| Will getting a facelift
solve my problem with wrinkles?
No. Facelifts don't solve
anything. By cutting away some of your skin,
they produce a temporary, very unnatural
tightening effect. Sometimes the surgery goes
terribly wrong. Even when it doesn't, you come
out of it with bruises everywhere. Your face
doesn't really look young, it just looks stiff.
Assuming you're satisfied, you'll need to do it
again down the line, for as long as you can
handle it. Not to mention, for as long as you
can pay for it, because facelifts cost. Do you
think that's a solution?
Will Botox®
injections solve my problem with wrinkles?
Botox® does nothing directly
to the wrinkles at all. It's just a filler to
try to smooth things out. It also paralyzes some
of your facial muscles, the idea being that if
you can't move your face, you won't produce
wrinkles that way. They make Botox® from poison,
Botulism toxin, specifically for that paralyzing
effect. When Botox® works the way it's supposed
to, the effect lasts only a few months. Then you
have to pay the doctor to inject you some more.
When it doesn't work the way it's supposed to,
you get wrinkles later on and your face may be
paralyzed forever. How much of a solution is
that?
Will skin peels solve my
wrinkle problem?
This uncomfortable process is
another one that you have to do, and pay for,
over and over. When it works, it leaves you all
red. When it doesn't work, and the peeling gets
below the surface of the skin, it can scar you
for life. What kind of a solution is that?
