Is it normal to have the area of the removed mole a darkish brown/gray color the day after? (Photo)

I had a mole removed yesterday on the back right shoulder area. Upon removing the bandaid tonight (approx 31 hours later), we saw this. The discoloration caught me a bit off guard. I have attached a photo. I am also surprised that the doctor didn't stitch me up with a cut this size. Do I have reason to be concerned?
