How long should I wait to be off Accutane before getting Juvederm lip fillers?

Question

I just finished accutane after being on it for 6 months and I want to get lip fillers, however, I know a lot of doctors recommend you wait a month after or even six months after stopping accutane for any cosmetic procedures, but I've only read up on that for procedures like rhinoplasty. Would it be the same about of time of wait time for lip fillers?

Daniel Levy, MD · Answer

After (or even during) treatment with accutane, it is safe to have a filler or any injectable treatment such as Botox, Kybella.Good luck!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Juvederm can be injected while on isotretinoin without issues.  I suggest seeing an expert, use cannulas to limit complications.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Kyle Coleman, MD · Answer

There is no known risk of combining accutane and fillers.  Some physicians avoid surgical procedures with accutane; however, this is likely unnecessary.  Some laser procedures have been reported to have increased risk of complications with accutane; however, this data is also now in question to its relevance today.

There is no need to wait before having lip fillers done when going off of Accutane. Accutane is not a contraindication to dermal fillers, only surgical procedures and skin resurfacing procedures such as chemical peels or laser resurfacing. Be sure to see a board-certified dermatologist for any lip filler treatments for the best results.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

You can inject Juvederm, Restylane or any other filler you like while you're on Accutane or after. Accutane reduces skin healing, and so this is mainly an issue with acne scar laser resurfacing which should be delayed after a course of accutane from 6-12 months. No issue getting filler right away in your case.
