Silikon Injection Problems Years Later?

Is there anyone who developed problems years later? Professor Peter Hutt and Tamara Tilleman,MD wrote in 2005 .." silicone became notorious for devastating results. FDA considers silicone injections dangerous, but legal loophole - arising from approval of Silikon 1000) for treating detached retinas has resulted this being legal since 1994. FDA law allows doctors to administer "legally marketed device to patients, so doctors may inject silicone off-label use." I was looking for permanent results & for $750, this was not only a huge disappointment; but now I'm wondering if I have to worry about future lumps, migration and nodules?

I just want to say that it has been two years later and I had no problem with the silicon migrating. I was not happy with the original cost vs no noticable results but strangely enough, after I had 10 microcurrent and some collegen treatments this last year to my face, my lips do seem bigger so it has all worked out pretty much and I would do it again. Will upload picture if I can.
