Is It Safe to Have a Facelift if You Have a History or RSD?

December 4, 2011
Asked By:BrookeinCO in Colorado

From what I know, once you have RSD, you are more more at risk to have it reoccur. It seems people are not familiar with this disorder. It must be dormat, and can occur with the slightest injury. Any response appreciated.
