Breast augmentation may be the right choice if your breasts are too small in relation to the rest of your body. You may also suffer from volume loss due to changes in your stage of life. This can happen after pregnancy, due to weight loss or simply due to aging.
Asymmetry, where the breasts are not the same size or shape, can also be a reason for breast augmentation in Haarlem. With the right implant, both the size and shape of the breasts can be adjusted to better fit your body and make you feel more confident.
At Kliniek het Bolwerk in Haarlem, we use breast implants from the renowned Mentor brand. These implants are known worldwide for their high quality and safety.
They are extensively tested and meet the most stringent requirements, such as CE certification and approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This gives you the assurance that you are making a safe and durable choice for your breast augmentation. Mentor implants are designed to give a natural result, with a soft, realistic look.
When choosing breast implants at Kliniek het Bolwerk, you are choosing the security of high-quality products with a long history of reliability. Mentor, the brand we work with, strives to support women in making informed choices around their breast augmentation. They offer not only clear information and facts, but also comprehensive guidance for any questions.
Do you live in Haarlem or the surrounding area? Then you can count on personal support throughout the process, so you can make the right decision with confidence.
The FDA is the world’s leading agency overseeing the safety and quality of medical products. Each approval is preceded by extensive and independent scientific research. In addition, after approval, companies must conduct years of follow-up research to monitor the long-term effects of their products.
The cohesive silicone MemoryGel used by Mentor has both CE certification and FDA approval. Only three brands of silicone breast implants have received this approval from the U.S. FDA.
Although not all breast implants used in the Netherlands are FDA-certified, it is sometimes incorrectly claimed that this approval is only relevant to the U.S. market. However, FDA certification guarantees that a product meets the most stringent international safety requirements, even outside the United States.
At Kliniek het Bolwerk, your safety is paramount. Therefore, we register all breast implants placed or removed at our clinic in a meticulous registration system. This system was developed in cooperation with the Dutch Society for Plastic Surgery (NVPC) and allows us to detect implants quickly and efficiently in case of any problems.
For many years, the NVPC has been committed to an internationally covering registration system to guarantee the safety of breast implants. Through our participation in this breast implant registry, we contribute to a transparent and reliable healthcare system that guarantees the safety of our patients.

The NVPC views breast augmentation with silicone breast implants as a safe and responsible procedure. Silicone implants have been used since the 1960s because of their biocompatibility, meaning that the body tolerates them well without unwanted reactions. Over the past 30 to 40 years, numerous scientific studies have confirmed the safety of silicone breast implants time and time again. For women in Haarlem and surrounding areas who are considering breast augmentation, Kliniek het Bolwerk offers reliable care with safe, approved implants.
At Clinic the Bolwerk, we use Mentor brand breast implants, known worldwide for their excellent quality and reliability. Mentor breast prostheses have received approval from the FDA, the premier international institute that oversees the safety of medical products. This approval was granted on the basis of:
Careful analysis of laboratory results to ensure safety.

David Jairath has 15+ years of experience in aesthetic procedures for breast augmentation.
Each treatment is tailored to your situation and needs through a personal consultation.
We meet the highest standards of sterilization, hygiene and safety.
Our team will carefully guide you through the recovery process and answer all your questions, even after the procedure.
Some medical conditions, such as diabetes or poorly healing wounds, may make breast augmentation not the best option. In addition, it is important to have realistic expectations.
During the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will clearly explain what is and is not feasible and whether the procedure is appropriate for your situation. If there are doubts about safety or results, an alternative treatment may be recommended.
Breast augmentation can have some drawbacks. The scar is usually located under the breast and is kept as small as possible, often about 5 cm long. How this scar heals is difficult to predict and can range from a barely visible line to a red and itchy scar.
After the procedure, sensation in the nipples may be reduced or temporarily disappear altogether. Despite the procedure, it is usually still possible to breastfeed.
It is also important to note that there may be a slight difference between the two breasts after surgery, which was sometimes present before the procedure. This may be slightly more noticeable after breast augmentation.
We cannot guarantee a specific cup size, as bra sizes vary by manufacturer. Cup sizes do not always fall consistently between different brands.
Possible complications include post-bleeding and disruptions in the healing process, which can lead to infections. At Kliniek het Bolwerk, where we welcome many clients from Haarlem, we make every effort to minimize the risk of these complications.
In the long term, problems can arise from capsular contracture, where the body forms a firm capsule around the prosthesis. In some cases, this can harden, causing pain and a change in the shape of the breast. Another surgery may then be necessary to loosen the capsule and replace the prosthesis.
I am Drs. David Jairath, plastic surgeon. After studying medicine and specializing in plastic surgery, I pursued further study in the aesthetic-cosmetic field.
During my career, I have worked in both teaching hospitals and private clinics, gaining experience in both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. In recent years, I have focused specifically on minimally invasive and non-surgical procedures that help improve my patients’ body image and well-being.
With more than 15 years of experience, I now put my broad knowledge and skills into practice at Kliniek het Bolwerk. As a plastic surgeon, I perform each procedure carefully, always keeping in mind the personal situation and wishes of the client. My goal is to achieve an optimal result, combined with the best possible aftercare.
My mission is to help patients improve their well-being by using my medical expertise. Together with the client, I discuss which treatments best meet their needs and expectations. The client is at the center of every procedure, with a focus on their satisfaction and safety.

Breast augmentation is not reimbursed by health insurance companies in most cases, as it is considered a cosmetic procedure. Only in case of a clear medical indication, such as severe asymmetry or a developmental disorder, reimbursement can sometimes be requested. Our plastic surgeon can inform you during the consultation about the possibilities and possible conditions for reimbursement.
Only an initial consultation that does not lead to treatment.
This procedure is performed under general anesthesia, after which you will stay in the clinic overnight.
Despite our care, errors may occur in our fee list. Therefore, you cannot derive any rights from this rate list.
After breast augmentation at Kliniek het Bolwerk, it is important that you stay one night at the clinic. This ensures that we can monitor you properly and that any complications, such as post-bleeding, are noticed in time.

Immediately after surgery, you will receive a compression bra. This specially designed bra supports your breasts and helps promote the healing process. It is essential to wear this bra day and night for six weeks for a good result of your breast augmentation in Haarlem.
After breast augmentation, we recommend avoiding physical exertion, such as heavy lifting and sports, for at least six weeks. After this period, you can gradually resume your daily activities. This recovery process ensures that your breast implants stay in place properly and that you recover faster.
Recovery time varies from person to person, but in general, you can resume your normal activities after six weeks. During the first week, it is important to rest and avoid intense movement. During the recovery process, we schedule check-ups to make sure everything is going well and you are satisfied with the results of your breast augmentation in Haarlem.
