What if a single decision left you scarred, housebound, and labeled with a cruel nickname? For Rajee Narinesingh, this nightmare became her reality after a black market plastic surgery disaster. But 14 years later, her incredible story of resilience and transformation will leave you inspired.
A Struggle for Identity
Born in New York on April 7, 1967, Rajee always knew she was different. Growing up in Philadelphia, she felt trapped in a body that didn’t reflect her true self. Desperate to live authentically, she turned to plastic surgery—but high costs forced her to seek cheaper, underground options.
The Surgery That Changed Everything
In 2005, Rajee met Oneal Ron Morris, infamously known as the “toxic tush doctor.” Morris claimed to be a skilled plastic surgeon and offered affordable procedures. Trusting Morris, Rajee endured around ten sessions between 2007 and 2010.
The cost? Just $100 per session. The reality? A horrifying cocktail of cement, superglue, and tire sealant was injected into her face and body. At first, Rajee felt hopeful. But as hardened lumps formed beneath her skin, hope turned to despair. Embarrassed and horrified, she became a recluse, fearing the world’s judgment.
A Journey to Recovery
By 2012, Rajee had hit rock bottom. She felt like a “monster” and was too ashamed to involve the police. But then came a glimmer of hope—Dr. John Martin, a cosmetic surgeon in Coral Gables, stepped in. Through softening injections and laser therapy, he began reversing some of the damage.
Her journey continued in 2016 when she appeared on Botched, where surgeons performed four life-changing procedures over seven weeks. Slowly but surely, Rajee’s confidence returned. She even began dating again, joking about being called a “sexy dragon.”
Life Today: Turning Pain Into Purpose
Rajee has transformed far beyond her physical appearance. Now a passionate advocate for transgender rights, she educates others about the dangers of black market procedures. Her voice has reached global audiences, with appearances on over 30 television shows and three published books about her experiences.
Living in Florida, she dedicates her life to supporting the LGBTQ community and raising awareness about HIV prevention. Rajee doesn’t shy away from her scars, calling them “blessings” that allowed her to connect with others and amplify her advocacy work.
She’s also active on Instagram, where she shares her journey, spreads positivity, and inspires people to embrace their true selves.
Forgiveness and Closure
In 2017, Oneal Ron Morris was sentenced to 10 years in prison after a patient tragically died. In 2021, Morris reached out to Rajee to apologize. Remarkably, Rajee forgave her, choosing to let go of bitterness and focus on growth.
Her story is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the power of turning adversity into strength.
