Is it possible to develop allergy to silicon implants?

Asked By:8Curious888 in Little York, NJ

I had rhinoplasty silicon implant to my nose for over 15 years. Recently I had been regularly having inflamed turbinates and consistent sore throat. The ENT suggested that this is a chronic condition. Is it likely that I have developed an allergy to the silicon implant?
