Can a DCF rhinoplasty be performed after receiving a longer-lasting filler like Bellafill to the nose?

Yes, a DCF (deep cartilage framework) rhinoplasty can be performed after receiving a longer-lasting filler like Bellafill to the nose. However, it is recommended to remove the filler prior to undergoing the rhinoplasty procedure. This is because the presence of the filler can make it more challenging for the surgeon to visualize the underlying anatomy and can interfere with the proper placement of the cartilage grafts used in the DCF technique.In some cases, the removal of the filler may not be possible, and in such instances, the surgeon may need to proceed with the rhinoplasty with the filler still in place. However, this can increase the risk of complications, such as infection, displacement, or an adverse reaction to the filler.It is important to discuss your concerns and expectations with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. We can evaluate your individual case, provide guidance on whether the removal of the filler is necessary, and discuss the potential risks and benefits of proceeding with the rhinoplasty.
