Even no side effect appears for 5 or 10 years silicone implant still can have the problem of obviousness. It's one of the main complaints from patient who had silicone surgery. In addition to the obviousness if silicone ages longer than 20 years it can be calcified and deformed (Refer to 202 article of More Information). 

The patient in the picture also experienced thinness and redness on the nasal tip and decided to have revision using rib cartilage because he was afraid of extrication of the implant.
