Black rim after mole removal by shaving... Is it normal? (Photo)

sparksfly21
I had a mole removed from my face today and it seems as if there is a black rim around the removal. It seems like its the remnant of my mole not completely removed. I am not sure if this is how its supposed to be done but it looks really awkward having a random black rim on my face with a clear skin tone center. Will this go away? Any insight would be very useful.
