Cheek implants and Accutane?
Asked 2014-11-12
I would like to get cheek implants, and I've just finished a 6 month course of Accutane. Is it okay to get the implants 3 months after finishing Accutane? I know that Accutane affects scarring, but there will be no external incisions for this procedure.

A very good question. Most practitioners are most likely going to consider waiting at least one year of cessation of Accutane for elective surgery to avoid possible peri-operative complications.
