Should be fine

Let your doctor know about all of your medications.  You should be fine for lipo with Acutane. You should also inform your doctor of any other health issues. sek

Liposuction after taking Accutane

Hello, After taking Accutane, the time until your tissues recover from it can become important. Healing after surgery can be questionable in less than 6-12 months after Accutane treatment. As you are a model, taking a chance with your appearance is something you probably will not want to try.
