I am not a doctor, and you should probably ask yours these questions.
Recovery depends on many factors. Needle biopsies could be for almost anywhere in your body. It depends on how healthy you are, what they are biopsying, how smoothly the operation goes, and much more.
I had a lung needle biopsy this morning. It was painless for me because they put me "under" for the operation (maybe because I'm only 15). The radiologist said there was a 1 in 4 chance of my lung collapsing. If it did collapse, he said that there was a 1 in 4 chance that they would have to then pump air out through a tube to fix it.
My lung did not drop, and I am now home and feeling well (except for the soreness). I will be flying to Las Vegas on Friday. My doctor is aware of this, and gave it an "OK" as long as the cabin is pressurized (and they pretty much all are).
Good luck!
