The best way I think would be to make a molded chest out of a very soft silicon rubber, most likely Ecoflex 50 from SmoothOn. Then use an air bladder or a liquid filled bladder to inflate behind it. There would have to be a solid backing though to keep the outward pressure pushing away from the chest. This is if you want to see skin during the inflation. If its clothed then a bladder rig with some pushup bras would be the way to go. I could elaborate more if you want.
Animatronic creatures? Very cool.

Silicone rubber, interesting! I want to show the breasts nude expanding (will also have to build a nipple). I will look into this first thing tomorrow morning.

Thanks guys!
