could going to the dentist to puncture it and drain it help?

i have had a mucocele i think since my spring break i noitced a small little bump that was clear and kind of triangle shaped in the place i have this bump now. so of course i bit it to pop it because i had had one before and it went away. then i noticed a couple hours later it got bigger.... fml anyways now ive had it for over a month and i noticed last week it whent down a little... you could hardly see it when i smiled anymore and you have no idea how happy i was... i was thinking omg its going away finally!!! but now its back to normal size and im so bummed :( i have a boyfrend and im so embarassed when i smile because he notices it and i think he might be able to feel it when we kiss haha. but yeah so i saw that some people have them popped with needles by their doctors and have them drained and that helps them go away possibly. or helps them for a week or so. would popping it just every week in the same place work? or has anyone every tried this? mine is way under my skin so i cant do it myself because it would hurt haha 

so yeah does having it drained by a dentist help at all? has anyone had a successful recovery this way?

also after peoples surgeries of having them removed how long does it take for it to fully heal, also does it leave a dent in your lip? i have heard from some stories that it can leave like a gulley in your lip and the natural curve of the lip gets f'ed up and not pretty anymore :( i wud do the surgery if my lip wouldnt get messed up... i jsut like my smile too much to get it all ruined.. sorry this is so long but i really want to know!!!
