Permenant Silicone Filler In Nose (3 Years Ago) Problems After Wearing Glasses Can the silicone go into my bloodstream even now?

csv223
I had silicone filler to in my nose. I had an eye infection and had to wear my glasses that slid down and were heavy for a week. The nose pads were hard and didnt press directly but pressure around it. The skin is different, there is a slight hot tingling sensation. Looks somewhat different. Nosril on that side a little blocked. -can the silicone go into my bloodstream even now? -can it shift? did it? -what about removal? -is it still silicone, or had it turned to my own body's tissue?
