Implants have not dropped and muscle flex deformity after 6 months. Will muscle release under local anesthesia fix it? (Photo)

I had a breast augmentation on July 1, 2014 (6+ months ago). My implants have not dropped and I feel like I have more muscle flex deformity than normal. The tightness has been making me uncomfortable and often i'll wake up to burning muscle pain. My board certified plastic surgeon has suggested muscle release under local anesthesia now that six months have passed. I'm really concerned about having muscles cut under local. Will this be an effective solution to my issues? Is there an alternative?
