I got liposuction a month ago. Can I go into the sauna?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I tell my patients to wait 4 weeks before submersion into water or saunas.  It may cause you to swell more so I suggest compression treatment afterwards and massage. Best, Dr. Emer.

James Romano, MD · Answer

Yes. As long as your incisions have healed, there
should be no risk of problems, discomfort, or infection from either a wet or
dry sauna. If you are not sure have your doctor evaluate your incisions. I
would not at this point go swimming.

Mark P. Solomon, MD · Answer

All of us have our routine that we use for patient safety.  This is a good question to ask of your surgeon who probably has a routine of his/her own as well.

Craig Harrison, MD · Answer

If you were healthy enough to use the sauna preop then I would imagine you could resume your pre op habits.  Just to be on the safe side, best check with your surgeon to maintain his post op protocol. Best wishes

William C. Rigano, MD (retired) · Answer

At one month after liposuction, a sauna or hot tub should be enjoyable. Assuming the small cuts healed well in the first 1-2 weeks. Your  skin numbness should be waking up, but make sure nothing is hot to touch.
