Is it possible to remove a cyst on my upper lip without causing a scar?

Bobbyj88
Hi, I have a hard epidermoid cyst on my philtrum, right on one of the columns. It came after an acne. A dermatologist made a small cut to squeeze it out, but nothing came out. Now its even bigger and with a red mark. A new doctor said I need to take out all of it with capsule otherwise it would come back. Im worried about scars and to destroy the symmetry of the philtrum. What do you think, should it be fully removed? I plan to go to a plastic surgeon when I try to take it away next time. Thanks
