It should be in the process of "taking" if indeed there is good communication between the blood supply and the new tissue. Since this is on your face and vanity should certainly play a big role here - I'd get it checked even if the doctor makes you feel like your are pesky. Hold your ground and get checked. If you are still unhappy - get a second opinion from a well regarded doctor.
