BBL with pre-existing butt implants - will it cause an infection?

Sociable850521
I understand that some surgeons believe butt implants cause a higher risk of infection for future procedures and why is that? I don't see how the implant can cause infection when the implant is placed inside the muscle. Since it's placed inside the muscle, wouldn't an infection only occur if my butt muscle is breached with unsanitary instruments?
