Does revision surgery increase the risk of capsular contracture?

Do you increase your risk of forming capsular contracture when you have a revision surgery? I had implants and a lift, then a year later I had to have a second surgery to re-do the lift and have mesh put in. It’s been over 6 months and I think I may be forming a contracture on one side. so I was just curious if that second surgery increased my risk?
