Snoopy boob and possible capsular contracture?

AlexandriaInTexas
I have silicone subfascial implants placed through the armpit in March 2018. Left breast has always had more upper pole, but shaped differently. Over the last 2 years, the left side has become firm to the point it's painful when laying on my stomach or when pressure is applied. The tissue is all at the bottom & nipple is starting to point downward. Does this appear to be snoopy boob & possibly capsular contracture? If so, how complicated is the revision process?
