I've now got a personal trainer who's given me a personalised programme she knows my thighs and butt are main problem areas but in the programme she's put squat with a 10kg weight I don't mind doing it and boy do I feel the pain but I've read around a lot that it makes the butt bigger which I could really do without tbh.

    I have the same problem. I have a butt the size of a Mack truck. Squats helped to tone it up and got rid of the fat so the butt got smaller. It didn't disappear and never will but it looks a lot better than it did!

    they will if you continue with them for months upon months and eat a calorie surplus, otherwise squat away m'lady, they'll help shape your butt and firm it up

    Squats will help make it Perrier, at least they did for me. And hip thrusts. It will get bigger if you get progressively heavier in your weights and eat in a surplus. But at a deficit, it's likely to be the opposite as you'll be losing fat.

    Rounder, firmer and nicer, definitely not bigger unless you're eating in a surplus.

    Squats will build and tighten your behind muscles, abs to some extend depending on how much you engage them while squatting and of course legs.

    Will they make your *kitten* bigger? Calorie Surplus with will make your *kitten* bigger.

    Genetics will also play some role in it.

    I would trust your trainer. Your *kitten* muscles will get bigger, but if you're actually putting in the work you will lose the *kitten* fat.

    If you're eating in a deficit or at maintenance, no they won't make it bigger, just higher, rounder and firmer.

    Eating at a surplus, working squats and deads hard? Yeah, it'll get bigger. Just helps make your waist look smalelr

    Is it covered with fat now?
    Will removing the fat make it smaller?
    You will likely add some muscle on if you are currently pretty much inactive, but that is most likely going to be way way less than all the fat that comes off. The little bit of muscle you will add will make it look round & firm, and less like a pancake.

    Bigger?

    It will make it tighter, higher, toned. It will appear smaller becasue it will be in better shape. You WANT that.

    No, Squats are the best thing you can do to make it look better.

    I did not read what you wrote; just the title.
    Squats will provide definition of hamstring muscles and glute muscles (as you control the descent down).
    Depending on genetics- your butt may get bigger.
    Depending on how you eat- your butt may get bigger or smaller.
    Either way; aim for firmer (build glute muscles= less saggy fat).

    maybe that was what you were looking for? or not.. Either way, just squat.

    Look at some pics of Cory Everson and Linda Murray. Those ladies did LOTS of heavy squats.
    You don't need to look like them, or even try to, I'm only using them as examples of women who definitely did lots of squats to show you that you won't automatically get a bigger bum from them.
