Mole Nose Removal: Best Option? (photo)

Oreste
Hello all I have a flesh coloured mole on my nose (Picture attached). A platician told me it's impossible to remove it because if he does a fusiform opening when he'll close the borders, my nostril will probably go a little bit up as the skin is not really flexible here. My derms (who il also specialized in surgery) told me he can either remove it (full excision) or shave it. Who is right ? If it's shaved it will probably reoccurs but is it a matter of days or years ?
