Should I Complete Accutane Before Having Tummy Tuck?

TsMom23
I am beginning Accutane in a few days. I also am considering a Tummy Tuck. Should I wait until I have completed the Accutane treatment before I have the surgery, or is it okay to have surgery while on this medication? If I should wait, how long after the Accutane should I wait?
