There are no studies that establish a significant effect of breast implants on platelet count. However, an increase may be due to clotting. It would be best to follow up with your surgeon.

I am unaware of breast implants causing an increase in platelet counts.  However it would be unusual to check a platelet count after this type of surgery unless there was a clotting issue.
