How Long Should I Be off Accutane Before Revision Rhinoplasty Surgery?

John Doe
I am a 28 male, 6'1, 190lbs. I just completed a 5 month cycle of Accutane 40mg/60mg/80mg/80mg/80mg. How long do I have to wait to have Revision Rhinoplasty including nostril revision due to Alarplasty complications after my first Rhinoplasty over 2 years ago. I have met with 3 Plastic Surgeons and they have all said that they would perform surgery after 1 Month off Accutane, while the Dermatologist is 'recommending' 6 months. I want to have surgery ASAP. What do you think?
