Is there any insight on infrared sauna use post breast augmentation surgery?

I advise my patients that activities like this are ok after 3 weeks. Always important to check on your surgeon's protocol.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Thanks for your inquiry, if you were my patient I would make you wait at least six weeks and evaluate you in person that your wounds are well healed before proceeding--but discuss this with your surgeon and get his/her recommendation. 

Dear AustinHawaii,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Austin.  I do not recommend any sort of sauna treatment after breast augmentation surgery for at least one month to allow your body to heal. The human body will detox all anesthesia medications on its own, and sauna therapy is not needed and can be harmful. Follow up with your board-certified plastic surgeon to confirm my advice. Good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question.  I typically recommend that patients wait until they are COMPLETELY healed (i.e., at least 2 weeks after surgery) before going into a sauna, or going swimming.Best,
