Will Accutane Affect the Hairline?

Accutane should not affect the contour of your hairline. The change in your hairline is probably secondary to alopecia or early male pattern baldness. With hair replacement surgery the hairline can be designed as desired by the patient and surgeon. It is recommended that we avoid skin surgery, including hair replacement, for 6-12 months after accutane treatment because of the effects of that medication on the skin which will interfere with normal post-op healing.
