Site enhancement oil are compounds injected into muscles to increase their size. Synthol[1] is injected into muscles to create larger bulges, or injecting PMMA into muscles to shape them. Use of PMMA to shape muscles is prohibited in the United States.[2] However, it is not illegal to use synthol.[3][4]
Site enhancement oil, often called santol or synthol (no relation to the
sclerosing lipogranuloma,[9] stroke,[1] and the formation of oil-filled granulomas, cysts or ulcers in the muscle.[8][10][11] Rare cases might require surgical intervention to avoid further damage to the muscle and/or to prevent loss of life.[citation needed

Sesame oil is often used in such mixtures, which can cause allergic reactions such as vasculitis.[12]
As the injected muscle is not actually well-developed, it might droop under gravity.[6]
