Tenting in my lower sternum that appears as arms raise. Is this correctable without surgery? Are my implants too large? (Photo)

10 days post-op. Full P 385cc Natrelle submuscle. Recovery has been excruciating. I had thick muscular pecs. The day of surgery I felt a strong burning sensation in my sternal area. There was a pocket of fluid that would disappear when depressed. My PS told me he had injected some local anesthesia into the pockets. The needle wounds were lateral to the bump, I figured it was temporary. At 1wk post I I began to see as my arms raise the skin detaches from my sternum. What are my best options?
