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.
目前仍有人非法进行大量高粘性液体的皮下注射，且常常是由无资质人员操作。15名男变女的变性者就注射高达8升所谓的硅胶或矿物油来使身体女性化后所产生的严重长期后果向作者咨询。经过长达17年的潜伏期后，这些注射引发了从疤痕形成、畸形到感染等一系列并发症。这些患者针对炎症和感染接受了保守治疗，或通过切除受油浸润区域进行了手术治疗。鉴于潜在的危险，通过注射高粘性液体来实现女性化的做法应受到严厉谴责。
