When is it safe to go in a sauna/jacuzzi/steam room after facelift and why is it NOT wise to go in a sauna or steam room?

I seem to recall seeing somewhere that you should avoid a sauna/steam room and jacuzzi after surgery but now can't locate it. I see info here and there for other types of surgery (nose or breast or lipo). Why are you to avoid it anyway. What harm can it cause after facelift surgery? Thanks for your info. Greatly appreciated.
