Would diced cartilage block blood vessel?

Question

rhinoplasty with DCF is amazing. But I have this concern that diced cartilage would enter the blood stream and block the blood vessel and cause danger? Because I ve heard fat transplant in Brazilian butt lift could travel into blood stream and block the vessel to cause danger?

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

There is nothing to worry about. The cartilage will not migrate into blood vessels. Butt fat transfer is different. Fat enters the blood stream because the surgeon unknowingly injects fat into blood vessels in the buttock region. The situation in rhinoplasty with DCF is entirely different.

Hello if you don't have any chronic diseases you will not have any problems for using cartilage to your nose

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

DCF (Diced cartilage fascia) provides permanent results without the risk of warping or resorption of en bloc rib cartilage, and with a much lower rate of migration, infection, or extrusion than synthetic grafts. With a rhinoplasty surgeon experienced in this technique, diced cartilage wrapped in fascia is a consistent, reliable, long-lasting technique for creating dorsal augmentation with excellent results. Results are very surgeon dependent, so choosing the right surgeon is important. Consult with 2-3 of these surgeons in person and determine your comfort level with their approach, demeanor, and before and after results. Good luck! @drdonyoo
