Should I get a Chemical Peel before or after my Facelift?

MotherHubbard
I wanted to get a facelift by now but I think I have to postpone it for 4 or 5 months. In the meantime I wanted to get a chemical peel....maybe TCA? Should I do that now or just wait until after the facelift? I was thinking the peel would make me look a little younger for the time being.
