Is It OK to Do Native American Sweat Lodges or Sauna After Getting Silicone Breast Implants?

Question

Marwan R. Khalifeh, MD · Answer

Once your surgeon releases you, you should be fine. Your implant will be able to withstand the temperature/pressure extremes that your body/flesh normally does.

Matthew H. Steele, MD · Answer

Yes.  By four to six weeks after surgery, your incisions should be healed well enough to sit in a hot sauna.  A spa or pool would be ok as well.  Check with your plastic surgeon if you have any question about the status of your healing.

Gregory Sexton, MD · Answer

Yes. Once you have healed it is safe to be in a sauna, sweat lodge,etc. I would wait 6 weeks after surgery.

Paul Gill, MD · Answer

After 6 weeks, it is fine to enter a sauna as long as the incision is healing without issues and your plastic surgeon gives clearance.   Best wishes,

Adam P. Angeles, MD · Answer

If your surgeon feels that you  have healed sufficiently then go enjoy the Lodge or pool etc.  Remember, the tensile strength of your incisions are only 50% at 6 weeks and you only get one chance to heal well the first time.  Good luck.
