Usher's Wife Suffers Complications from Lipo

Note to self: If your doctor tells you that plastic surgery isn't for you, LISTEN! While we're not sure if Tameka Foster actually consulted a physician, we DO know that her liposuction procedure didn't go as planned. According to the Brazilian news Web site G1, Usher's wife suffered a medical emergency and had to be rushed to the Sirio-Libanes Hospital's intensive care unit last Friday. The 37-year-old apparently went into cardiac and respiratory arrest while she was being anesthetized for her surgery. Doctors put her into a medically-induced coma for 24 hours and is currently recovery.

At this point, Dr. Gabriel Hunt, a neuro-surgeon from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, is handling Foster's case. He left the San Paulo hospital late Monday without making a statement. A spokesperson for Sirio-Libanes Hospital told AFP that the family has requested total privacy and that they are barred from giving out any information.

Meanwhile, Usher's spokesperson Simone Smalls told OK! magazine that Tameka was in stable condition after suffering complications from what she called routine surgery. The 30-year-old singer is with his wife at the hospital, and has cancelled all his concerts in the United States. Smalls reiterated that the family wants privacy during this difficult time.
