Is it safe to have surgical hairline advancement while on low-dose isotretinoin (aka Accutane)?

SJ1385
I take long-term, low-dose isotretinoin (10mg per day) to control very oily skin. I know the conventional advice was to discontinue isotretinoin for several months before any elective procedure. I understand the research and recommendations have evolved and the old advice may be considered outdated. I'm not taking a short course for acne, but am on a long-term, low-dose regimen for oiliness. What would your recommendation be looking ahead to a planned SHA/forehead reduction?
