I had a mole recently removed from my face, how long will it take to fill in?

I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist for after care recommendations. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. Any scarring can be improved with lasers and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear DJ_94~
Thanks for your question.  Every patient's skin is a little different and the healing also varies according to the size and depth of the shave.  It is normal for the skin to be pink and shiny after three weeks.  The depressed area may take several months to fill in, and the shiny surface should fade and lighten gradually during that time.  If you have any concerns, please follow-up with your physician.
Best wishes for your healing!

It is normal for your scar to appear pink and shiny at this stage. This is your body's normal inflammatory response as it heals. We generally tell patients that scars take about a year to fully mature. Hopefully, by that time the scar will flatten out and fade. In the meantime, there are a number of topical treatments that can help your scar heal in the best manner possible - it is advisable to discuss these options with a plastic surgeon familiar with wound healing and skin care.
If you are still unhappy with the appearance of the scar after a year of maturation, a scar revision procedure (in which the scar is removed and sutured closed again) could be considered.
