"More victims are coming forward in the Miami Fix- A-Flat plastic surgery case - and the results aren't pretty. Rajee Narinesingh told CBS Miami that accused transgender cosmetic quack Oneal Ron Morris pumped her face full of a toxic brew investigators say was a mix of tire mender, mineral oil and cement, leaving her disfigured for life. Narinesingh, who was born a man, told the station that she was desperate to have plastic surgery and contacted Morris about two years ago after hearing about her through "word of mouth" in the transgender community. "It becomes so dire that you want to match your outside with your inside that you're willing to roll the dice and take your chances," Narinesingh told CBS." - NY Daily News
