Possible Side Effects of Silicone Buttock Injections?

I had silicone butt injections 5 years ago. What type of future problems from silicone butt injections should I look out for, or may be a possibility? I have read about embolisms and silicone getting into the lungs. Is this something that can happen to me at any given time, would it happen or would it have already happened to me by now?

Complications after silicone butt injection

Silicone injections, regardless of location, can result in contour irregularity, dimpling, infection, migration, nodules, granulomas, inflammatory reaction, and deformity. Treatment of silicone injections is difficult and should be done in a comprehensive and regulated fashion.
