非法皮下注射大量高粘度液体的做法仍然存在，而且往往是由不合格的人进行的。15名男变女的变性人咨询了作者，询问他们在注射多达8升所谓的硅胶或矿物油以使身体女性化后的毁灭性长期结果。经过长达17年的潜伏期，这些注射导致了从疤痕和畸形到感染的并发症。这些患者接受保守治疗炎症和感染或手术切除石油出没的地区。考虑到潜在的危险，通过注射高粘度液体使女性化的做法应受到严厉谴责。
Illicit subcutaneous injections of massive quantities of highly viscous fluids are still performed, often by unqualified persons. Fifteen male-to-female transsexuals consulted the authors regarding their devastating long-term outcomes after the injection of up to 8 liters of alleged silicone or mineral oil to feminize their bodies. After a latency period of up to 17 years, these injections led to complications ranging from scarring and deformity to infections. These patients were treated conservatively for inflammation and infection or surgically by resection of the oil-infested areas. In view of the potential dangers, feminization by the injection of high-viscosity fluids should be soundly condemned.
