My butt is naturally big and round, but it is very firm and has been for as long as I can remember. Any suggestions? (photo)

A firm buttock is a good thing!  We can do a fat transfer to make it larger and a bit more "fatty" but an implant will only make it more firm. Be sure to choose a Board Certified plastic surgeon who specializes in buttock augmentation.

It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal butt image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your buttock will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. Liposuction of your lower back and fat transfer is also helpful as an adjunct to implants. Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon.

Your buttocks proper has excellent size and shape; in order to make your buttocks be more prominent, what you should consider is shaping the areas around your buttocks; for example, imagine the shape of your buttocks if you were to narrow your lateral thighs and medial thighs! Please see examples below.
