It should just simply grow back as before- though maybe slightly bigger. It is not advisable to pick off moles as it creates a point of entry for bacteria, and can result in an infection. Keep an eye on the mole as it heals- if you notice an unusual appearance, or a red ring around the outside of the mole, then it is best to go to your doctor in case the mole is cancerous. There are methods of mole removal if it is a nuisance mole, though cutting it out can result in scarring- which is not ideal for facial moles. Laser techniques have been introduced, though are still relatively new. For example there is one in the UK: http://www.nottinghamlaserclinic.com/mole_removal.php?gclid=CJTU8bC06ZwCFaAA4wodVyLnjA
