November 29, 2009
Asked By:Kynn in WA

I am 72 and considering a Deep Plane Facelift. I am not overweight, work out every day, but I have what is called unspecified Neutropenia with no change in test results WBC 3.4. I also have a lower than normal platelet count of 137. Is it safe for me to have the facelift?
