Am I developing capsular contracture? (Photo)

Affectionate460408
Hi I had my breast done 1yr 7 months ago. In the beginning I had some pain in my left boob, however this went away. It had now come back and feels like sharp stabs and sometimes burning in the implant. I have also noticed that one breast is fuller especially on top and seats higher, also some difffences in the nipples and firmess. Naturally I have some slight differences but with the pain, I am worried I am developing capsular contraction. Any advice would be helpful.
