Will Local Anesthesia to Remove a Mole On My Chest Puncture my Breast Implant?

I have mole on the inner breast cleavage area and need to have it removed. Is there any chance they will puncture or pop my breast implant by using a small needle to numb to area? I am very worried and don't want to take any chances of them doing this , but also afraid of having skin cancer?

A: Local anesthesia injection will in rupture breast implant

Since I do not know the size or exact location of the mole on your breast it is difficult to tell you the exact risk of implant rupture.  But with a board certified plastic surgeon who has knowledge of implants and breast anatomy performing the mole excision would carry little risk of implant rupture.  Hypertrophic scars in this area however, are known to occur.
