How to Lose Extra Breast Fat when You Have Breast Implants?

Im 28, I have 550cc saline mentor implants, under the muscle. I want to lose some of my natural breast fat. TRUST ME IM ADDICTED TO CARDIO, and ALSO use my elliptical 5 days a week. Unfortunately, I DID go too big with my implants, and am wondering if there are excercises that will help to lose the natural breast tissue, IN HOPES that my chest size will SHRINK if that is at all possible. I coach cheerleading and feel like Im carrying around two bowling balls...PLEASE HELP!
