Retin-A and facial plastic surgery?

kimbee
Hello, I'm a 20yr old female and have been using Retin-A 0.1% for a year now. I'm getting a septorhinoplasty and lower eyelid blepharoplasty in about 5 weeks. How long prior to my surgery date should I discontinue Retin-A use? Is 2 weeks prior sufficient? Thank you.
