What are the results of Silikon1000 as you age?

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on managing, treating, and correcting acne scarring. (Of note, Dr. Lam is focused principally on acne scarring rather than on managing the ongoing condition of acne, which a dermatologist would be better equipped to address.)

What are the results of Silikon1000 as you age?

Dr. Lam,

I have been doing a lot of research about Silikon 1000 and I hope you might have an answer for a question I have come across. Once Silikon 1000 has been injected into acne scarring, what will be the outcome as you age 30 years down the line? I understand this is a permanent filler and done in small increments. Will you age with a normal appearance? The thought of a permanent filler correcting the problem now is great but also a bit over whelming when consider aging. After Silikon 1000 has been injected and that person would like to have some other kind of work done in the future such as a peel, laser,face lift or even perhaps reconstructive surgery such as rhinoplasty will this cause any complications?

Thanks for your time.

i have been doing it for close to 10 years with a good safety record. i am basing my long-term safety results from a colleague who has had 45 years of follow up on thousands of his patients showing safety over that time frame.
best,
