Year Old Silicone Implants and Hot Tub Temperature Limit? (photo)

I am not worried about infection at this point. I wonder if the heat from a hot tub can 1) cause leaching (not leaking) of contents in implants, 2) will make implants less strong over time and shorten time for replacement of silicone implants? I saw lots of questions about waiting to swim until healed/until sensation came back, just not anything about 104+F hot tubs/silicone implants after healing and what high temps can do to these materials inside of us. Thank you, I really appreciate you all.
