A woman whose face was deformed after receiving black market injections from a self-proclaimed ‘physician’ had the cement nodules removed from under her skin after more than a decade.
On Tuesday’s season premiere of E!, 48-year-old transgender woman Rajee Narinesingh of Hollywood, Florida, met with Los Angeles-based surgeons Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif for the second time.

‘The day we leave medical school, we say, “Doctor do no harm.” Rajee has never been offered a surgical treatment because the risks exceed the potential advantages,’ Dr. Dubrow said.

Oneal Ron Morris, a ‘toxic tush’ doctor, performed illegal plastic surgery on Rajee using Fix-a-Flat, Super Glue, and mineral oil.
After the life-changing injections, Rajee had a lumpy face but was too humiliated to report it.
Rajee received softening injections and laser treatments from Dr. John Martin of Coral Gables Cosmetic Reconstructive Surgery in 2012 for the damaging operation.
Rajee went on Botched in 2015 to have her cement nodules removed, but Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif decided it was safer to leave them.
Doctors were eager to examine Rajee’s face again a year later because Dr. Dubrow wanted to help her, but Dr. Nassif was still skeptical.

Dr. Dubrow informed the cameras, ‘I have to make sure my approach is a conservative one, it’s wise and it doesn’t take any undo thoughtless risks with Rajee’s face.
Dr. Dubrow informed Rajee that he and Dr. Nassif had two main reservations about surgically removing her facial tumors.
The doctor said they’re scared that removing the cement may ‘activate the inflammatory process’ and make her face a ‘inflammatory mess’.
Another issue was that the ‘masses envelop all the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, and cutting them out would inflict a lot of damage to the skin’ and affect her nerves.
Rajee kept her sense of humor despite the circumstances.
Rajee returns to Botched for face cement removal.
Failure: Rajee, who appeared on Botched in 2015, visited with doctors a year after asking them to remove her cement nodules but was informed it wasn’t safe.

After Dr. Dubrow informed her that he and Dr. Nassif would inspect both sides of her face, she joked about being double-teamed by doctors. Baby, I’ve come far.
Rajee’s face nodules have been “treated with very judicious injections of steroids which has stabilized them from an inflammatory point of view,” Dr. Dubrow informed the cameras.
At the consultation, he excitedly told Rajee that the steroids ‘have really localized things’ and lowered inflammation, allowing the physicians to view the cement lumps under her skin.
Dr. Nassif was impressed and advised Dr. Dubrow to feel two ‘very circumscribed’ lesions on her face.
‘Last year surgery wasn’t possible. Now? Dr. Nassif informed the cameras Terry may be right.

The physicians agree to try surgery, but Dr. Dubrow cautioned Rajee that he intended to start with one region, which could require numerous surgeries.
In Rajee’s first surgery, surgeons removed a little bit of cement from her chin. Within a week, her chin was recovering well, suggesting the surgery was successful.
Dr. Dubrow scheduled another surgery to remove the golf ball-sized cement lumps in her cheeks after testing.
A nurse told Dr. Dubrow that Rajee was ‘gurgling’ when her anesthetic wore off during the second procedure, causing problems.
Full of hope: Rajee was authorized for surgery, but Dr. Dubrow wanted to operate on one area at a time, which could require numerous surgeries.

Dr. Dubrow said this was bad. When a patient wakes up during surgery, they may not know where they are and start writhing.
Their blood pressure can rise due to nervousness, and you lose control of your surgical field. So a relaxed patient under anesthesia is crucial.
After modifying her anesthesia, Dr. Dubrow began removing the cement off her cheek, which was painful.
The doctor used a bone saw to delicately remove the cement without damaging her face’s muscles or nerves.
After hours of surgery, Dr. Dubrow removed all the cement off his patient’s face, which was previously deemed impossible.

Rajee told a 2014 interviewer that she sought black market injections from Morris to look like a beautiful woman, not a male in a dress.
Rajee thought she was a ‘feminine homosexual male’ until her mid-20s when she realized she was transsexual.
I always saw myself with breasts and a vagina when I fantasized about boys. I didn’t aware I was doing it—it seemed natural. My mind clicked and I realized, “You’re not gay, you’re transgender.”
She said, ‘The last thing I wanted was to appear like a man in a dress. It was my dream to be gorgeous.
If you want to be a real woman, you require face and body repair. I decided on injections. Our community calls it pumping.
Price of beauty: Rajee, pictured before her cement fillers, turned to the illicit market to feel beautiful.

She was excited for her first meeting with Morris, even though she wasn’t seeing a professional surgeon.
“I was more excited than nervous because I was finally going to be the woman I had always wanted to be,” she said.
After the injections, she developed a massive boil on her face that became larger and then “green pus exploded out of my face and onto the mirror.” It had blood and green and yellow.
