Smile feels huge and not symmetrical after new bridge, gingivectomy and veneers. Should I get a revision? (photos)

Question

I spent 16k on a new bridge, gingivectomy and veneers. I now believe I need a new bridge and another gingivectomy. I feel like my smile is huge and not symmetrical. Please advise. I'm a professional and would like to have a nice smile. I knocked my permanent front teeth out in an accident at age 10 so I have l tissue and bone loss and have underwent both bone and tissue graft.

my first question is 
Do you feel a huge smile or prominent front teeth?
As you have big buccal corridors, so you have a narrow smile (not huge). But your statement is HUGE SMILE, so first give your view on this, so I can guide you better.
I feel your concern is about prominent front teeth and asymmetric gum tissue.

Hello, I would recommend you have a consultation to see what options are available. Once in diagnosis the doctor would provided a treatment plan available with 1 or more options, you could then decided which options best suits your needs, there is no compromise.

In the area where the teeth on the upper right side are short, it is necessary to increase the visible size of the teeth with the gingivectomy procedure and to correct the aesthetics accordingly, that is, the procedure we also call pink aesthetics should be performed.

It would be helpful if I could see your before photos so I can see what was done. But at this point your front 6 teeth look pretty good except looking large because the posterior teeth are too short & small in comparison. If you want to balance out your smile, a crown lengthening procedure performed on your posterior teeth, more on the right than left, will help. The reason why you show too much gum is because your upper jaw didn’t develop properly. Depending on where your enamel ends at the gum line, you may need veneers in at least the premolars to match the anterior 6 restorations.
