We are asking this question because we have had 2 consultations with 2 different doctors. One of them prefers punching it since it is small and the other wants to cut elliptically. We are aware we can not avoid the scar and we would want to know which scars less.
Answer: Mole removal and biopsy of the nose
There are many variables to answer this question. I perform a lot of mole removal biopsies and would differentiate the nose moles between raised and non-raised moles, epidermal or dermal, and whether it is located on the concave or convex surface of the nose.

Answer: Mole removal
Depending on whether the mole is raised or not a shave excision or a dermal punch can be done. Without seeing a photo of the mole, it is difficult to really assess.

Answer: Best way to remove a facial mole
Realize that removal of a mole on the face will leave a scar no matter what technique is used. It isn't whether it is a plastic surgeon or a dermatogist doing the procedure it is what will give you the best long term appearance and how can the scar be minimized or hidden. If a mole is protruding, often a simple shave results in the best cosmesis. If the mole is deeper and a true excision and suture become necessary, the trick here is to orient and hide the scar so that it is hidden in a shadow or line on the face.

Answer: Mole removal requires surgical skill
There is no best way to remove a mole from the nose or face. This being said, there are ways that are better than others depending on the location and size of the mole. The best way to increase your chances to get the best possible results is to have a doctor that understands plastic surgery techniques. A board certified plastic surgeon is a physician that should be able to choose the right treatment and would have the surgical skills to apply it your unique mole.

Answer: Best Cosmetic Result for Mole Removal: Dermal Punch or Direct Excision
You might be somewhat confused with all of the available techniques offered for mole removal. If your objective is 1. less scarring 2. faster healing 3. No disfigurement of tissue after lesion removed then I suggest the following: 1. Avoid the dermal punch or direct excision methods 2. Utilize the microscopic shave excision method. I abandoned the direct excision method (except for questionable moles) 15 yrs ago and never looked back. Have done approximately 6,000 radiofrequency shave removals and my patients love the results. Choose wisely
