How long before/after rhinoplasty do I need to come off accutane (blood thinner)?

May 3, 2021
Asked By:Jlaw_303 in Los Angeles, California

Accutane builds up in the system as its method of treatment, and right now I have bloody noses on it, so how long should I be off it before my surgery and after as well?
