dog ears after mole removal via punch excision ? (photos)

I had a punch excision performed on one of cheek my moles on April 6. Right after the surgery I noticed the typical appearance of "dog ears" on both ends of the scars. My surgeon took out the stitches today (it seems like 11 days are quite long time but I assume it's because the wound is in an area which is under a lot of tension). I would like to know how "bad" my case is as of today. Would I need revision or is there still hope for the raised excess skin to flatten out? Thanks a lot!
