What is the Safer Option for Filling in Temples: Radiesse or Sculptra. Which is More Likely to Cause Bumps?

reparata
I want to get my temples filled as there is a hollowness in that area. I was wondering what is safer for filling that area? The last time I had sculptra,, in the temples, it caused bumps that lasted for three years. I had Radiesse, that was diluted by 30%, and when the swelling went down, one siringe of Radiesse, really didn't help much. How much would be needed of both products, and which is less likely to cause bumps? I was told that fat trasfer is not an option for me because I am thin.
