There is no increased rupture rate of breast implants related to cold temperature.

	Hope this helps.

Cold water will only m ake you feel cold but it will not hard your implants. Enjoy the swim like a polar bear!

Yes - I am unaware of an increased rupture risk from swimming in cold water.  To seriously have an impact on the implants, the water would have to be extremely cold or you would have to be in it for a significantly extended period of time.  I'd be more worried about your general health/frostbite/hypothermia in that case.

Jourdan Gottlieb, MD · Answer

You would have to stay in long enough to get quite hypothermic before the implants would have a temperature change. These implants are stored at room temperature, which is way cooler than the implants would possibly get while you are swimming. 

	Not a worry.

	Best wishes, and thanks for the question.

Enjoy your swim!  Cold water will not hurt your implants.  You didn't say how long ago you had your Breast Augmentation.  Be sure to follow your Plastic Surgeon's advice regarding exercise.
