I take Roacutan/Accutane and want to do a liposuction (PAL) local anaesthesia, the doctor assistant said is ok to do it and continue with the pill. I am afraid because I read some threads that it is not ok at all and I should wait a whole year until I do any treatment. Should I get another doctor? I did not pay yet and I am scared now.
