Will a facelift eliminate these wrinkles?

Question:

I am 62 and have so many face wrinkles I am embarrassed to go out. Will a facelift eliminate these wrinkles?

Answer:

Although it is perfectly normal to be self conscious about your appearance I don’t think that facial wrinkles should ever destroy your self esteem so much that you should be ashamed to leave your house. A facelift will help significantly with your facial wrinkles, and perhaps the addition of a chemical peel or laser resurfacing will also be necessary to improve the quality of your skin and get rid of even more wrinkles. Unfortunately, no facelift, no matter how well it is performed, will be able to improve your self esteem until you already feel good about yourself.
