Is Silikon 1000 a safer permanent filler compared to artefill?

anonymousgirl89
I'm seeking a permanent non-surgical nose job filler. However after reading many reviews on artefill, it seems like granulomas are common. A few surgeons have told me that granulomas were common with the old artefill formula but not with the new one. I do see that silkon-1000 is often used for non-surgical rhinoplasty and the percentage of satisfaction seems much higher. Is silikon 1000 safer than artefill? If injected correctly would granulomas still occur several years down the line?
