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

January 13, 2016
Asked By:liliruss in Houston, Texas

I have saline implants wand was curious if the heat will cause the shell the break down sooner than if I did not go in the steam room. I don't want to damage them and cause them to tear/deflate before my wedding but enjoy the steam room. Please advise how heat could affect them.
