Am I A Candidate For Silikon 1000 For Rolling Acne Scars While on Accutane?

I know I shouldn't have surgery on Accutane, but I was wondering if anyone has filled rolling scars using Silikon 1000 or similar on someone who was taking Accutane. I plan to ask my dermatologist her opinion during my next appointment, but I don't think she will be familiar with anything cosmetically related and will just advice against it.
