I'm sorry you are going through this because I'm sure it is scary. Theoretically, surgery could irritate the breast and irritation can cause microcalcifications. However, many women have these and have not had surgery, so it might be difficult to be sure of cause and effect.
We have some information here on the site: https://www.empowher.com/condition/breast-calcifications and another nice little article is here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/breast-calcifications/MY00101/DSECTION=causes
These are often benign, and I hope that is the case for you. Good luck.
