Mexican singer needs more dental surgery after bad fall

Mexican singer Gloria Trevi will have to undergo more dental surgery after suffering "facial trauma" when she took a bad fall last month while disembarking from an airplane, her publicist announced.

The artist "will undergo an operation and endodontic treatment and will have to comply with the doctor's instructions to prevent complications", according to a press release.

The publicist added that because of the operation, Trevi's second since the accident, she had been forced to cancel her concerts scheduled for Aug 19 and 20 in Chihuahua and Ciudad Juarez, and she had had to postpone the filming of a music video.

On July 14, Trevi - well known for hits such as "Pelo Suelto" and "Zapatos Viejos" - fell when descending from an airplane at the Toluca airport, about 60 km from Mexico City.

In the fall, the pop diva injured her lower lip and cracked some teeth and had to undergo emergency surgery.

The 43-year-old Trevi will resume her normal activities starting Aug 23 and it is expected that at the beginning of September she will visit Las Vegas on her singing tour to promote her latest album, "Gloria".

Mexican singer operated for face injury

Mexican singer Gloria Trevi had an emergency operation after suffering a "facial traumatism" when she fell getting off an airplane in Toluca, Mexico, her record label said Friday.Universal Music said that she slipped on the stairs as she was getting off the plane and fell face down from a height of 2 meters. She was rushed to the Angeles Interlomas Hospital in Mexico City.

Trevi there underwent surgery and is now in stable condition, the company said.

Though her fans expressed concern on social networks about the 43-year-old star, she joked about the incident on her Twitter account.

"When the doctor saw me he said 'WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!!!' And I said "You oughtta see what the concrete looks like, I knocked a piece out of it ha ha," she said, and then wrote: "It's not how many times you fall, it's how many times you get up ha ha."

Both the artist and doctors said she must have complete rest for 10 days, which means canceling her appearance at the July 21 Premios Juventud 2011 awards gala in Miami.
