I've always thought a good way to do BE or belly expansion would be to film an actress with balloons under her shirt, then have her look surprised and clutch at the balloons so she pops them (maybe she could have a pin concealed in her hand)... then you run that bit of footage backwards, and it looks like she's sprouting these big boobs and/or belly out of nowhere. It would have to be a very quick shot, just enough to sell the illusion, and then in the next shot she could have some more realistic-looking pads under her clothes. It seems like such a simple effect that I'd expect to see it a lot, but I don't think I've ever seen anybody use it. Usually they conceal pumps under the actress' clothes, or do something like that.
