I had a rhinoplasty by a peel known rhino specialist, he advised I take accutane to shrink the thick sebatious skin on my nose! I tried to get it via one dermatologist, he declined! I have since been advised by multiple rhinoplasty Dr’s both here and in Europe to take accutane prior to seeking another surgery to reduce my nose! What is everyone’s opinion on this, have you seen this help? Dermatologists is there anyone who will prescribe for this purpose?
