Can silicone migrate into my bloodstream even though it never was injected into a vein or artery? Is this the only way?

SeekAnswers
I got silicone injections 2 years ago. I know I should of never got it. I was young and dumb, I know there is risk of silicone migrating but can it migrate into my bloodstream later on in life? Or is injecting it in the vein the only way it can reach my blood?
