Can gum contouring be done on the gum around specific teeth? (Photo)

mlmountain
I have two teeth that are shorter than all the others. Is it possible to just shape the gums around those two teeth? When the tissue heals would it match the surrounding, untouched gums? Also, would the gums regrow after surgery? This has always bothered me about my smile and I plan to have surgery. Thank you.
