Is this normal after my mole removal? (photos)

plausible8
I had a cluster of 3 dark raised moles under my eyes and went to dermatologist to get them removed. I believe the Dr. used an electrocautery pen and I could smell the moles burn. It concerned me that I was left with black scars. I was told to not wet my face for 24 hrs and later apply Neosporin. Does this look right? Will the black scar fall out? I feel like I will be left with big scars since she didn't cut out the moles but just "burned" them. Please let me know what I can do?
