As she grew older, she wanted her appearance to match her identity, leading her to pursue cosmetic procedures.

Ashamed and fearful, she withdrew from public life and avoided seeking legal help.<\/p>\n<p>In 2012, she began corrective treatments with a qualified surgeon, which gradually improved her appearance. Later, in 2016, doctors on Botched performed several procedures over weeks to remove the toxic materials. These treatments significantly restored her face and confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Morris was eventually sentenced to prison in 2017 after a patient\u2019s death. Years later, Rajee publicly forgave her.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Rajee lives in Florida and has rebuilt her life.
