On a low dose of Accutane. How long do I need to wait before undergoing hairline advancement surgery?

While there’s variability in recommendations, many healthcare professionals advise waiting at least six months after completing a course of Accutane before undergoing elective surgeries. This waiting period allows the drug to clear from the body, minimizing potential adverse effects on wound healing.

The duration of treatment and the dose can influence the time it takes for Accutane to leave your system. Since you’ve been on a relatively low dose, it’s possible that the drug might clear from your system faster compared to higher doses. However, individual factors like metabolism can also play a role.


Best of luck !
