrelated.

Answer: Platelet count Contacting your primary care physician or a hematologist is the correct next step to exploring your abnormal platelet count. There are a host of potential reasons for platelets to be off. It should not be assumed that since you had surgery this year that the abnormal bloodwork is related.

Answer: BII You are the unwitting victim of the gaslighting regarding breast implants and systemic illness. The BII industry is a huge money maker, and many of my colleagues are part and parcel to the fraud being committed on susceptible women. Even if you feel better after you utterly unnecessary total intact capsulectomy (misnomer 'en bloc', which it wasn't), your breast implants were not the cause, nor are they the cause of your elevated platelet count. The August issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal performed a prospective trial of explantation with NO CAPSULE REMOVAL. The result was the same as for women who had a total intact capsulectomy, most women had improvements to symptoms. As for your real medical issue, the granulomas, you should return to your surgeon for a debridement of the granulomas; their is foreign body material that needs to be remove, most likely a permanent suture with bacterial contamination.
