When Can I Have Blepharoplasty After Being off Accutane?

pudgie68
I am a 36 year old female. I have been taking Accutane for about one and half months and will stop taking it at the end of 2 month, early to mid March. I am considering having both a Blepharoplasty and Rhinoplasty done in mid or late August. Is that enough time to wait since I was not on Accutane for a long period of time? I've been wanting to do these procedures for a very long time and this may be the only opportunity for me to do so.
