Is There a Risk of Migration with Silikon 1000 Injections?

In my opinion, there is no risk of migration with silicone. It is also my opinion that silicone is the ideal filler, especially for lip augmentation.

Rather, on a weekly basis, I correct silicone lip complications resulting from migration, inflammation, nodule formation, and generalized infection.
