I am a coffee lover and drink about 5- 7 cups week. When I have my annual mammogram the technician always tells me that the discomfort I am experiencing is partly due to dense breast tissue that is seen in women who consume coffee and caffeine regularly. How does caffeine effect implant surgery and should I stop all together prior and/or after surgery.

Answer: Caffeine has arguable effects on breast tissue.
If you are a 36 B each 200 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 350 cc implants would take you up approximately 2 cup sizes to a D.

You may have had intravenous antibiotics at the start of your breast augmentation surgery, but studies do not demonstrate any benefit of giving antibiotics after the first few hours post-op. If you are still doing well, you certainly don't have anything to worry about.
You have a very nice result.
I agree with another doctor, I am not sure that they are above the muscle.
I also agree that another operation may make them worse not better, and that you may even suffer a complication- yes it happens.
