How long should I wait to get chin implant and facial liposuction shortly after stopping isotretinoin?

Xien
I been waiting 6 mths for a long vacation and scheduled a few procedures, chin implant, jowl liposuction, thermage, non-ablative laser on neck. It was then I remembered I was on a short course of accutane (4 weeks) 10mg per day just recently. I heard that u should not have laser surgery until 6 mths after accutane but I wonder if this applies to other procedures as well? Especially when the incisions are made inside the mouth and not on the skin? Which of these should I cancel or all?
