Usher 's wife,
Tameka Foster , was released from a Sao Paulo hospital after recovering from a heart attack suffered shortly before undergoing plastic surgery, the Associated Press reports.
A spokeswoman for the Sirio-Libanes Hospital said Wednesday that Foster, 37, left the facility Monday night but declined to provide any details on Foster's treatment.

She was placed in an induced coma before being taken to the intensive care unit, said Dastry.
She then was transferred to the better-equipped Sirio-Libanes Hospital for recovery.
Usher , 30, cancelled his performance at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy Gala last Saturday to rush to Brazil to be with his wife. His rep told Usmagazine.com Monday that she was in "stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery."
