Can the muscle above your implant be torn and cause implant to go above it?

i was recently told I have a staff infection in the right breast, put on antibiotic. Now the doc did an U/S and said that he cannot see the muscle between implant and nipple?? Thinks I should have implant removed - can muscle tear once implant is on top?
