Removing Mole Under Nose/Mustache Area? (photo)

There may be a couple of options for you: shave excision and complete surgical excision.  I recommend seeing a facial plastic surgeon or dermatologic surgeon for your concerns.

Since your mole is raised, it could be shaved off.  This should still allow the hair to grow normally through the base of the mole.  

The best way to remove it is to use a radiofrquency to shave down the mole to the skins surface where 90% will be skin color. If there are any deeper skin follicles they will continue to grow. There would be no scarring. I have done this often

Facial moles with "fairly small bases" such as yours can be easily removed using a shave excision technique that typically results in a minimal scar. With this method, the mole is actually shaved off at a very superficial level just below the surface of the skin. The procedure typically takes less than a minute and is painless after a tiny injection to numb the area. Hair follicles are typically much deeper so they will not be permanently affected by this procedure and the hair will regrow.
