The EASIEST way I see it is leave the breast hollow where the implant is supposed to fit, kind of like the air holes left by the manufacturer and insert and seal the implant that way, so as to ensure it is not cosmetically compromised. This is assumin however that the doll's, er, flesh is made in 2 pieces before being joined with the skeleton and whatever else inside parts would be present. Since I don't know the manufacturing process, so I can only make guesses.
also, I'd rather retain the natural look from the breasts rather than simply making them bigger. I wouldn't mind paying an extra $500 or so for perfect doll breasts...
Agree that more custom breast shape options would be very attractive.
(If you need extra material, The spare inserts make excellent material for repairs and to experiment with.)
Good idea fairy bit me on the butt and I tried melting TPE and laminating tacky elastic sports wrap tape with TPE, kind of like the way you laminate fiber glass cloth with resin, similar process.
It turned out better than I expected and encouraging.
This could be a way to re-enforce breast shapes from the inside, allowing for more weight and perkiness and possibly softer more jelly TPE to fill the hollow area.
Some other topics have mentioned that the most realistic feeling soft breasts need a more durable thin outer skin layer with something like 800% elongation but relatively tough with a more jelly interior.
For silicone work, common method is a platinum silicone product called Dragon skin that is very tough and stretchy, but is used as a thin outer layer to encapsulate a softer jelly interior.
A thick piece of Dragon skin is not soft, but when you use a thin layer over more jelly material, the combination is amazing.
