What is the statistical likelihood of capsular contracture reoccurring after a capsulectomy and implant replacement?

I understand all breast augmentation patients have about a 15% chance of developing capsular contracture. I also understand that if you've had capsular contracture, you have a higher likelihood of developing it again after corrective surgical measures. My question is exactly how much MORE likely, statistically and/or in your personal experience?
