Is Silicone Microdroplet Technique on the nose safe in the hands of a highly experienced and qualified plastic surgeon?

Tigerfan7777
5 years ago I had rhinoplasty. In two follow-up visits, the surgeon used the microdroplet technique to inject liquid silicone into one side of my nose. Since I have been fine for about 5 years, what are the chances of having a problem with the microdroplet nose injections over the course of my lifetime? (note I am 43 years old) If I do have a problem with the silicone drops in my nose, can they be neutralized and/or removed or is this something that could become life threatening?
