Is a soft tissue graft possible over an implant/crown? (Photo)

aznyean4
I recently got an implant on one of my front tooth. I had a bone graft done, yet the doctor said it was difficult to get the perfect bone volume and my gums were thin. After having the flap opened 3 times, my gum has receded. I got the implant done, and the crown was made longer near my gums making it look unnaturally long especially when compare to the tooth on the opposite side. Is it possible to get a soft tissue graft over an implant/crown?
