People will do anything to feel better about their physical bodies (except exercise, of course). Seriously.... I wonder how this gives the body a "more feminine" appearance? Are they making boobs without the implant, or what??

Floor sealant in their bodies? Anything foreign to the body is going to cause problems, that is why rejection drugs are there, but honestly it is incredible as you say, people will do anything to enchance their appearance except exercise!

It is so sad that people can't love themselves enough just the way they are to have to go to such drastic measures. Horrible.

The people affected in this article are trans gender, meaning men wanting to have the appearance of being a woman (or vice versa). Many times, these people are desperate to change their appearance but because of the social stigma, avoid enhancements via traditional routes, i.e. cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery.

It's really very sad for these people because predators promising solutions capitalize on their desperation.

There was something on Dr. G Medical Examiner about a woman injecting that same stuff into her boobs. She didn't aim well and shot it right into her vein and died soon after. She was at a "pumping party" where supposely you go and get your boobs pumped up. Just dumb.

Carole,

Ah, thanks! Isn't she a cutie? She sleeps like that often. I call her "sugar cookies" more than I call her "stinky". LOL!
