My muscles retracting tissue expander resulting in no mammary fold?Can deep massage release the muscle & open the pocket?(photo)

3 weeks post-op, I had breast implant revision using tissue expanders. I feel a cord high in my chest wall to the bottom of my breast. Ive had 11 revisions & this cord always resulted in capsular contractor. Im desperate to do manual maneuver to drop it from my chest wall. My surgeon said the muscle is too tight & pulling expander up into chest wall. massage was recommended but is not working. can i push through the cord and muscle until the implant drops, is that possible?
