If it is already diagnosed by a competent person then it can be removed surgically without even a scar.
If it is not diagnosed then kindly first get it diagnosed as swellings of lips can be due to many reasons.

Can you send a pic?
As the treatment depends on the size of the mucocele. Also if a sharp tooth is causing it, we need to smoothen that tooth also.
It often needs a short surgery for removal , which is done under local anesthesia.
