How to remove flat black mole/beauty mark?

In my opinion and long experience, Scalpel Sculpting followed by Dermaplaning (if needed) would be the treatment of choice for removing flat moles--dark or lighter-colored--from any location, including the face.Although removing moles by any method from the face is likely to leave a small scar, scalpel sculpting, which involves no deep cutting or stitches has, in my experience, proven quite successful for achieving gratifying aesthetic results while leaving little, or often barely perceptible, scars.The technique, which I have been using for thirty years, involves "scultping the mole" off from the surrounding skin in a tangential fashion (i.e. not cutting deeply into the skin). Deep cutting will inevitably result in a scar, while superficial (horizontal) removal in this fashion largely avoids this. Elliptical and fusiform simply describe the resulting shape of a wound excision after cutting them out deeply and before the placement of the sutures.As an important aside, destructive modalities to simply destroy the mole, e.g. lasers, electrocautery, electrodessication or cryosurgery should not be performed since these simply destroy all the mole tissue and do not permit a small specimen to be sent to the lab to ensure that the mole removed was entirely benign.If necessary, following scalpel sculpting, the borders of the mole can then be smoothed and blended with the surrounding normal skin by "dermaplaning," a technique by which the edge of the scalpel is used to delicately abrade the skin. Properly done, the entire procedure, performed under local anesthesia, takes no more than three to five minutes. In most cases, the procedure is done at the time of the consultation.

When you are considering the removal of a benign mole on your face, you have to consider that you are trading a mole for a scar. No matter how the mole is removed, you will have either a slight depressed scar or possibly a suture line where the mole used to be. Sometimes, if it's a small lesion that really doesn't bother you, it's best to leave it alone.
Good luck and I hope this answer helps.

from the picture it looks like a normal mole...yes it can be removed, but why?...while the treatment generally results in only a small scar, it's tough to imagine why the mole distresses you...most people have considerably more moles on their face than you appear to have...considered perfectly normal...personally I'd opt to let it alone

I would use an instrument known as a punch biopsy to remove your mole which takes out a small circle of skin slightly larger than the mole. One small stitch should be used so it will heal quickly. A small scar will result which usually is hard to see once the area has healed.

My recommendation would be for a punch biopsy, slightly larger than the mole. In a punch biopsy a circular  instrument acts sort of like a cookie-cutter and makes a cut just outside the mole. If possible, a double layer closure, meaning there is an inner suture and an outer suture, would give you the best cosmetic result. This technique would preserve tissue which should then be sent off to pathology to be sure that the mole is benign. It is important  to use something like Eucerin Aquaphor healing ointment over the healing wound to minimize the potential for a scar.
