We will take plenty of time for this consultation and answer all your questions. Photos are also kept confidential. Everything at this point is about you being well informed and feeling at ease. That way you can make an informed choice.
If you are satisfied with the consultation, we begin preparation. Our specialist discusses the treatment technique used and plans the procedure. In addition, you will receive a prompt aftercare plan from us so you can get back to 100% enjoyment as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, we arrange the final formalities. Once all the details are settled, the last few weeks go by quickly. And then the time has come: we will help you get the best result!
Together we will find a date for the procedure. We recommend a easy period for optimal recovery. Should anything unexpected come up, please let us know so we can prepare everything properly. Throughout the entire process, your well-being is our primary concern.
Important issues prior to surgery are:
By preparing properly, your post-surgery recovery is expected to go smoothly. We recommend downloading our brochure.
With surgery in sight, you would do well to check the following points:
We are counting down to the big day. Make sure you don’t have anything to take care of so you can totally relax. We expect you tomorrow for a smooth run!
Today is the day, we are ready! Shower in the morning and come to the clinic 15 minutes beforehand. The procedure takes about an hour. Afterwards, you will stay for a while before going home.
Have someone ready to pick you up. Take it easy for the first few days and cool your eyelids regularly. Our specialist will be happy to explain how to continue your recovery. Good luck today!
Your eyelids will swell slightly and are bruised for the first few days. This is normal and decreases gradually. Leave the wound strips in place; they hold the sutures in place.
Take it easy for the first 3 days. After that, light tasks such as working at home at the computer can be resumed. Call us immediately if you have any questions or concerns.
Come back on the appointed date for removal of the sutures. Your eyes may still be slightly swollen; this will go away on its own.
Apply the scars 6 times daily with a cream with vitamin E. You may use makeup again, just avoid bright sunshine on your eyelids. Our specialist will check your recovery. Have confidence in a good result!
You can now resume all your normal activities, including sports. The last of the swelling has disappeared.
Enjoy your new look! If you have any questions, we’d love to hear from you. For now, your recovery is complete. We hope you enjoy your fresh look!
After 10-15 years, eyelid fat formation may return. Should this happen, a second procedure offers relief.
In that case, contact us for a consultation. Together we will look at what options fit your situation. We will be happy to prepare you for possible next steps.
For now, enjoy the results of the initial procedure. Should (many) symptoms occur later, please get in touch.
I have been a plastic surgeon since 2004. After studying medicine at the UvA, I specialized in plastic surgery. During my training I did internships at home and abroad.
After my training I started working at the Spaarne Hospital, now the Spaarne Gasthuis with locations in Hoofddorp, Haarlem Zuid and Noord. Here I was involved in reconstructive surgery, trauma, hand and general plastic surgery.
I then specialized in cosmetic surgery at a private hospital clinic. I now put my broad experience to use at Kliniek het Bolwerk, where I treat my patients with the best care. With my expertise, I want to help others with plastic-surgical solutions.

Fibroma removal
After doing a lot of research, I ended up choosing Klinik Het Bolwerk. I have quite a few moles on my face that I wanted to have removed. For me, it’s very important that this is done as beautifully as possible, cosmetically speaking. The procedure was done a little over two weeks ago, and I have to say that I am very satisfied with the size of the scars. I can see that the doctor used the smallest possible method to remove my moles. I really appreciate this, because it will help the result look as good as possible. Next month, I will have the remaining moles removed, as I am very happy with the current progress. In addition, I find the doctor very trustworthy, friendly, and social. All bonus points!

Eyelid surgery
For the second time in my life, I had an eyelid correction done and I am very satisfied and happy. The procedure was completely painless and Dr. Jairath kept chatting pleasantly so I never had time to feel nervous. The recovery also went quickly and I feel reborn and ten years younger!

Dr David Jairath is a friendly and specialised plastic surgeon who takes you very seriously. He treated me 20 and 15 years ago as well. Now I am going back again. If you are in doubt, just make an appointment or get in touch. I am very satisfied.

Piercing holes removed around my mouth. Mr Jairath is friendly, explains things clearly and takes his time. I was very nervous and he was very patient with me and not rushed, which you often experience in other clinics where it feels a bit like an assembly line. I am extremely happy with the result, and this is not even the final result yet!

Only an initial consultation that does not lead to treatment.
Like other procedures, eyelid surgery carries a small number of potential risks. We perform the treatment carefully to avoid complications as much as possible.
Temporary swelling and bruising sometimes occur, but usually disappear within a week. Permanent scars or marks are exceptional. With careful aftercare, the chance of side effects is minimal.
We now have years of experience with eyelid surgery. We are happy to explain how we minimize risks and maximize recovery. Trust that you are in good hands with us for a natural and beautiful result.
Cosmetic eyelid surgery is usually not covered by basic insurance. Some supplemental packages do offer coverage.
If there is a medical necessity, such as poor vision due to overhanging eyelids, there is a chance of reimbursement. Contact your insurer for more information.
You can also bear the costs yourself. We are transparent about fees.
We are happy to discuss with you which options are applicable to you. Together we look for the best fitting solution. Our focus is on a natural and affordable result.
At Kliniek het Bolwerk, we respect the privacy of our clients. Although we like to show what is possible with eyelid surgery, we are not allowed to share images without permission.
During the consultation, we do discuss expectations openly and honestly. Patients can bring their own photographs with them. This allows us to explain the treatment process and possible results, without going into individual cases.
Our main goal is to inform you about what this procedure can mean. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
For the first few days after surgery, it is wise to take it easy because of some swelling and bruising around the eyes. This is normal and decreases gradually.
About a week after the procedure, the sutures are removed. Then you are back on your feet, although it will take some time for the final results to show.
Usually within 2-3 weeks you will see most of the final improvement. We regularly see clients recover quickly.
