How long shall I wait to have my septoplasty or rhinoplasty if I stopped my Accutane treatment now?
I have recently started my accutane treatment. I first took 1 * 40mg pill per week for a couple of weeks then took 8 * 40 mg pills day after day ( I am 78 kg). Now I am intending to do a septoplasty. If I stopped my treatment now, how long should I wait to do the surgery?
