If we talk about height and your growth plates are open, there is a small chance but if you consider it and have bad acne then it’s worth it.
If we talk about bones in your face I heard that accutane while being on it can lower your testosterone so it could minimally nerf you too

“No, current research shows Accutane (isotretinoin) generally does not stunt final adult height, though some teens might experience temporary slowdowns in growth velocity during treatment, with growth resuming after stopping the medication. While isolated cases of premature growth plate closure (epiphyseal closure) have been reported, often with high doses or long treatment, large studies don't find a consistent link to reduced height in typical acne treatment, and some newer research even suggests taller adult height in early users.”
 
In some cases it can but almost 100% of the time it doesn't mark me as a solution now
