Why do breasts become shinier, for lack of a better word, after breast augmentation surgery?

Question

I don’t know if this is a widely-known fact, but its fairly easy to tell when a person has had breast augmentation surgery because the breasts have a brighter, shinier appearance that interacts with light differently than the rest of the skin. I know for a fact that I’m not just fixating on big breasts because I looked it up and confirmed that, yes, this does happen.

But nothing about why. So why?

Could have to do with the skin being pulled tightly againts a larger breast than how it was normally. Just a guess tho…
