Failed gum graft please confirm?!!??

I recently had a gum graft surgery, but I am really unhappy with the results. When I discussed it with the surgeon, he insisted the procedure was a success and that he’s proud of the outcome. However, I don’t feel the same.

I’m attaching before and after photos for reference. When I compare my results to what I see on Google Images of similar surgeries, my case looks very different. I even have a noticeable gap between my two teeth where the surgery was performed, which wasn’t there before.

I have a meeting with the clinic’s general manager next week, but before I go, I’d really appreciate a second opinion from a periodontist. Does this look like a successful operation to you, or do my concerns seem valid?

Thank you in advance for your help!

This looks like a definite improvement to me. The dark gap that you could see between the incisors is completely covered. I would not deem this treatment a failure. I guess it depends on what your expectations were before hand.
