Usually not.: It depends on where on the face it is located, but as a rule, in the hands of a skilled plastic surgeon, the scar that results from excision of a mole usually heals very well and can be expected to be less conspicuous than the mole. Often it can become practically invisible. But there is always a possibility for a scar with which you might not pleased.

Depends: Mole removal may be done by shaving or burning it off down to the level of the surrounding skin, or it might need to be cut out in an elliptical fashion and the hole sutured closed. If sutures are involved, typically a short straight line would be the resulting scar which would be permanent.

Mole on face: In general, mole excision from the face should leave a very small scar that will improve with time. However, there are so many variables associated with scarring, including skin color, location, and size, so it difficult to accurately predict exactly how a scar will look.
