Unfortunately - No, Accutane won't reduce your nasal size.
Isotretinoin is a drug used to treat severe acne that hasn’t responded to other treatments. It may be prescribed for other uses, including other skin problems and certain kinds of cancer, but it will not thin your skin , and it will not make your nose smaller.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. Accutane is a medication prescribed to treat severe acne. It will not affect nose size. In fact, no drug or medication has the ability to alter nose size and shape. Only a rhinoplasty can reduce the size of the nose. To learn more about the procedure and to determine if you’re a candidate for it, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. Your surgeon can perform an evaluation and use digital photography to show your projected results, as well as ensure the best possible outcome.
