Erin McGregor gives major update after surgery to remove botched breast implants

Erin McGregor has said she is "doing really well" after her surgery to remove her botched breast implants.

Conor McGregor’s sister, who found fame on Dancing With The Stars, was one of the hundreds of Irish women who became part of the Poly Implant Prostheses (PIP) breast implant scandal. The implants were not approved for medical use as they were made from a cheaper, industrial-grade silicone and were rupturing at a rate that was double the industry average.

In an Instagram update to her fans, she said she was not going to talk about her surgery to remove the botched implants but decided to do it anyway since so many women have been impacted by the PIP implants. Erin said she has been doing "really well" and the "pain meds have been amazing" even though the "last few days have been a bit blurry from the meds".

She said: "I put clingfilm around my chest. There's still all brown sticky paper there. So that's a little bit wet and then you have like a sports bra on." Erin said her fiance Terry has been helping her and even washing her but she "doesn't actually need as much minding as what she thought".

The celeb said she kept putting off the surgery which she was supposed to do years ago until finally she went to her doctor and asked him, "Have you got something tomorrow?". She said she didn't want to have to overthink it "because I've been thinking about it for so long, I don't want to be lying in bed awake thinking about my surgery."

She also added: "I was grand after the anesthetic which I'm normally sick after."

Erin previously said she had been quoted €7,500 to fix her botched boob job and that she was too scared to get them done in case something happened to her while under the knife.
