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

Calhoun32
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?
