The post featured a series of photos and videos showing the singer in her hospital bed, as well as moments with her son and boyfriend.
In one clip, she explained to 2-year-old Sky that the surgery involved blood being drained from her breasts.
'Yeah, so the water and the blood comes out of Mummy's booby and comes out of the tube and goes into the bottle,' she told him.
The UK and European leg of Jessie J's 'No Secrets Tour' is still scheduled to kick off in Amsterdam in early October, according to her website.
