Life has a way of changing and sometimes, the changes can be very difficult to handle. Nobody knows this better than Rajee Narinesingh, who experienced something traumatic.
Rajee Narinesingh is a 48-year-old transgender from Hollywood, Florida who went to a ‘pumping party’ in 2005. Unfortunately, her face was disfigured after a black-market injection came from a ‘physician’ at the party.
For a decade, she lived with the cement nodules underneath her skin and the damage that was thought to be untreatable. It was something that affected her negatively in many different ways but things were about to change.
On the season premiere of the reality series Botched, Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif met with Narinesingh to see what could be done. They are cosmetic surgeons based in Los Angeles, and if anybody could help, they could.
Dr. Dubrow explained the importance of doctors ‘doing no harm’ and many will stick to it after graduating from medical school. She had never been offered a surgical solution because the possible benefits were outweighed by the potential risks. The two doctors had even turned her away last year.
They were willing to try it again and after removing the cement nodules from her face, the transformation was incredible. You could easily see the difference, and undoubtedly it was life-changing.
Looking back to 2005, Oneal Ron Morris was the quack who injected the superglue and mineral oil under her skin. Even Fix-a-Flat, which is used for flat tires is used in this type of procedure.
Unfortunately, it left her with a face that had hard lumps all over it and she was afraid to go to the authorities, but she was also embarrassed.
In 2012, she was given laser therapy and softening injections by a reconstructive surgeon in Coral Gables, but it was a temporary fix, at best.
When she appeared on Botched in 2015, she was hoping to have the work done but was turned away because they felt it was a safer option to leave her face as is. The next year, they gave her another look because she was desperate for help.
Not only were they able to remove the lumps, she was given her dignity back again. It was many years in the coming but we are so happy that she had the issue resolved.
