How Can Mucocele Be Treated?

Hello Doctor, Yesteday a doctor identified that I have mucocele in my lips. Inside part of the lip. Its growing and shrinking from past 2 months. Doctor says it has to be surgically removed. I am worried that if it comes again then again a surgery would be needed. Is there any other way apart from surgery?
