Michelle Heaton poses in her compression underwear after breast reconstruction surgery

Michelle Heaton posed in her ‘sexy’ compression underwear on Tuesday after having breast reconstruction surgery seven weeks ago.

The singer, 42, took to Instagram to share a selfie in her special post-surgery garments and said she thinks her new boobs are ‘looking epic’. 

She also quipped that her husband Hugh Hanley was ‘extremely happy’ with her breasts, as she prepared to head for a check up with her surgeon.

Michelle had her reconstructive surgery in February 10 years on from having a double mastectomy in 2012 after her implants started leaking. 

She looked radiant in the selfie as she beamed at the camera and showed off a pretty makeup look.   

She wrote in the caption: ‘Good morning folks… Today this is me… in my extremely sexy underwear..

‘As you may or may not know 6 weeks ago I underwent reconstruction with fat transference to my breasts, to re-do my reconstruction from a double mastectomy I had 10 years ago due to my BRCA2 gene.

‘Today I am wearing compression underwear, as I’m told to do. It helps to stop fluid build-up.

‘Right now I’m off to Harley street to see my team at @sculpt_mybody to get my check up to see how it worked.

‘Of course I’ve looked… few weeks ago I had my final dressings removed and even in 3 weeks they are settled and if I may say looking epic… ❤️

‘The team at @sculpt_mybody have taken the worry & stress from me and as a by product… @hughhanley is extremely happy too! x’

The TV personality is now back to her usual routine after undergoing breast reconstruction surgery last month, following a double mastectomy in 2012.

Michelle recently opened up about cruel online comments which prompted her to have the surgery in February.  

She underwent a double mastectomy in 2012 after learning she had an 80% chance of developing breast cancer – and proceeded to have her chest rebuilt. 

And while the TV personality refrains from reading nasty comments, she revealed that a certain remark about her breasts after posting a bikini snap ‘made her pay attention’ and pushed her to see a doctor.  

Check up: She also took to her Instagram Story to share that she was heading back to see her surgeon for a post-op review 

Speaking to new! magazine, the pop singer pinpointed a specific comment which stood out: ‘It said something like, “Look at her. If I were her I’d be more worried about her breast looking like it’s exploded.” 

‘It’s a difficult one as I always like to say I don’t read nasty comments. But for me, that wasn’t nasty, it was a saviour.’ 

The mother-of-two went on to say she is ‘grateful’ to those who commented as it pushed her to act faster.

‘It’s never nice to read comments about your body but in this case I’m grateful people who commented were more vigilant than me.  

‘I might not have done it so quickly and it needed doing. I could be thinking it was fine and then it started leaking into my body, and I’d be facing a medical emergency,’ she reflected.

Last month, doctors confirmed they suspected that her implants were leaking and since undergoing reconstruction surgery, which took two-and-a-half-hours, Michelle revealed that she had ‘no intention’ of going bigger and now has ‘smaller’ implants.
