Bij dr. Bakker van Flexclinics voelde het consult direct vertrouwd. Zijn eerlijke en deskundige advies gaf mij het gevoel met een professional te maken te hebben. Hierdoor besloot ik ervoor te gaan. Eerst een grote buikwandcorrectie en aansluitend lipofilling van mijn borsten. Ontzettend blij ben ik met het uiterst mooie resultaat, het voorspoedige herstel en mijn keuze voor deze uitmuntende arts bij deze moderne kliniek.

Motiva 550cc Full RoundMy surgery found place the 28th of April. Dr. X Bakker at Boerhaave Clinic in Amsterdam, The Netherlands was my surgeon. My wish was 'on the big side, full but natural' to follow my journey to see the process :) Updated on 3 May 2021: Made on the day before the surgery just before I was entering the surgery room. I was soo nervous but the staff was super sweet! I really couldn’t believe I was actually going to get my boobs done and my heart was pounding hahahah. Luckily the anaesthesia hit me quick and when I woke up I felt like I took a long nap. I was shivering waking up but then I got a warm blanket. 30min after waking up I was good & felt really good. No pain just discomfort Updated on 9 May 2021: I was only subscribed ibuprofen & paracetamol which I was nervous about. I ended up taking painkillers for 4 days and after that I didn’t need them anymore! When sleeping I felt most pressure but during the day I was completely fine. I am still watching my movements but I will head back to work on Monday. See pictures for the process of the swelling going down.

After long consideration, I am writing this review to inform others, so you can make an honest and informed choice when selecting a plastic surgeon for your own wants and needs. In March 2024, I had a revision surgery with Dr. Xander Bakker in the Netherlands. To my knowledge, he has since moved and continues his work in Spain. I went to him for a consultation because I was unhappy with the results of my first surgeon. That situation is separate and I will not discuss it here. During the consultation, I explained that my goal was to feel confident in a bikini again. Dr. Bakker told me that a specific treatment was inevitable to achieve that result. I trusted his professional judgment as a cosmetic plastic surgeon and agreed to proceed. Throughout the process, I expressed my concerns multiple times. I was repeatedly reassured that the procedure would involve minimal liposuction and limited scarring, and that my shape would look good again. Based on those reassurances, I trusted him. There is much I could say, but to keep this readable — and because there are details I cannot share publicly — I will say that the word “unhappy” does not come close to describing how I feel about the outcome. I am completely devastated by the result. Dr. Bakker is a very confident surgeon and clearly stands behind his work and his vision. You can judge that for yourself in the photos. I have included: • Photos from after my first surgery to show the starting point when I placed my trust in him. • Photos from before any surgery to show my natural body shape. These are after I had lost 20kg on my own and also lost significant muscle mass. This is what made me insecure in the first place. At the time, I did not realize that this “deflated” appearance was due to fat and muscle loss. I did share my full weight loss history with every surgeon I consulted. I was proud of my shape — only insecure about looking deflated. Since this surgery, I have undergone another revision abroad. I am only partially satisfied, since much of the damage is unfortunately permanent. The lower butt–ham tie in area and inner thigh region are permanently compromised. The skin quality in this area is damaged, and the fat loss here is irreversible after the latest attempt to reverse the situation. This affects the separation between my legs and buttock and creates a downward pulling effect. My daily life has changed completely. I can no longer wear jeans and only wear oversized sweatpants to hide my shape as much as possible — especially the lower butt/ham tie in area. I cannot go swimming, wear a bikini, or share my body with anyone. I rarely look at myself in the mirror. I also want to clarify why it took me so long to post this. It is not because I was never threatened — I was, and I have that in writing. The real reason I waited is because my mental health and my life collapsed after this experience. It took everything in me to hold on long enough to be able to share this. My ability to work has been affected. I work as little as possible and from home as much as I can. My world has become very small. I am deeply struggling, but I am still here for one reason only: my daughter. Before this, we did everything together — concerts, swimming, vacations, shopping, enjoying life. Now she does much of that without me. It breaks my heart that I cannot be the mother I used to be for her. I am surviving day by day at home, holding on as best as I can. It took almost two years to reach a point where I can talk about this openly and show my body. Even writing this now is extremely emotional. I have lost my savings, my confidence, and my ability to enjoy the life I once had. Even if there were a perfect solution, I would not be able to afford it. I have more photos and angles, but what I am sharing here is enough to show what has happened. My goal in sharing this is to help others make the most informed choice possible before deciding on surgery. What I describe here is only part of the full experience. What was done during this surgery: • Liposuction of the upper butt (lats). • Liposuction of the inner thighs. I was told I was too skinny in other areas, which meant my legs were the only place where enough fat could be harvested for the revision. I was assured that only a limited amount of fat would be taken and that this would not negatively affect my shape. • Lipotransfer to the hip dips. • A Miami thong lift with incisions extending up into the butt crease due to loose skin in the banana roll area after my first surgery. I was told these incisions were inevitable and that this would restore a normal looking lower butt. Because I trusted this assessment and believed the result would look good again, I agreed, with the idea of possibly lasering scars later. That never happened because I had to pay for another revision surgery — and at this point, the scars are not the main issue. The overall result is what it is. Lastly, regarding my very first surgery: procedures were performed that I did not consent to. That is what led me into this desperate situation of trying to get my original body back.

