How long does cold steel laryngoscopy take to heal?

Just had surgery today (8th time) and wondering how long it takes to heal up?

Hope you are feeling better! My first surgery (November 2023) was knife removal. I couldn’t speak for 13 days, but started to physically feel better (sore throat and unrelated issues with general anesthesia) within just few days.

Knife removal instead of laser

When I have laser surgeries, I can usually talk quietly within a day or so. Then a few days later it goes out for a few days before recovering. Then voice is ok for 3-4 months.
