Answer: Breast Augmentation Thanks for your question. The reason some surgeons as that their patients wait 6-8 weeks before going into any body of water is because bodies of water (like pools, hot tubs, oceans) have a plethora of bacteria that can increase the chance of infection if the wounds are not completely healed (to avoid a delay in the healing process caused by possible infection). It is best to give your surgeon a call to address your concerns. All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
