What are the chances of having a reaction to silikon 1000 years later?

jaybabyoverhere
I am considering getting silikon 1000 in my nose for the supraalar pinching. What are the chances of having a reaction years later? I have read people having rashes or their faces swelling up/blowing up years later, but not sure if they're referring to medical or industrial silicone. For ex: Carol Bryan. The info out there is confusing. Also what are the chances of a revision rhinoplasty going bad? Which has a higher chance of coming out badly? Traditional revision rhinoplasty or silikon 1000?
