Can I have breast augmentation while on 81mg of asprin?

Karen C
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?