I had a nose job and it was a disaster. Finding a good doctor to revise it at the moment and willing to travel the world for it. Not fun when things don't go as planned or should I say when doctors do not keep their agreements...

Xander Bakker gave me a really bad nose job where my tip was positioned way too high. Looked like a extreme pig. He blames it on the nasal packing that was in my nose which is not true. He just didn't want to admit to this disaster of what he caused. Unbelievable.

I'm a 29 year old mom, who had an augmentation September 2016, and much to my disappointment did not like the result. The implants chosen for me was Mentor HP 375cc textured. What bothered me about my implants was the fact that they look very small for my broad frame, and don't look proportionate to the rest of my body. I'm 5'10'' and weight 172lbs, and I have always been a pear shaped woman. Never thought about going through a breast augmentation, until I finished breastfeeding my second child, and I was left completely deflated. I'm looking forward towards having a more proportionate figure, and having breast that fill up a bra properly. Updated on 29 Mar 2017: I had my surgery 5 weeks ago. Since this is a revision, this time around my pain level was a lot easier than the first, even though the implants were bigger. I did feel a lot of discomfort on my sternum, but that was to be expected since the doctor told me he had to detach quite a bit of the muscle to accommodate my implants. My previous BA was done by a different PS who didn't bother to measure me at all, and was Extremely conservative with the size. Now, I'm 5'10 and weight quite a bit (172lbs) and obviously the 375cc the previous doctor chose for me were very small. I was naive, and decided to trust the ps instead of doing more research, and now have to pay the price. Because I'm a lawyer a heart, I managed to create a concise argument, and got a full refund from previous plastic surgeon. The current plastic surgeon was much more attentive, gave me his honest opinion, listened to my reasonings, and answered my million and one questions. I chose the the Natrelle Inspira 605g Soft Touch Textured HP implants, because they were 14.5cm width which is what the doctor thought would be a good diameter for my BWD. It took me 3 months to choose the size, but I believe I made the right choice. From the beginning my doctor advised me to either get an anatomical shaped implant or get a lift with the round one. Because I was afraid of the anatomical ones, I opted for the round one and to get a lift later on after they settle in the pocket. I kinda regret not getting the anatomical shaped implants now, because I believe it would've yield the best results for me. Nevertheless, that shipped has sailed, and I have to move forward with my decision, and plan a lift a year from now. I chose the most cohesive Natrelle offers in round implants (soft touch) because they maintain their shapes for longer, and it was important for me to have an implant that could last for 10 + years. Updated on 29 Mar 2017: So annoyed at this site sometimes, I don't know how to post a photo update without having to type this nonsense. I forgot to include the Week 5 pic. By the way for anyone wondering I used to have a Mentor implants, and so far, even though the Natrelle is more cohesive, I find it softer at this stage than my previous implants. Updated on 11 Apr 2017: So here is a picture of me wearing my recovery bras last week, even though I'm on week 7, I'm still wearing mostly sports bras and my recovery bra for sleeping. They are becoming squishier by the day, and it's easy to push them together to create cleavage. I also have a decent amount of projection. Updated on 29 May 2017: Just posting some pictures to show how they've changed a bit. Reminding whoever sees this that I'll be getting a lift later on.
