Minimize implant size by simultaneous lift
Unfortunately, you have not provided any photographs or stated your bra size. If you are size 32 or 34 each 100 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. If you are size 36 or 38 each 200 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. Once you determine what size bra you want then you can calculate the implant size to achieve that goal. I recommend silicone gel placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural. The profile of the implant...

Sizing
The volume you are considering does not seem to be large for your height and weight. Proper sizing can only be performed with an examination

My personal preference for atheletic patients is to place a smooth implant under the fascia. Large size implants may interfere with your athletic lifestyle

5'11" 145 lbs 450 cc implants
At 5'11", a larger implant such as 450 cc may be appropriate based upon chest wall width. If you are a thinner individual it usually makes more sense to go under the muscle so that the implant has more camouflage. A smooth implant is fine for under the muscle augmentation.

Best Breast Implant Size/Profile/Texture for Me?
Thank you for the question.
Generally speaking, I think your choice of plastic surgeon will be more important than the choice of smooth versus textured breast implants. In my practice, I generally use smooth round breast implants, preferably placed in the sub muscular ( dual plane) position if at all possible.

Silicon Implants, Textured or Smooth?
I am not sure how you chose your implant size. I like having patients try on implants. I measure the breast width, and recommend that the implants have a width similar to the breasts, and not wider. Sometimes that limits the size. My caution against using implants that are too big. We try hard to do careful sizing. Patients who are not quite as large as they might have wanted are by-in-large happy with the outcome. Women who are larger than expected are usually very unhappy.

Breast Implant Choices
In my practice the patient chooses the implant size within a range of my recommendation after examination. We have the patient try on the implants with several of her own tops. A careful fitting allows you to choose the right size not just to reach a certain bra cup size, but rather a size that fits your height, shoulders and hip width. I have found that patients changing implants size or regretting their choice is almost eliminated in my practice.

Implant sizing
Of course the best way to evaluate you is in person. As for the volume why don't you do a baggy test at home with the volume you are interested in. Personally, I prefer smooth implants over textured.
