How difficult is removal or reduction of DCF nose graft one year post op?

The diced cartilage graft is designed to incorporate into your tissue and this is what would make removal somewhat difficult though not impossible.The real question is going to be what to do once the cartilage is removed. You have an extensive list of concerns and any revision rhinoplasty especially with removal of the graft, may address some of your issues but possibly not all.You need a consultation with an experienced surgeon with a special interest in rhinoplasty, from there you can assess what may be possible from a revision rhinoplasty and plan the best way forward.I hope that helps and all the bestJeremy Hunt       

The graft can be removed or reduced without much difficulty.Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds
of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the
plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a
sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

For a surgeon experienced with diced cartilage fascia grafts, complete removal is fairly straightforward.  Adjusting the size, shape or height of the graft requires some additional manipulation and may or may not require additional harvesting of graft material depending on the condition of the DCF.  

This could be difficult after 1 year.
Perhaps you have had more than one rhinoplasty and these have been open ?
Best option might be to seek a second opinion from a very experiencd surgeon who has dealt with a lot of secondary cases.

The graft can be removed, the size or shape changed, and then replaced. Try talking to your surgeon one more time before consulting with a revision rhinoplasty specialist.
