Retin A and fat grafting

Postby 1up » Tue Jan 01, 2008 9:33 am

Hi Dr. Lam

Do you think its alright to use retin-a around the tear trough area before one is having fat grafting?

I'm having fat grafting done to the tear trough area at the end of January and would just like to know if its ok to continue using retin-a in that area up until the procedure? and may i also continue to use it straight afterwards?

Thanks so much!

You should be fine so long as we are not doing any skin resurfacing treatments like plasma.
Happy New Year!
