Narinesingh came out as a [[transgender]] woman in the late 1990s, and began [[Gender transitioning|transitioning.]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://scribol.com/lifestyle/health-and-beauty/fake-doctor-injected-cement-face-botched-rajee-narinesingh/|title=When A Fake Doctor Injected Her Face With Cement, This Woman Was Left Disfigured For 11 Years|date=21 December 2016|website=Scribol.com|accessdate=12 December 2017}}</ref> In 2005, as an effort to feminize her appearance, she went to Oneal Ron Morris seeking [[Injectable filler|filler injections]] in her face, breasts and hips. Morris, also known as “The Duchess”, is also a transgender woman, and was known in the local Miami trans community for providing cheap alternatives to expensive, professional plastic surgery.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nypost.com/2016/05/11/i-survived-botched-plastic-surgery/|title=I survived botched plastic surgery|date=11 May 2016|website=Nypost.com|accessdate=12 December 2017}}</ref> Although Narinesingh, at the time, believed her to have some medical training, Morris was not a licensed doctor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/13/rajee-narinesingh_n_4783079.html|title=Rajee Narinesingh, Victim Of Fake Doctor, Gets Relief For Her 'Cement Face' (VIDEO)|first=David|last=Moye|date=13 February 2014|publisher=[[Huff Post]]|accessdate=12 December 2017}}</ref> The fillers, which Narinesingh believed to be silicone, turned out to be a mixture of [[concrete]], tire sealant, mineral oil and glue. Narinesingh was unaware of this for several months following the injections, until her body began to react negatively to the substances and her skin began to swell. The fillers hardened under Narinesingh's skin, causing nodules to form where the chemicals were injected. Too embarrassed to seek help, she spent the next few years hardly leaving her home. Finally, at the urging of a friend, she went to see plastic surgeon Dr. John J. Martin. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/beauty/anti-aging/news/a38436/woman-with-cement-in-her-face-botched/|title=Woman With Cement in Her Face Gets Help From Plastic Surgeons|date=12 May 2016|website=Goodhousekeeping.com|accessdate=12 December 2017}}</ref> Martin agreed to treat her for free, and began conducting [[ultrasound]] treatment and started Narinesingh on a course of anti-inflammatory medication, which lasted several years. In 2015 Narinesingh was finally ready to have most of the concrete removed from her face, and underwent four surgeries over seven weeks, a process which was documented in season 3 of the ''E!'' [[reality show]] ''Botched''. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://extratv.com/2016/05/19/transformation-cement-face-woman-rajee-from-botched-debuts-new-look/|title=Transformation!
