The only functional way is to add more lights at the shoot. Ideally you want to set up some sort of reflection device that will bounce your light behind and onto the sides of your subject.
You don’t have to have a 20k setup, either. White (or gray) cardboard, and even a sheet will work. If you have a detatchable flash unit it’s even better. Put it on a cord and hold it off to the left (or right) of the subject so that you can better "aim" it at the reflector.
If you’ve already got the image and the shadows are there, build a mask around the subject and replace the background. These type of flash shadows are problematic to remove.
