If I'm Taking Claravis (Isotretinoin) am I Able to Have Implant Revision Surgery?

Hi! Im currently taking Claravis 40 mg. But ive taken it every other day the 1st month , and 2days runned and one day no for the last week. I am scheduled to fix a breast asymmetry from my first BA next month and also getting implants changed to silicone. Is it completely contraindicated?? Is the fact that its my 2nd surgery and pockets are stretched may lower the risk??

Isotretinoin and Breast Implant Surgery

HI, I found a very good answer about isotetinoin from another surgeon for you. It is below. My thoughts are that if you are having asymmetry fixed with external techniques such as a peri-areolar or vertical lift, then I would not have the surgery until you have been off the drug for at least 6 months. If you are just changing implants and maybe getting internal sutures to adjust the pockets,then it is probably okay. But you must check with your surgeon and make sure he or she knows... more
