Will my L- Shaped Silicone Nose Implant Move Downwards if I Get Botox in the Forehead?

KatinAZ
I've had an L- shaped silicone nose implant put in nearly 7 years ago. Just recently I've decided to try botox on the forehead. For the past few days the tip of my nose has been hurting. I'm wondering if it's because I can no longer lift my eyebrows and the pressure is causing the discomfort. I'm worried that the tip of the implant is going to protrude or move downwards. If anyone is familiar with this, please help explain to me what is happening and the potential outcomes!
