Isotretinion treatment by itself does not preclude a patient from laser liposuction. However, Isotretinoin is processed by liver enzymes that also process lidocaine. Great caution should be exercised in doing liposuction with medications that could interfere with liodcaine metabolism; the potential for lidocaine toxicity is higher. Patients off of isotretinoin for a month would not be at risk. If liposuction is to be done, while on accutane; only small areas should be done to limit the amount of lidocaine used. Consult with an expert in liposuction and discuss the issue openly.
