Mole On Upper Lip- Is Shaving The Best Option For Removal To Keep Lip Shape?

I would highly recommend that you see a board certified facial plastic surgeon for an evaluation and possible treatment. 

Both shave exision and elliptical excision are options. The pros and cons of each should be discussed with you.  I dont believe exision will cause distortion of the lip.  in my opinion both options are reasonable and if done properly will give a good aesthetic outcome. The disadvantage of shave excision is that the lesion can recur.  If you have shave excision performed an elman surgitron device or Co2 laser is helpful to treat the base of the lesion and reduce the chance of recurrence.

You should have your moles excised rather than shaved since cosmetically they would look better and not deform your lip in any way.  Expect to pay about $350 each under local and almost painlessly.  Sincerely,

Shaving these moles will not insure they will not recur (I.E. If you shave off the top half of a ball even with the skin surface the bottom half under the skin may still grow). Thus, excision will likely give you the best cosmetic result. You should discuss the options with a board certified plastic surgeon

In my Many many years experience, having removed over 10000 moles, a careful plastic excision permanently removes the mole, any associate hairs and gives the best cosmetic result.
