When she shined a flashlight on them, they glowed bright red and the internet lost it
Sivan Tayer just discovered something absolutely wild about her breast implants that most people had no idea was possible. Back in January 2024, the 23-year-old TikTok creator decided to get breast augmentation surgery after years of dealing with a smaller chest that required constant tailoring to fit properly. Two years post-surgery, she’s been chronicling her journey on TikTok, sharing everything from pre-surgery rules to recovery updates to just general life with implants. Then, early this year, she stumbled across a TikTok trend that made her question everything she thought she knew about what she’d put inside her body.
Tayer grabbed her phone’s flashlight, held it up to her left breast, and pressed it directly against her skin. What happened next was absolutely surreal: her entire breast lit up with a bright fluorescent red glow emanating from within. Not from the surface. From inside. She literally filmed her breast glowing like it had some kind of internal light source, and her reaction in the video was pure genuine shock mixed with uncontrollable giggles at the absurdity of what she was witnessing.
“[I] was today years old when I discovered my [breasts] have a night mode,” she wrote over the video. And the internet immediately responded with equal parts disbelief and hilarity. Someone posted a photo of their friend trying the trick while sitting in a Mexican restaurant, literally tucking their head inside their shirt to test it out. Another commenter asked if implants “come in glow in the dark?” One frustrated user commented that they tried it but had “too much tata for light to go through and now [I’m] mad” basically admitting that her natural breast tissue was too dense for the light to penetrate the same way.
The key detail everyone seemed to miss: this only works on implants, not natural breasts
Tayer got the idea from another girl online and thought “no way that’s possible.” She decided to test it herself, and boom fluorescent glowing breast. Other people tried the trend online, but it only worked for people with breast implants. The silicone apparently allows light to pass through in a way that creates this weird red glow effect. It’s not dangerous. It’s not a design flaw. It’s just a quirky property of the material that nobody really talks about until someone on TikTok figures it out and shares it with millions of people.
Tayer’s journey to implants wasn’t some random decision
She’s always had a smaller chest, and even at her heaviest during her fitness journey, she was barely a B cup. As she got leaner, her breasts became “practically nonexistent,” to the point where she was constantly getting tops tailored just to fit her chest properly. For someone dealing with that reality, augmentation made sense. “The best decision I made,” she told PEOPLE about the surgery. Being able to wear clothes without tailoring, feeling confident in her own body, having her proportions match her preferences all of that justified the procedure in her mind.
The nightmode discovery isn’t even the strangest thing she’s noticed
Tayer’s also discovered that when she does push-ups, her breasts separate dramatically to the left and right in a way that “looks freaky in the mirror,” according to her own admission. It’s the kind of detail that you don’t think about until you’re the person experiencing it. The movement, the mechanics, the way implants behave during physical activity it’s all different from natural breasts, and Tayer’s been documenting these discoveries as she navigates post-surgery life.
What started as a TikTok trend about flashlight tricks turned into a broader conversation about how little people actually know about breast implants. Tayer’s willingness to share her experience openly, from surgery to recovery to these quirky discoveries, has created a space where people can ask questions and learn things they wouldn’t otherwise know. And apparently, that education now includes the fact that your implants might literally glow in the dark.
