Change in breast shape with muscle flexion is called animation deformity, and occurs to some degree with implants under the muscle in most patients.

In my experience, this will not lead to a capsular contracture. If your breasts are soft, you probably do not have a capsular contracture. You should have a follow up exam with your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns.
