Can a revision help this at all? 7 years post-op prophylactic double mastectomy (Photos)

Socialgal2022
I had a prophylactic double mastectomy 7 years ago due to having BRCA2. I am 38 years old, and not happy with the outcome of the reconstruction. Anything that requires the use of my pec muscle puts me in pain, and my skin is super tight that I’ve lost putting my arms above my head. I also absolutely hate the appearance and have taken to just hiding - can’t wear a bathing suit because you can see all of the dimpling. Can any of this be fixed with a revision?
