I recently got a mole just under my lip and I hate the thing. Is it possible for me to destroy the bugger without it leaving a lasting impression like a scar? I've heard if you remove them they leave a scar, is that true?

Anytime you cut the skin, the process of healing will leave a scar. This happens whether the cut is accidental or from surgery of some sort. What the scar looks like when healing is complete is another matter. The advantage to a surgical scar is that the doctor can create a nice thin linear scar, and suture it with very small suture material. How you heal is another variable. Some people over scar in healing, called keloid scarring or keloids. If you tend to overscar, every cut can become ugly. A plastic surgeon can sometimes reduce a scar of this sort, but even the best plastic surgeon leaves a scar. It just depends on how noticable you think it is, as to how bad the scar is.
A mole on the face is usually easily removed by a physician in the office setting. I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself, as the face tends to bleed quite profusely, not in proportion to the size of the cut. The area around the mouth is an even more bloody area of the face, and is surrounded by nerves and nerve bundles that would make it extremely painful and dangerous. The doctor can give you a jab, and cleanly remove your mole in a matter of minutes, likely. One or two stitches- or even possibly some of the skin glue now popular, or a tape, and you are on your way. Within a week, you will be healed nicely and more than likely have only the tiniest scar to remember your friend by. Depending on it's location, a good doctor can even camoflauge the scar to look just like another natural crease line in the chin.
Another consideration in having the doctor do it- moles are sometimes precursors of skin cancer. The doctor will send the mole off to the pathologist for evaluation to see if it is precancerous or God forbid, cancer. If it is, you will need further treatment, possibly, to prevent it's spreading. Skin cancer caught in the early stages is easily curable. Cancers left to spread can be fatal. So- go see the doctor and have it taken off, safely.

I just had a mole removed from my face , that I couldn't stand looking at, and it did leave a tiny scar. I think it depends on the root and how deep it is, as to what kind of scarring will be left. I had it sliced off the top by a dermatologist a few years ago , but it came back , as the Dr. said it might.. This time it got larger, so I wanted it gone,and decided I could live with the scar.

Skin moles happen to be darkish growths which can occur wherever. These can be removed using surgical treatment, as well as through many diy home cures.
Surgery treatment is high-priced, charging anywhere from around $150-400 and it could bring about scars. Do-it-yourself solutions are cheap and even may remove moles within just a few days without having scar problems.
Home remedies include things like apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, as well as grapefruit seed extract used for a quick time.

I had a mole removed from my cheek and have no scar... I went to a plastic surgeon. The costs was about $500.00 but was well worth it. I also have a mole removed from my back. I went to my family doctor and he removed it. I don't have a scar there at all either but he didn't want to chance leaving one on my cheek.
So I would suggest checking with your family physician first.

You will definitely leave a scar. Don't remove it. Some moles are cute! This one must be ugly if you want to remove it. I thought moles were there from birth, I didn't know you could get them at any time. But I don't think you should remove it.
