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

The only way that the implant can me ruptured is if the doctor sticks the needle too deep. This would certainly be a result of negligence and really should not happen...but crazier things have happened I guess.

The chances of puncturing a breast implant while taking off a mole with local is very small.  There typically is enough soft tissue covering the implant that a careful surgeon could easily stay away from the implant..  Do make whoever does the procedure aware that you do have implants so they will know they need to be careful.

You may want to check with the surgeon who put your implants in to see if they would remove your mole for you.

Good Luck,
