Is It Safe to Have Multiple Plastic Surgeries Months After Accutane?

Asked By:alterdrea in London

Hello. I will finish taking Accutane at the beginning of March 2010. I want to have a Breast Reduction, Rhinoplasty and a Brazilian Butt Lift done sometime between July and August 2010.However, I'm concerned that the healing process (specifically of the skin) might not go very well due to the fact that I would've only been off Accutane for 5-6 months by then.Is it alright to have these operations done in that time period, or should I restrain from having them at all (because of Accutane and its side effects)? Thank you very much in advance.
