Are you talking about a total protein level? I've never seen it measured like that. Usually the normal range is listed ast something like 6.0 - 8.0.
Anyway, if you increased your protein intake significantly, it should have gone up, yes. Weren't you on a high protein diet already, though? How much protein had you been getting?

Yes, that does make sense.

90-100g protein daily should be a NORMAL target (or even minimum). If you haven't been getting nough protein consistently, I suggest making a focused effort to do from here on out, regardless of whether you're trying to have another surgical procedure or not. Good luck with your plastics!
