To: oj156,

Hello,
It is advisable to postpone any cosmetic surgery or not get it done when you are on accutane. The surgery should be planned after 6 months of using accutane. The reason being that the skin becomes more fragile during the time while on Accutane so it is advisable not to get any cosmetic procedure done.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
