A member asked:
What is recovery time after a biopsy of the tongue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the size: If the biopsy is tiny it will heal just as if you bit your tongue. The larger the biopsy. The longer the healing will take .If it is large and a lot of the tongue muscle is involved it will effect your speech and you will have learn to talk again.
