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

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.  No reason for concern about a steam room damaging your saline implants.  It is not a problem.  The heat will not affect them at all.  All the best. 

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.

Thank you for your question. Steam rooms will have no effect on your implants. Your body maintains a safe core temperature despite the temperature of your surroundings. So relax, enjoy the steam room, and do not worry about the heat effecting your implants. “This answer has been solicited without seeing the patient

Steam rooms, saunas, jacuzzi's, hot baths will not affect your implants wheather they are saline or silicone gel. Your core body temperature (where the implants are)  will remain within a few degrees of normal regardless of the outside temperature. Silicone by the way can withstands large degrees of heat without breakdown. #breastaugmentation#breastimplants

You should not experience any issues with your breast implants by taking a steam. They are well protected. So, enjoy. Best, Dr. Nazarian

It would be extremely unlikely for a hot environment such as a steam room or a sauna to damage an implant. The implants are protected by the overlying skin and breast tissue. Not to mention the materials that an implant is made up of are stable at these temperatures. The body processes a wonderful system for regulating heat deeper in the body. Should not be a problem.
