Will my Implants Be Damaged Due to Being a Firefighter? (I Have Silicone Implants)

Question

Going into a fire with turnouts & gear is hot/heavy...not to mention the obvious fire burning in the structure,my question is...will my implants breakdown?! Rupture?! Leak due to the heat & repeated exposure to my occupational hazard?!

Thank you for the question.

	No,  you will not need to worry about your breast implants being damaged due to your occupation.  Of course, you will need to take off more time after the procedure ( compared to patients who will return to a test job after the procedure).  Your plastic surgeon will be in the best position to guide you with specific guidelines for return to work/activities.

	 Best wishes.

No you have nothing to worry the implants are made for the active woman, you have nothing to fear. Good luck
