Can a facial fat transfer be done while on 20mg of Accutane 3 times a week?

Doctors, will the fat from facial fat grafting be disadvantaged if one is currently on Accutane? Or is it safe to have this procedure?

You can resume activity after 7-10 days, if you do excessive exercise and lose weight you may lose some of the transfer.  at 6 weeks the majority of what should stay would have stayed.  Add Sculptra to improve results.  Best, Dr. Emer.
