Firm implant. Could this be capsular contracture?

Jubilant379699
Hello, I have had silicone implants since 2014 within the last month one has become firmer than the other. Sometimes it’s just as soft as the other and other times it’s harder. When I lay down it becomes very firm which is new. There is no pain and it’s not completely hard just firmer than the other. Could this be capsular contracture? Thank you any advice is great
