Can I get a capsular contracture 2-3 days post-operatively? (Photo)

My ace bandage was placed wrong in the O.R and for 2 straight days I delt with intollerable pain & muscle spasms but I was told to 'keep the ace bandage on' for 48 hours. Now that it's off my breast (rt side only, where the spasms were) is ROCK hard (10x harder than the other breast), tender to the touch and significantly higher! The extreme hardness has me concerned! Could this be a capaular contracture so early in the game?
