It appears the breast of the 102cm is gel-filled and there is a special gel which will need to be inserted, not air. The cost for shipping the material is reasonable and he is going to check with his people tomorrow to get a more detailed description of the process that I will need to follow. So far, so good, and my thanks to everyone who offered advice, including Mike.

I did receive the video and supplies from Mike and I have had success with her right breast, which was only showing a slight depression in the upper chest area (#3), and a small correction was made in the left breast, around the crown, or nipple, area (#2), though the area around the upper left chest area (#1) still needs another shot. I am finding it very difficult to get the fluid out through the needle of the syringe, which I believe may be due to not getting the needle into the 'cavity' of the deflation. The syringe is 20ml, which was sufficient for the purpose, though the 21G needle may have been too small. The box said there would be 25G and 21G needles inside, but there were only 100 of the 21G needles. I will ask Mike if his techs feel the 21G is too small, before I finish the job. I still have enough material to go at it again and I want to get it right.

I am attaching photos of the doll's chest area, with the areas marked where there was deflation, as well as a photo of the 'gear' needed, and the Sanhui video Mike sent. I used a mixture of 50/50 for the A/B compounds Sanhui provided for the repair. There was some leaking directly after the injections, though mildly so, and they dissipated within minutes, before stopping completely. There appears to a faint residue on the breasts, from the leaks, which I continually wiped away, but I may have to do a more complete cleaning of her chest area. It should be noted that the right breast deflation was not as noticeable and was corrected with one injection. The crown area of the left breast was inflated some, but may need a tiny bit more. All that is left is to try to inflate the upper left chest area (#1), which still needs additional attention. Unfortunately, there is no way for the camera to properly show the difference of 'after' the injections were administered.

I will send a note to Mike and ask him to stop by and have a look at my notes to see if there is any advice he could add, and any corrections he may wish to share in the event I may have made a misstep along the way.

Footnote: I received 4 bottles of silicone gel material, A x 2 and B x 2, and what you see in the photo is what I have left.
