Will my skin flap change color at all? (photo)

Asked By:lykens2112 in Columbus, OH

I had a skin flap taken from my calf and applied to my face. It is a much darker color than my face skin, but also a much darker color than my leg skin. Will this ever change or is it just something that will always be that way? Thank you.
