Does ACCUTANE GIVE YOU A NOSE JOB? | Dr Dray

[@user-pf7vh3qx6h]

I was on Accutane for a year and half and I can attest to this. I noticed my nose got smaller after Accutane but like Dr. Dray said in her video it’s due to smaller pore size

[@user-pf7vh3qx6h]

Not really but using Retin-A or Tretinon really does help keep you’re pores smaller thus keeping your nose looking smaller.

Why did you take accutane for this long? I ask bc , it sounds like it's a commitment. I thought it was more of a month fix.

[@user-pf7vh3qx6h]

@@Jblasian8 I took it for that long because I was on a very low dose to minimize side effects. you have to meet a certain dosage to really get all the benefits. Usual treatment duration is between 5-7 months depending on the dosage you take.

I heard about this rumor on tiktok about a year ago and I absolutely thought it was a total lie. But now that I have been on Accutane for around 2 months I genuinely think it changes the “mass” of your nose. It’s less bulbous and more defined and I know this because I take a picture of myself every day for almost a year now for a time-lapse project I’m doing. I really think there should be more research studies around this.

People are less likely to think critically when they’re young because they’re still really young. I think that’s a huge part of it honestly. Critical thinking skills seem far and few between these days as it is, yet these particular skills are more important than people often realise or remember. It just doesn’t seem to come as naturally for some folks; many people actually intuitively lack them. A of people are very easily influenced and do not learn to think for themselves, because they fail to consciously recognise that they’re prone to such behaviours and thus may cause issues in the long term. I very much agree that it’s also a lot to do with social media as a whole, for sure.

Accutane saved my skin. I didn't have severe acne, but my skin would scar very easily and my acne was resistant to other treatments. A low dose fixed my skin and allowed me to start working on correcting the scarring I was developing that had the potential to be disfiguring. I remember being so nervous when I was taking it for the first few weeks, so I wish people would realize that fear mongering does have actual real life consequences. So many people write it off immediately because of the stories out there.

I suffered from severe cystic acne for many years and tried everything I could to sort it out. I eventually went on accutane for 4 months and it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Whilst I did experience side effects- the skin on my lips would peel constantly, I was stable and much much happier because finally something was working. I am really grateful to Dr Dray for addressing some of the deeply unhelpful stigma surrounding accutane- even my own Dr was guilty of this. My dermatologist was really great and I was monitored very closely throughout. I am 5 years post treatment and whilst I still do get a flare of pimples around the time of period, my skin is so, so much better.

So I’m currently on accutane and overall I think my face looks a lot more attractive to myself because my face is clear. My nose does look a little smaller but it’s because there aren’t as many bumps and blackheads on it which can look inflamed. My lips look nicer because I drench them in aquaphor and chapstick.

Accutane saved my face, I had cystic acne that was painful and I was scared my face would scar. After accutane, it went away however, the side affects really make me want to label accutane as a last resort.

Thalidomide was never approved for use in the US for what it was first marketed for, that is, for pregnant women to take for nausea while pregnant. Even though Canada, and many other countries approved Thalidomide, specifically for pregnant women to use, America had a very sharp FDA (Food and Drug Administration) official (a woman as it so happens), who would not approve this drug.

Not true

[@ye23.]

Noses do change as you get older, but they normally get bigger and droop down

[@star_fruitti]

@@ye23. that may be true but I’m 25 now and my nose is a lot cuter than it was when I was younger, but I also lost a lot of baby fat as I’ve gotten older just from actually working out and having a better diet etc.

Accutane is a miracle drug for some people.

Week 2 Purge, week 4 pimple free. Dry skin was bad but I just lotion in the morning and before bed and it went back to normal. Oh and be careful in the sun, west hat and sunscreen. Good luck everyone it rules!

[@christinamoller5742]

Wow, I’d never heard that thalidomide can be used for itch or that dermatologist is even used it. Chemotherapy drugs make sense. That would be an interesting new video topic -what meds you use for different common conditions 🙏

[@PinCushionQueen]

Yes, great idea!

[@kikijean9204]

I’m sure you have a lot of empathy for Dr. F who needs to continually explain regarding his specialty. 😉 Thanks to u both❣️

Happy Monday Dr Dray...see you tomorrow x💙🤩

[@LDeeSanch]

Thank you for informative video. I will be starting treatment soon. So I'm looking at all your videos regarding Accutane. 🙏😌 Extreme fear mongering that I didn't take it when I should have. And have suffered by my skin.. 🥺 Thank you for this. It eases my mind.

[@flameinhale]

might go on accutane but my dermatologist said we have to try other medications before we even talk about it but my skin makes me feel so insecure

[@Han-nk3io]

Do it. I regret not taking it sooner.

[@nldube0012]

Keep up the great work Dr Dray. This video convinced me to get my son into his dermatologist for his acne. He has XY ichthyosis and your mention of thickening of the skin made me wonder if his acne should be treated differently because of his ichthyosis. Thank you!

[@melonmelon7427]

After being on Accutane twice, 7 months each time, I can tell you it definitely does NOT!! It didn't change the shape of my nose either.

[@garssympa500]

Accutane cured my cystic acne problem. And, it definitely changed the look of my skin... but, no nose job for me, unfortunately.

[@fsc2198]

I dont use tiktok, but in a whatsapp group of acne someone said there was a video of tikotk saying this. I experienced 4 months before knowing the existence of a video (or videos?) that my nose is smaller taking 20mg daily. I used to have extremelt oily nose and forehead since I remember lol. So I strongly believe it dependes of the type of skin nose you had before taking isotretinoin. But people just cant say it does not shrink the nose, because some people like me have experienced it.

Happy Monday Dr Dray! 🥰

[@DrDrayzday]

Happy Monday

[@supermothabug]

hello! i know this is an older video, but i've seen you explain how accutane works several times throughout your videos-- shrinking of sebaceous glands. i still don't quite understand how it works long-term considering they go back to normal after treatment. i would love to see you explain this sometime if possible!

[@debrabritt1581]

Great in depth information. No sleeping here.

[@leelie28]

Love this video! Thanks for always telling it like it is! Also, you look beautiful in that color 😀

Chris Pine is on accurate for cosmetic reasons and I think he overdid it, he has aged a lot over the past few years

[@lowlowflorida]

im pretty sure he went on it as a teenager. So did matthew mcconaughey, emma chamberlaine and way more

[@seeyoucu]

@@lowlowflorida really? Interesting.

[@fsc2198]

How is that posible? Isotretinoin is prescribed as antiaging too.

[@acewingate6993]

@@fsc2198 because with improper sun care and hydration, it can do the opposite

[@hoooyea163]

I would actually want to see more about derm medications of medication in general if u are up to making videos like that

[@LadyLuvsNatr]

Dr Dray could you please do a video on the best sheets to sleep on for healthy skin and to reduce wrinkles? Please recommend brands . Thanks so much.

[@lukeb6771]

Another reason people demonize Accutane is because of the very visible and uncomfortable side effects. People know that when you start Accutane, your face will be raw, red, and flakey. At first, it feels like your face is falling off. And it’s true. But uncomfortable doesn’t mean unsafe. That’s how the drug is expected to work. It subsides after a a month or two, and constant application of a good moisturizer goes a long way.

[@kg89808]

With the use of accutane, my child's hair got extremely curly! No more pasty oil hair.

[@nancynewman1356]

Your video is the most interesting thing I’ve heard or read today. So thanks. I alway learn from you.

[@ChrisandShang]

I'm currently on Accutane and I'd like to speak to the manager. Where's my free nose job???
