Frenum lower after extraction & implant

Hi all,
I’ve got an appointment with my oral surgeon next month, but just wanted to know if it’s possible that the frenum (had to google what this was called ?) can ‘move’ lower?
Two months ago I had a premolar extracted and the first stage of an implant. Since then I’ve felt a pulling sensation from that area, which I’ll admit is almost gone, but not 100%. I’ve noticed that the frenum above this area comes down lower and closer to the teeth than that on the other side, is this something that can happen and can be causing this slight feeling?
I’ll bring it up on my next appointment as on my last appointment he told me he had to do a graft and will take a bit for my gum to heal.
 
They aren't usually absolutely symmetrical, so it's possibly always been like this. I suspect the feeling is just normal healing going on.
