Tameka Foster Raymond could have potentially avoided complications with her plastic surgery if she waited a couple of months to go under the knife. President of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery José Tariki tells the New York Daily News that a patient should only undergo liposuction six to eight months after giving birth.

“After a pregnancy,the abdomen muscle is violently stretched,becomes flacid and swells,” he says. “The patient needs six to eight months to return to normal and only then can undergo surgery.”

Brazil’s most popular news-variety program “The Fantastics” reported Sunday that Raymond had told her Brazilian surgeon Silvio Sterman that her youngest son was born four months ago.

According to the show, Raymond is still recovering from her surgery and is taking antibiotics to fight a lung infection, which is common in these cases.

Tameka’s complications could be related to the fact that she gave birth to her second son Naviyd Ely only two months ago — NOT four months ago as she reportedly told her surgeon.

There is no such thing as a little white lie when it comes to your health people. I don’t know why your cousins insist on doing shit like this.
