Do gums grow back after implants?

I am a 54 year old male. I want to know if gums grow back after implants?

The gum tissue is just accessed through, it is not cut away
With out some surgical intervention and sometimes even with surgery, gums can be hard or near impossible to get to grow back. Many factors are involved. A big component is presence or absence of adjacent teeth and their respective gum level. So it can, but can be very difficult in many cases.
