Best Dermal Filler(s) to Prevent Post-Filler Lumpiness?

Radiesse in Nov. with resultant visible raised lumps under left eye that didn't respond to massage. Sept 2010 changed to Perlane and the Radiesse lumps were no longer visible. Now those lumps are visible again and lumps have now appeared under my right eye.I am 55 yo white female & bruise easily only during these txs.

Bumps after dermal filler injection
