Rajee Narinesingh (born April 7, 1967) is an American actress, LGBT activist, author, singer, and reality television personality, most widely known for her appearances on the E! Entertainment docu-series, Botched , which documented her struggles to remove cement from her face, breasts and hips after previous mismanaged fillers by a fake doctor. Most of the concrete-like substance was removed from her face after her second appearance on the show. [1]
Narinesingh was born in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, to Boyie "Roop" Narinesingh (died December 2004) and Sandra Narinesingh and was raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Narinesingh has one younger sister. She is of Trinidadian Dougla origin. Her father was Indo-Trinidadian and her mother has French, Afro-Trinidadian, and Polynesian roots. [2] Narinesingh graduated from Franklin Learning Center, a performing arts high school in Philadelphia, later graduating from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. She worked at a Korean-owned jewelry store for close to ten years before relocating to Miami, Florida to work for The American Red Cross.
Narinesingh came out as a transgender woman in the late 1990s, and began transitioning. [3] In 2005, as an effort to feminize her appearance, she went to Oneal Ron Morris seeking 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. [4] Although Narinesingh, at the time, believed her to have some medical training, Morris was not a licensed doctor. [5] 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. [6] 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. [7] She has also appeared on numerous talk shows such as Anderson Cooper 360, Dr. Phil, and The Doctors.
Narinesingh also has a career as an actress and musician, appearing in several movies, such as the 2010 film Bella Maddo, directed by Janice Danielle, [8] and has released several singles, including her 2016 release "Shake My Cement Tits". [9] [10]

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a set of reconstructive surgical procedures that alter typically male facial features to bring them closer in shape and size to typical female facial features. FFS can include various bony and soft tissue procedures such as brow lift, rhinoplasty, cheek implantation, and lip augmentation.
A cannula is a tube that can be inserted into the body, often for the delivery or removal of fluid or for the gathering of samples. In simple terms, a cannula can surround the inner or outer surfaces of a trocar needle thus extending the effective needle length by at least half the length of the original needle. Its size mainly ranges from 14 to 26 gauge. Different-sized cannula have different colours as coded.
Breast augmentation and augmentation mammoplasty is a cosmetic surgery technique using breast-implants and fat-graft mammoplasty techniques to increase the size, change the shape, and alter the texture of the breasts. Augmentation mammoplasty is applied to correct congenital defects of the breasts and the chest wall. As an elective cosmetic surgery, primary augmentation changes the aesthetics – of size, shape, and texture – of healthy breasts.

Filler materials are particles added to resin or binders that can improve specific properties, make the product cheaper, or a mixture of both. The two largest segments for filler material use is elastomers and plastics. Worldwide, more than 53 million tons of fillers are used every year in application areas such as paper, plastics, rubber, paints, coatings, adhesives, and sealants. As such, fillers, produced by more than 700 companies, rank among the world's major raw materials and are contained in a variety of goods for daily consumer needs. The top filler materials used are ground calcium carbonate (GCC), precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), kaolin, talc, and carbon black. Filler materials can affect the tensile strength, toughness, heat resistance, color, clarity, etc. A good example of this is the addition of talc to polypropylene. Most of the filler materials used in plastics are mineral or glass based filler materials. Particulates and fibers are the main subgroups of filler materials. Particulates are small particles of filler that are mixed in the matrix where size and aspect ratio are important. Fibers are small circular strands that can be very long and have very high aspect ratios.
Aesthetic medicine is a branch of modern medicine that focuses on altering cosmetic appearance through the treatment of conditions including scars, skin laxity, wrinkles, moles, liver spots, excess fat, cellulite, unwanted hair, skin discoloration, and spider veins. Traditionally, it includes dermatology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, reconstructive surgery and plastic surgery, surgical procedures, non-surgical procedures, and a combination of both. Aesthetic medicine procedures are usually elective. There is a long history of aesthetic medicine procedures, dating back to many notable cases in the 19th century, though techniques have developed much since then.
Injectable filler is a soft tissue filler injected into the skin at different depths to help fill in facial wrinkles, provide facial volume, and augment facial features: restoring a smoother appearance. Most wrinkle fillers are temporary because they are eventually metabolized by the body. Most dermal fillers today consist of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring polysaccharide that is present in skin and cartilage. Some people may need more than one injection to achieve the wrinkle-smoothing effect. The effect lasts for about six months or longer. Successful results depend on health of the skin, skill of the health care provider, and the type of filler used. Regardless of material filler duration is highly dependent on amount of activity in the region where it is injected. Exercise and high intensity activities such as manual labor can stimulate blood flow and shorten the lifespan of fillers.

A transracial person is one who identifies as a different race than the one associated with their biological ancestry. They may adjust their appearance to make themselves look more like that race, and may participate in activities associated with that race. Use of the word transracial to describe this is new and has been criticized, because the word was historically used to describe a person raised by adoptive parents of a different ethnic or racial background, such as a Black child adopted and raised by a White couple.
