I had the chin split and when you met me at the walk, did I look like the Bride of anyone but my husband???? Yeah, it's rough looking the first month or so, any invasive surgery is. BUT, before you know it the swelling and bruising goes down and you have to look hard to find a scar.
Don't fret on that part, trust me.
Love,
Minnie
