I went into a private hottub(salt water) 3 weeks post my breast augmentation surgery 3 days ago. If i were to have caught an infection because of it, wheb would that develop? If I am ok by now is the risk gone? I am freaking out because my doctor said I shouldn't have gone in before 6 weeks

Answer: Hot tub If your incisions are completely closed with no open areas or scabs you should be fine. Some signs and symptoms of infection include increased redness and tenderness of the breast, increased swelling, and fever. If you have any concerns check with your surgeon.

Answer: Probably OK The most important factor is that your skin is well healed before getting in a hot tub. No scabs, no open spots, well sealed. If you are well healed, you are probably fine, but there have been some funky, weird infections from hot tubs, like Mycobacterium, Pseudomonas, Aeromonas. Nothing that you would want, so be conservative.
