Gums advancing post crown lengthening. Is this normal?

Anonymous3141253
About 15 years ago I chipped my front left tooth and later had a root canal & crown put on in 2008. My gums around that tooth were always swollen, purple & appear to have advanced. The gum line was uneven. About 2 weeks ago I had the crown removed (currently a temporary crown in) and had crown lengthening done in order to fix the tooth and also for cosmetic purposes (all four front teeth were lengthened). My gums still appear uneven & swollen around the chipped tooth. Is this normal?
