Us Magazine is reporting that Tameka Raymond, wife of singer Usher suffered a heart attack before undergoing plastic surgery.

Ellen Dastry, spokeswoman for plastic surgeon Silvio Sterman, says Tameka Raymond checked into the Sao Rafael Hospital last Friday for a “simple liposuction.” Dastry said that Raymond suffered a cardiac arrest while being anesthetized for the procedure “but was revived in less than a minute by heart massage.” She was then placed in an induced coma before being taken to the intensive-care unit, a procedure Dastry said was “absolutely normal” and performed in order to “avoid unnecessary complications.”

His rep told Usmagazine.com Monday that she was in “stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery.”

I realize that there are some fab surgeons in Brazil but why didn’t she get the procedure done here?  There is speculation that doctors in the U.S. would not perform liposuction surgery so soon after given birth.

I hope she gets better soon!
