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 in regards to my mental health since this surgery, I want to write this review to inform you — so that you can make an honest choice when selecting a plastic surgeon for your specific wants and needs. I am ready to share my body and my story, at least the big picture. Because it’s a heavy one and it would take pages and pages.In March 2024, I had a revision surgery with Dr. Xander Bakker in the Netherlands. At my last attempt to get some acknowledgement, his assistant Louisa told me that he was moving to Spain and wouldn’t be in the Netherlands that often so time was “limited” for my chances etc. She told me  he was slowly phasing out his practice in the Netherlands. You can google him for yourself, I won’t be getting into this part, I learned more later on. I did not get acknowledgement for what happened to me in any way shape or form just to make that clear.I went to him for a consultation because I was unhappy with the results from my first surgeon (that story is separate and I won’t discuss it here). During my consultation, I told Dr. Bakker that I wanted to feel confident in a bikini again. He told me that a certain treatment was “inevitable” to achieve what I wanted. I trusted his professional judgment as a cosmetic certified plastic surgeon and agreed to go forward. After all, I am not a medical professional myself.I expressed my concerns various times, but was reassured that the procedure would involve “minimal liposuction and scarring”, and that my shape would be good and flowy again so I can be confident in my body (to wear a bikini as example). I believed him.I have many things I could say, but to keep this readable — and because there are details I can’t discuss publicly — I’ll simply say that being “unhappy” is an understatement. I am completely devastated by the outcome, this has change my life, and any hope for a future forever.He is a very confident surgeon and very proud of his work and vision. I say that because this is the result he stands behind and is proud of. You can see the results for yourself in the photos. I’ve also included a “before” (after my first surgery) to show where things started when I put my trust in him. And a before any surgery photo, to show my natural body shape (at least at the state of losing 20kg with cardio and calorie counting). Note that I only have pictures before any surgeries after I lost 20kg on my own and have lost a lot of muscle mass. I did not take phots when I was fat, you can understand why. This is what made me insecure in the first place. I did not realize at the time this was the reason I was “deflated”, losing muscle mass, not excess skin as Dr. Xander Bakker told me. And yes I told my weight loss journey to every surgeon I have spoken to during consultations, also to Dr. Xander Bakker. I was very happy  with my natural shape, only very insecure about being deflated.Since then, I’ve had another revision abroad. I am only partially pleased, much of the damage is permanent since this surgery. So options are limited because of already existing damage from previous (this) surgery. The lower part of my butt/ham-tie in, my skin there is compromised forever (all skin though, also legs) and the fat I am missing in my ham-tie/inner thighs is forever lost, there remains a gap there. Which adds to the leg/butt not having separation and pulling down. The skin is compromised as to not be able to adhere to the underlying tissue and support shape. My life has changed completely — I can no longer wear jeans at all. But the pictures make this pretty obvious already, only oversized sweatpants to cover my shape as much as possible. Especially the lower butt ham-tie part which makes a butt to begin with, even little butts, this separation is crucial. I cannot go swimming, wear a bikini, or share my body with anyone. I barely look at myself in the mirror. Aside from the results. I have constant heavy legs since this surgery, I sleep with my legs up to be able to get some rest during those nights. It’s been 2 years already, and this is still a problem. And the fibrosis, the hard knots, that’s another issue on top of the loss of my quality and enjoyment of life altogether.To be clear, the reason I waited so long to post this, is not because I was threatened — I actually was, and I have that in writing. The reason I still waited is because my mental health and my life fell apart after this experience. It has taken everything in me to hold on and finally share this. I have trouble keeping my job. I started working less to avoid breaking down completely. I work from home as much as possible. I am completely isolated apart from my work and daughter. I am waiting to leave this world to be honest, there’s nothing here. But the thought of leaving my daughter in this cruel cold world to fend for herself i cannot bear. Where I used to go out with my daughter, concerts, swimming, vacation, shopping and enjoying life. She has to do without me now. It hurts that I cannot be the mother she wants, needs and used to have. I am surviving as is at home by myself.  I am holding on by a thread as long as i can and that’s why I waited to post this. I struggled to get to this point where i can talk about it openly after almost 2 years, at least online, so I felt it was time to share the truth and show my body. I am still not able to talk about it physically without bursting out in tears and retreating. Even now I am writing this with tears in my eyes and a rock in my throat.I’ve lost my savings which all had to go to revisions due to the first one and the second one which left me worse off then I came in, my confidence, and the ability to enjoy the life I once had. I have lost everything. And even if there was a solution, I wouldn’t have the funds to fix this even if I wanted to because I was robbed of everything I owned including my body. I have plenty more photos and angles if anyone was to be interested, but this will show you everything you need to know. And I hope that by sharing this, others can make the most informed choice possible before deciding on their own procedures and their chosen surgeons. This all is just scratching the surface of what happened and my experience.I also want to state one thing about the first surgery, the first surgeon did things I did not consent to, that’s also documented. I woke up from anaesthesia in a full blown meltdown because of the deformity. Hearing he did things that he stated as a “favour”, his words. And no, as they all love to say “it’s the swelling” swelling does not show a deformity this severe. And swelling doesn’t do practices on body parts you did not consent to. Hence why I was in this desperate position to get my old body back as good as was possible. This was not what I was “sold”, nobody in their right mind would choose this.

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.
