Mole removed 2 months ago (cut/shaved off): Will my scar flatten out? (photo)

SkyJoy25
The scar is slightly raised. I don't have any history of keloids, I usually heal very well with other scars I've had. But I am concerned about this one, since its on my face. I'm in my 20s. I took very good care of the wound, kept it covered with band-aids, rubbed coconut oil on it every day, never let it form a scab. Will my scar flatten out on it's own - if so when? Will the color improve?
