How to achieve cleavage after Breast feeding and implants?

Well I've had Breast implants for two years now but I recently had a baby, I had only breast fed for one month, so my breasts don't need a lift. I'm just a little concerned that now they actually don't look that full anymore they are not sagging not as full as they used to be, and what really bothers me is the separation I have now which makes me look like I don't have a cleavage, I'm want an opinion on what are my options to have a cleavage?
