Question

John Nguyen, MD, FACS · Answer

In my practice, I would not have an issue with continuing the cream prior to your surgery.  Best to check with your surgeon though.  Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Continuing your cream should not pose any problems, but it would be best to check with your own surgeon.  Regards

Always check with your surgeon with questions prior to surgery.  In general, it is not necessary to stop Retin-A cream prior to surgery.  Best wishes!
