Revision Surgery with Dr. Xander Bakker (March 2024, The Netherlands)
Beautiful552940January 1, 2026
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.
