Can You Get in a Sauna After Getting Saline Breast Implants ? and How Long After ?

Question

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

Steam rooms, saunas, jacuzzi's, hot baths will not affect your implants wheather they are saline or silicone gel. Your core body temperature (where the implants are)  will remain within a few degrees of normal regardless of the outside temperature. Silicone by the way can withstands large degrees of heat without degradation or  breakdown. #breastaugmentation#breastimplants

Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD, FACS · Answer

You may want to wait several weeks after your augmentation before getting into the sauna.  This way, your incisions should be well healed by then and the heat should have little impact on your scarring.

David Bogue, MD · Answer

Once you are fully healed, I see no reason why you could not go in a sauna. This would typically be around 4 weeks on average.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

I would avoid saunas until you are completely healed. This may take about 3-4 weeks.  I would not go in too soon.

Albert Dabbah, MD · Answer

Once you are fully healed, there should be no reason you cannot get into a sauna or continue with any of the activities you are used to.  I allow my patients to get in a sauna, pool, bath, ocean when I am comfortable the incision is fully healed.  Your surgeon will let you know when you are able to do these things but if you heal perfectly it could be as soon as a few weeks after surgery.
