What is recovery from c02 laser surgery on tongue like

I have been diagnosed with  displasia after a biopsy of the underside of my tongue.

The consultant suggested  that one option was c02 laser surgery.to remove a wide area but was not keen to do it because of the impact of it.

He said it would be elective by me if I wanted it or we could just monitor for the next couple of months.

I have just received the formal letter and that says it is "High Grade Displasia" which now worries me as auntie Google says it must be dealt with by surgery!!

So I am now thinking maybe I should elect for the surgery, but I have quite a lot of social events in my diary over the next couple of months and want to know how the post surgey
recovery will be, anyone had any experience?

Thanks
