After a granuloma reaction to Volbella. Will my immune system create granulomas if I do fillers in the future? (Photo)

sccetti
I have had fillers for 7 years, including Voluma, Juvederm XC, and Restylane Silk, with no issues. After being injected with Volbella last year, approximately 4 months later, I simultaneously developed 4 granulomas. After taking steroids followed by Doxycycline, the granulomas are still there, but much flatter and smaller. My question is whether I can have dermal fillers (no more Volbella!) again at a future date, or will my immune system respond by creating more granulomas?? Please advise!!
