Can a bacterial infection from an ear piercing lead to capsular contracture? 6 months post breast revision.

4 months after the breast revision I had my ear pierced (on the impuria part).. Everything was fine. 2 months later I’ve decided to have my cartilage pierced (helix). I took an antibiotics 32h after the procedure of piercing my cartilage because I started to feel pain in my chest. The burning sensation and occasional numbness is still there, 6 days after the piercing. Should I be worried? Is it possible that I’ve got bacteria infection again and that could lead to capsular contracture?
