Could a nipple piercing infection cause capsular contracture in a breast implant? Had my implants for 6 years.

I’ve had my left nipple pierced for over a year, and it varies from getting the occasional infection here or there, depending on whether or not it’s that time of the month for me. Usually that’s when it tends to get slightly infected. But what I am noticing is that, my left breast implant is feeling a bit harder than my right one...which is odd, because I originally had more breast tissue there, and they’ve always felt squishier and softer than my right. Had my implants for 6 years.
