Q: When can I have Blepharoplasty after being off Accutane?
A:
Accutane significantly effects woound healing as it effects the appendages in the skin. Most recommend being off it for at least 6 months, but I would recommend beinf off it for a year. It can cause dry eyes, and you want the effects of it completely gone before having a procedure. It is best to wait to achieve the best results possible.
