Depends
If ur planning augmentation by injectable filler ,there shouldnr be a problem but if by fat where small skin stab gonna be created or by an implant you should wait six months from the last dose since you have a risk of scarring if by any chance your would got infected or dehesed

Okay to undergo cheek augmentation while on Accutane
Cheek augmentation procedure is certainly acceptable to perform while patients are on Accutane since there is no interruption of any of the epidermis during the procedure. A simple incision approximately 1 cm in length is made in the gingival sulcus above the upper teeth, the implant is then inserted through and placed over the bone and underneath the periosteum over the cheek area.

Cheek augmentation while on Accutane
Typically I would wait approximately 6 months after Accutane to perform injectable fillers in the cheeks or elsewhere on the face. The reason is that there is impaired healing while on Accutane. That said, most people would do just fine to have an injectable filler even before 6 months.
