Risk of Granulomas with Fillers?

Anon1948
I was planning to get fillers (restylane or juvederm) for my nose to mouth lines (administered by a fully qualified plastic surgeon). But I'm really worried about the risk of granulomas. What is the probability of these occuring? And how severe are they? Realistically can they be treated? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I usually have no problems with allergies, infections etc
