Restylane before Accutane

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Getting Restylane for lips before starting on Accutane?

After Accutane, I'll be off any kind of elective treatment for a year, so can I get fillers in my nasolabial folds and lips BEFORE starting the drug?

But lips dry up and the skin dries up during Accutane treatment, so will that dry up the filler, make it hard?

 It seems reasonable to have these treatments done before starting on Accutane.  It is impossible to tell you how you will respond during the Accutane treatment but all you can really do is have the Restylane a few weeks before and see.
