Dear Ashley93417,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question. There are different opinions on how long to wait after taking Accutane can surgeries be performed. In my opinion, waiting 6 months for any invasive large surgeries ensures that the skin is no longer sensitive or prone to severe scarring from Accutane. I highly recommend you consult with your dermatologist regarding your questions and concerns. Take care and good luck.
