When can I start a low dose of Accutane after my tummy tuck and breast augmentation?

It is generally recommended to wait until you are fully healed from your surgeries before starting Accutane (isotretinoin), as it can affect wound healing. Most surgeons and dermatologists suggest waiting at least 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, but this can vary depending on individual healing processes and the specifics of your procedures.

It's important to have a detailed discussion with both your plastic surgeon and dermatologist. They can provide personalized advice based on your overall health, healing progress, and skin condition. They may also want to monitor your healing closely to ensure it's safe to begin Accutane.

Additionally, Accutane has known side effects, including dryness and potential impacts on wound healing, so careful consideration and professional guidance are essential.
