I guess people have not learned from the fate of Donda West, the mother of singer Kanye West, who died after complications to plastic surgery. According to media reports, Usher's wife, Tameka Foster is suffering complications from plastic surgery. It has been reported that she suffered complications from a tummy tuck. The singer canceled a performance Saturday night to rush to his ailing wife's side, according to a report.

A neurosurgeon is reportedly on the way to South America to aid Usher's wife of a little over a year. Without speculating why a neurosurgeon went to visit her, the signs are telling. As you know a neurosurgeon is a specialist surgeon who has been trained in surgery on the spine and brain. Tameka gave birth to the couple's second son, Naviyd Ely Raymond, in December.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons warns of the risks of "medical tourism" on its Web site, citing different standards of quality control and training that can be found overseas. Hey, this doesn't happen only overseas. Donda West died right here in the United States after undergoing plastic surgery for a tummy tuck against one doctor's request and at the hands of a quack. I am not going to criticize Tameka Foster, but sometimes if it ain't broke don't fix it. We have become a very superficial and materialistic society. That works only to our detriment. I'll leave my comments at that. I hope she recovers quickly from this setback.
