    Johns Hopkins Medicine answered:

    A muscle biopsy involves taking several muscle samples from your deltoid, bicep, or quadriceps. While this may sound a bit frightening, a muscle biopsy is considered minor surgery, meaning it should take place in an outpatient center, and you should be able to go home later that day.
