Best method of removal/ least amount of scarring for a large mole above upper lip? (Photo)

Since the mole on your upper lip is raised, I would recommend a shave excision.  This should remove the mole so that it is not protruding anymore, but it is possible that there still could be some pigment remaining.  If the pigment still bothers you, then you would need to have it excised later.  

Excision under local with a purse string closure or a small "v to Y" advancement repair would definitely make a big improvement. Cost is roughly $350-500. sincerely, David Hansen,MD

While shaving it down is certainly an option, a removal and special purse-string closure would virtually leave you without a scar. As always, important is sun avoidance for the first 4 months and/or use of sunscreen.

Shave removal with gently vaporizing the surface using an elman radiofrequency device yields great results. Avoid sun exposure for 6 months afterward and keep moist with either copper cream or aquaphore. This technique usually costs $150.00. Good Luck, M.Lyons, MD

A simple shave removal of your mole would be the best place to start.  That procedure usually runs around $150. It will flatten the mole but the pigment will remain.  If you desire to get rid of all the pigment then a small elliptical excision can be done with a linear scar about 3x length of the mole.  That type of procedure usually costs around $500.
