Well, I had a skin graft about a year ago because of a receding gum on one of my bottom teeth. It didn't really hurt during the procedure but about 20 minutes after leaving the Periodontist's Office it hurt a fair amount. On a scale of 1-10 it was around a 4 or 5. My Mom had me take the next day of school off but I didn't REALLY need to. After about a week or two of popsicles, jello and other soft foods I was fine.

Good luck! :)

That depends on how much skin they remove for the biopsy. Generally, it won't hurt for more than a day or 2 at most.
