Is 450cc Mentor smooth round high profile too big for me? (Photos)

You would do very well, from your photos, with a submuscular silicone implant. The size should be large enough to help with you fullness and shape but not too large to cause deformities. An experienced plastic surgeon can help, and you should get several opinions.

Breast augmentation with or without a breast lift is a very personal choice and should be made in partnership with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.  You and your surgeon can determine a treatment plan that is best suited to your individual goals, budget, and timeline.  Best wishes on a fabulous result and speedy recovery!

as you do not require a pexy and if you believe you still want one after it can easily be done.  Most importantly is to use your ideal nipple position for placing your implants so its not placed too low.  Always easier to lift nipples then trying to raise an implant.

Thank you for the question and pictures.  Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. Breast lifting does not appear to be necessary.My best advice: more communication.
It is definitely worth spending more time (prior to the date of surgery) with your plastic surgeon to discuss further.  As you know, it will be important for many reasons, that you feel comfortable that you and your plastic surgeon are on the "same page" prior to proceeding.
One question that might be helpful for you to consider: would you be more disappointed if you are slightly too big or slightly too small after the breast augmentation procedure?
Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. 
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "D or DD cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.
I hope this helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with. 

I agree with your PS a lift is not necessary.  The size he recommended appears appropriate. If you are hesitant than I would get a second opinion.  I believe your PS has given you good advice.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry.

You may be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation surgery. It looks like you could potentially benefit from a breast lift in addition to the implants from a long-term perspective.

It is important to have an in-person assessment regarding your concerns as it is difficult to determine virtually.

There are many different factors that go into choosing a breast implant size which will correspond with your body dimensions while concurrently achieving your aesthetic results. Some of these factors are: Implant size (CC's), Implant profile (Low, Moderate, High), Placement of the implant (Subglandular vs. Dual Plane) etc. We utilize smooth round cohesive silicone gel 'gummy bear' implants for the best results.

During a consultation your aesthetic goals are heard and taken into account with the measurements of your breasts and the integrity of your tissue, as well as level of ptosis (sag). From here we collectively can find your 'perfect fit'.

You are able to try out sizers and different implants in our office such that you can get an idea of what size you would be post-operation. We also offer Crisalix 3D plastic surgery virtual simulator during our in-person and virtual consultations to preview potential results. After your consultation, you will receive your very own implant sizers to take home with you (at a small cost) whether or not you decide to go forward with your procedure.

I usually recommend that my patients stop smoking, take vitamin C daily, and avoid aspirin/ibuprofen and vitamin E 3 weeks prior to surgery.

I specialize in the 24-hour Recovery method which minimizes trauma to the breast and decreases pain post-operatively.
