What is the incidence of capsular contracture for submuscular implants?

Expander nightmare
What is the incidence of capsular contraction for under the muscle implants by type ( saline, silicone, gummibear, textured and smooth). Everything I have read says "less than sub glandular", but would someone please tell me what "less" is as a percentage rate. Do most occur in the first few year or does the rate continue to increase over time? Thank you
