Is Accutane (for acne) okay to take 7 weeks post op from Breast Augmentation and tummy tuck?

We usually don't like to do surgery on patients who have been on Accutane until 6 months to a year until they have stopped.  It is believed that Accutane could result in abnormal scarring.  Similarly, I would think that most surgeons would not want you to take Accutane for some time after surgery.  Please ask your surgeon before taking this medication.

It is not recommended to take Accutane after surgery however, since you are 7wks postop this is really up to your plastic surgeon. You  should ask him or her.

Accutane will not hinder your surgery or results from breast augmentation or a tummy tuck. Accutane will harm someone if they have a chemical peel or laser resurfacing. 

Accutane can inhibit the growth of new skin cells.  However by 7 weeks after surgery your skin incisions should be healed and you should not need to regenerate new skin cells.  However you must ask your plastic surgeon for specific advice.  Your wounds may not be fully healed so you need an examination and the opinion of your plastic surgeon.  Do not rely on the Internet advice.
