I finally went on Accutane for my mild acne, oily skin and bad blackheads and clogged pores that were taking over and scaring and ruining my skin.
I am on Accutane 40mg at the 2 month mark but am due for a revistion nose job. The first one did not do what I wanted so the doctor is going to perform a revisition open nose job this time.
I have scars form the first one were my nostrils were narrowed and now there will be a scar underneath the middle of my nose. I am not sure if I should wait until I am off Accutane which won't be for another 3 months or I should even wait 6 months after that or is it safe to have trhe se=urgery now.
I am afraid of really bad scaring because my skin won't heal well while on the Accutane. I picked some pimples while on tane and they are taking forever to heal and I am concerned the incisions from the surgery will do the same.
Does anyone have experience with this?? I would really apprieciate what you think about this. I really want to do my noses because I have been waitng to finally have it done right but don't want to make myself look worse because of my impatience.
Thanks for your help and this Board Rocks. I am so glad I found it I am like addicted to it!!! LOL
Absolutely NOT. And wait at least one whole year after you take your last pill before you even consider any type of invasive cosmetic procedure.
I had emergency knee surgery; had to stop Accutane and could not restart it because of the surgery. Well. Healing took many many months and I had to wear a knee immobilizer for 3 whole freaking months. Even now I have pain (11 years later).
Do not risk it. Very very unwise.
I would recommend to wait atleast a month AFTER your course of accutane.
Sh*t, that is what I was afraid of. I sooooooooooo want my nose revision done but I will have to wait. I also started having fat grafts taken out before starting Accutane and I guess I am going to have to wait to continue with that.. Well at least my skin will look good. I had to start doing something because the longer I waited the more blackheads were taking over and leaving big enlarged pores from me picking. If I could stop alll that I guess the nose and cheeks can wait. I am going to be HOT one day it is only going to take until I am 80 though LOL. I am going to be the hottest 80 year old around!!!!!
I always visit a good Doctor for any medical advise about medicine even though i do check the reviews
