The : The answer depends on your skin type and the exact location and size of the mole. If your mole is at the bridge of the nose, which is a "slightly concave" area, the healing tends to be a bit better than at a "convex" area of the skin such as the tip of the nose. If possible, i typically punch remove these and place a stitch or two. However, if it is small, a scrape of the lesion can be very cosmetically effective. I would ask your dermatologist for advice on this one.

Will have a scar: I would recommend an excisional biopsy of the area. The sutures should be removed on the early side (about 5 days) to limit the scarring. Unfortunately anytime you cut the skin you are going to be left with a scar.
