microdroplet silicone afte accutane

Postby frannyT » Sun Oct 23, 2011 4:27 pm

hi Dr. Lam,
i'm female, mid 20's. i'm on second course of accutane and will be finishing it in the next month. i have has rolling and boxcar scar on both of my cheek. some measure up to 3-4mm but not too deep.
how long do i have to wait after accutane to receive either TCA or silicone filler?
i will be coming from the east coast, could i book a consultation and have the procedure performed same day?

thank you, Franny

yes, you may book the same day but you cannot have TCA for 12 to 18 months following stopping accutane. the silicone i can do while you are still on accutane.
best,
sml
