At the age of 37 I had 3 cardiac drug eluting stents placed. Now at the age of 45 I would like to have 325cc breast implants placed. My cardiologist has said yes to come off plavix 1week before surgery but I have to stay on 81 mg of aspirin. I am waiting to hear back from plastic surgeon if he will do the surgery on the aspirin. What do you think. To risky? Would drains help prevent a hematoma?

Unfortunately, your breasts will not increase in size from this point on. The implants will continue to drop, however, especially with the assistance of implant massage. Always easy to put in a larger implant at a later date if desired.
Thanks for the question. After 6-8 weeks your surgery area will healed and yes you can doing yoga and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.
This is one of the disadvantages of doing axillary incisions for augmentation - scar contracture in the axilla. In most cases this can be corrected or improves or time like 3 months.. But in other cases only a surgical release or steroidal injection can improve. Worse case there was entrapment...
