Best Doctor for Mole Removal on the Eyelash Area?

I have a mole on my right upper eyelid. It lies in the eyelid right between the lashes. I have had it since I was a child, I am 26 now and it is bigger and somewhat noticeable.

If I have it removed what scarring should I worry about since it is in the eyelash area, and would it be best to have an opthalmologist, plastic surgeon or dermatologist remove it?
