Accutane after Rhinoplasty

[Cheese06]

I had rhinoplasty about a month ago. How long do I have to wait before I can start taking isotretinoin?

6 months after

Do you think 3 months are way to risky?

Accutane slows down wound healing so it depends on how brutal the rhino was. I would do 6 months to make sure but if your rhino was minimal then 3 months could be fine

Accutane is safe to use while getting surgeries. The fact that it affects you is old and wrong. I hopped on 2 weeks post surgery and everything went well. Even my doc told me its all good.

Hmm yea after doing some research apparently delayed wound healing and increased scarring while on accutane isn't actually based on any evidence

But the nasal tip should be soft before starting after a rhino I guess
