Looking for a short story

Hey - many years ago when I was seven or eight, I read a short story
that I believe was written by Kurt Vonnegut - at least that's the name
that's stuck in my head all these years.

It was about a girl who turns to plastic. Humans have consumed all
the natural resources on earth, and now everything from housing to
food is manufactured in plastic. She wakes one morning, discovers
she's pliable plastic, and plays with her facial features. When she
goes downstairs to breakfast her parents do not recognize her and
throw her out. She wanders a bit, but then takes a photograph of
herself to a plastic surgeon, who corrects her features. She goes
home to her parents.

I've looked for this story for years with no luck - and although I
think Vonnegut wrote it, it's now been 30 years and I could be wrong.
Does this story ring a bell with anyone?

Thanks!

Not any Vonnegut story I've ever seen, and I've read everything published in
book form.
