Breast Implants Cause Shoulder Scar Tissue Problem?

corlee
I had implants in 1981, still have them. I know they have encapsulated. Recently, I had rotator cuff surgery and then a capsulated shoulder. I can feel what I think is scar tissue between my right breast and my problematic shoulder. Could the implants have contributed to my shoulder scar tissue problem?
