Who can develop a capsular contracture?

I'm considering breast implants and breast lift. Who can develop this problem after breast augmentation procedure?I had my rhinoplasty done 4 months ago. The tip is refines and shortened. The tip is still swollen and hard because of scar tissue--really stiff. My plastic surgeon said that it will take a year for tip swelling to go down and show results.I'm wondering if I'll devolp the same hard scar tissue after breast augmentation too that might cause rupture of breast or requring another surgery to remove the hardened tissue? Your help is appreciated in advance.
