Flashes ‘GLOW IN THE DARK’ Fake Boobs

HERE’S something I never thought I’d hear – that fake boobs ‘glow in the dark’.

At least, that’s what TikTok users say, many of whom use the app showcase their “superpower” breast implant.

Is it just a harmless “party trick”? Or could something be wrong with your implants? As one surgeon issued a warning about ‘shiny’ breasts.

It all started with content creator Julie Wise, whose clip has garnered nearly 12 million views since posting it in November.

In it, she grabbed a spotlight, placed it under one of her breasts, and turned off her bathroom lights.

“I can’t make this up guys,” he exclaimed when it glowed pink the globe emerged from the darkness.

“I can’t wait to show my family my new super power,” Julie cheekily captioned the video.

The viral clip inspired several others to try the trick.

Stella George thought the idea of ​​glow-in-the-dark breast implants was “bulls***” but decided to try it anyway – and was amazed when hers did too.

“It’s definitely a big implant, I can see the whole thing,” she said inside a post which garnered almost two million views.

“I couldn’t believe it. It’s just me and the implant looking at each other like.

“I think I could even see the brand in it.”

Content creator Mary Ashley She was similarly shocked at the results, saying “you’ve got to be kidding me now” as a light flashed under one of her breasts.

So why exactly can fake tits light up like that when a light shines through them? And is it something to worry about?

We asked plastic surgery experts to find out.

Dr. Roshan Ravindran, CEO and medical director at KLNIKtold Sun Health: “Don’t worry, your breast implants aren’t secretly radioactive – but yes, there’s a reason they sometimes look like they’re glowing.

“Implants are made of a different material than natural breast tissue. Similar, but not the same.

“When the lights are low and someone shines a torch, the light travels through silicone or saline more clearly than through fat and glandular tissue.

“So instead of being absorbed, it passes through the ‘glow’.

“It’s not the implant that lights up. It’s the light that behaves differently.

“Think of it like holding a lens behind your fingers, suddenly they look red and translucent. Same physics, different anatomy.”

Nora Nugenta cosmetic plastic surgeon and president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) told Sun Health: “It sounds like something called transillumination, which can happen with other tissues if they’re thin and stretched or have fluid underneath and then you hold a bright light on them.”

And a plastic surgeon Dr. Leonard Josipovic added: “What people are seeing in these videos are not breast implants that ‘glow’ in the dark, and certainly not the implant itself that emits light.

“When a strong flashlight, phone light, or camera light falls on the breast, the light can pass through the skin and soft tissue, especially if that tissue is thinner.

“Silicone and saline implants do not produce light and have no luminous properties.

“What is visible is simply light traveling through translucent tissue and reflecting differently depending on skin thickness, implant placement and surrounding anatomy.”

Are my implants too big?

UK-based consultant plastic surgeon Patrick Malucci told Sun Health that “thin people” with “relatively large implants” may be more likely to “glow in the dark”.

“It can be especially noticeable if you’re thin, if your implants are over your muscles, where everything is basically more exposed and less covered,” she explained.

Cosmetic surgeon Riccardo Fretti added: “Some breast implants, particularly those that are large and saline, can be seen to ‘glow’ or light up through thin skin in the dark when a flashlight is shined on them, especially if the skin is thin and there is minimal breast tissue coverage and also when the implants are placed over the pectoralis major muscle.

However, US-based plastic surgeon Joubin Gabbay warned that shiny implants can suggest you’ve grown a little.

Sew another clip of a woman who had a lens inserted under her breast, said: “This woman has giant implants.

“These implants have stretched her skin so much that the skin is just paper thin and allows light to pass through it very easily.”

Dr Josipovic added: “This phenomenon is more noticeable in people with less natural breast tissue, thinner skin or implants placed over the muscle, but it can occur regardless of the size or type of implant.”

Should I be worried about my ‘shiny’ implants?

If your implants are shining, does that mean something is wrong?

The short answer is no.

Dr Ravindran said: “It’s not common, it’s not dangerous and it’s certainly not a sign that something has gone wrong.

“No rupture, no leakage, no alien technology.

“Just visuals, anatomy and a bit of social media drama and I love it!”

Meanwhile, Dr Mallucci said it’s more of a “good party trick” than something to worry about.

And Dr. Josipovic emphasized: “It is not a sign that something has gone wrong and does not indicate damage to the implant.

“It’s just basic physics at work, not anything new or unusual.”
