Will skin indentation fill in, following radiofrequency ablation mole removal?

December 23, 2017
Asked By:Alessi in Ohio, OH

About a month ago I had a mole removed on face, utilizing radiofrequency ablation. Now as it has healed it left a indent where it was much bigger than the mole was, and it's concave. As the wound healed, it did not scab. I used petroleum jelly to keep it moist and did not expose it to the sun. I've had no other complications with this but I'm surprised that there is now an indentation. Is it possible that it will fill in?
