Do I need to take antibiotics for urology procedures if I have breast implants?

Imaginative153110
I have had previous surgeries to get rid of capsular contracture and it is finally clear. However I have to get pcnl for kidney stones which has a high infection rate . What is the chances the bacteria can seed the implant during this surgery and cause another capsular contracture. Also once the capsule is formed around the implant doesn't that prevent bacteria from entering and getting to the implant. If this can happen why are there no studies to show the correlation
