Usher’s wife went in to cardiac arrest before her liposuction. Yeah, she flew to Brazil to get a liposuction procedure done right before his Grammy awards performance.  Like there aren’t enough plastic surgeons in the US to choose from.

More pictures after the secret’s out…

Most likely, Tameka Foster was trying to hide the fact she was going under the knife.  So, head to a foreign country, right? From E! Online:

“The family has demanded total privacy,” a spokeswoman for São Paulo’s Sírio-Libanês hospital told the Agence France-Presse.

“The hospital is barred from giving any information,” said the rep, beyond confirming the 37-year-old mother of two is currently listed in stable condition.

The news site G1 got much more specific, reporting that Foster was rushed to the hospital’s intensive care unit last Friday after going into cardiac and respiratory arrest during a liposuction procedure.

The life-threatening condition reportedly came on as the R&B star’s wife was being anesthetized.

Hmmmm.  Why on earth would you want a liposuction procedure done in Brazil, only 2 months after the birth of your child?  Maybe because they wouldn’t do it in the US?  i hope she is recovering and smarter about plastic surgery in the future!
