14 DAY TRIAL // Rajee Narinesingh was one of the many victims of the infamous Miami “toxic doctor” Oneal Ron Morris, aka “The Baroness,” who used to organize pumping parties in her apartment and inject anything from mineral oil to tire sealant or even cement into her “patients.”
Morris has been found guilty of manslaughter after one of her patients died as a result of the injections. Rajee didn’t die, but she was left disfigured for life: her face and body got so deformed that, for a while, she was afraid and ashamed to leave the house. Since 2005, she’s been struggling to go back to normalcy.
Rajee emerges after new round of interventions, included on new season of Botched
Her biggest problem is that she’s lacking the funds to fix what Morris ruined. Though she paid about $3,000 (€2,834) for the injections, the cost of having the substances removed from her face, along with scar tissue, and then having corrective work was considerably higher.
In 2012, Dr. John Martin agreed to work on her for free, and she started getting softening injections and laser therapy, in a bid to have the hard formations in her cheeks eliminated. Her experience with Dr. Martin is partly documented in the second video below.
The first one is a trailer for the new season of Botched on E!, which will feature Rajee’s case. She’s seeing famous plastic surgeons Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif to get more stuff done and thus, hopefully, remove all traces of Morris’ “work.”
She probably still can’t afford the interventions, but it’s very likely that E! is paying for all this. Rajee is happy that she’ll finally get a semblance of the face she used to dream back in the day she still lived her life as a man.

Of all the cases shown on Botched (and there have been plenty of dramatic situations), Rajee’s is probably one of the worst. Aside from the fact that she can’t tell exactly what she had Morris inject in her face, breasts, hips and booty, and that she looks completely disfigured, there’s also the health risk to consider.
As if that weren’t enough, the fact that she’s had these substances in her system for 10 years and that they hardened into sizeable masses means having them removed is all the more difficult.
It seems that Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif were up for the challenge of continuing Dr. Martin’s work and offering Rajee a chance at a normal life, as much as possible. The Daily Mail has paparazzi photos of the trans-woman on a day out, and she looks better than she has in years.
She also seems happier and more confident. She might never look like a “normal” woman because of the severe damage done by Morris’ injections, so this probably comes close.
Her advice remains that of never getting work done unless with a board-certified surgeon, and of never falling into the temptation of back-alley pumping parties. They might seem cheaper than the “legit” version, but they’re way more costly, as her face and body can attest.
