The professional dancer said the surgery wasn't to treat a new cancer diagnosis, but came following an appointment with her medical team.
She added: "Of course I'm going to miss not being there so much, but I will be watching from home and look forward to cheering everyone on. Thank you always for all the support. Welsh love, Amy."
After her diagnosis, the dancer underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy, forcing her to miss out on Strictly Come Dancing that year.
Dowden was part of this year's Strictly line-up, and was paired with former The Apprentice star Thomas Skinner, though the pair were voted out first by the public.
"We've laughed so much. We've worked so hard and a glitterball would have been amazing but what I've learnt in the last few years is happiness, health and being alive is more important than anything.
"I lost all confidence as a dancer - but walking into the room with you with a massive smile and a laugh, you brought me back and, honestly, thank you."
