WORTH IT
Due to a car accident where I literally hit a cement wall doing 55mph, I sustained a 5 inch rip in my chin area (from the lip of one side to the jaw line of the other side which went through all layers leaving my teeth exposed).
It was quite gruesome looking. After 8 hours of medical testing for diagnosing broken ribs, a nondisplaced jaw fracture, and a later diagnosed traumatic brain injury. Dr Coccarro came in and carefully & skillfully reattached all of the different layers together. Leaving a barely noticeable scar. Due to internal scar tissue over growth I needed to have additional treatment to destroy the "rope like" scar inside my mouth which I frequently would run my teeth on... The scar has continued to be barely noticeable..
If the er Drs were only as skilled as dr Coccarro was!

Wow, what a great review, thank you for sharing your experience! Would you be willing to share photos?
What kind of treatment did you have to reattach your chin? Did you have stitches, glue, laser?
