How long after being off of accutane can you get a BA UTM? Is there increased risk of scaring and capsular contracture?
Answer: Accutane Your surgeon will advise on her/his policy, but it is best to be off Accutane for six months prior to having surgery. There is much that is still unknown about capsular contracture, so it is best to err on the side of caution. Your surgeon will advise you further based on your medical history and surgical plan.

Answer: 6 months Hello and thank you for your question. It usually is recommend to wait at least 6 months from your last dose to perform elective surgery, as it could impact scaring and healing. Each plastic surgeon is different, so make sure to ask your plastic surgeon about his pre-op requirement. A clearance from your dermatologist could be needed. Hope this helps! Make sure to ask your plastic surgeon all your questions during your consultation!

Answer: Surgery I would suggest being off Accutane one month prior to surgery and not take for least another month. However, listen to what your surgeon tells you. You must be off at least one week to decrease the risk of blood pressure problems.
