More proportional feminine look through breast implants?

I am a large framed person at 5'6" and 190 pounds. I am healthy and well-proportioned, except I have broad shoulders and my legs and arms are muscular ( I believe so because I used to lift weights and run). I am upset because I feel masculine with my shoulders. I also have breast tissue under my arms (see photo) which becomes sore when I have PMS.

I would like a breast augmentation, if possible. I am trying to figure out if larger breasts would better balance my proportions or make me look even more bigger all over. I would like to avoid looking like an "Amazon" woman. Any suggestions on sizing or placement of implants? Note: I am 40 years old.
