Can steam rooms damage breast implants? Does the heat compromise the shell and would cause to rupture sooner?

Thank you for your question about breast implants.No, a steam room will not damage your implants or cause them to rupture prematurely.I hope this helps.

I appreciate your question.



No, steam rooms won't damage your implants or affect their life span.  Your implants have a silicone shell which protects them.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!

Steam rooms won't damage your implant or affect their longevity. Your implants have a silicone shell, which would melt at temperatures greater than 392 degrees Fahrenheit. A conventional sauna is typically between 150 and 190 degrees. If you were in an environment where your implants would melt, you’d melt, too. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. For more information on this and similar topics, I
recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop On Breasts: A
Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths."

Thank you for your question.  Because of the proximity of your implants to your body's core, fluctuations in temperature and humidity will not affect their integrity or durability as your own tissues will prevent signficant alterations.  Hope this helps.

You will not cause any damage to your implants from steam or any other type of heat source. Your skin will burn before you damage the implants.
