My name is David Jairath and 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 Ziekenhuis, 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.

From the very first intake appointment, the treatment was perfect. Dr. Jairath is a very friendly and skilled doctor who works with great precision, resulting in a beautiful outcome! It’s only been three weeks and I haven’t even fully done my makeup yet, but I’ve already received many compliments!!!
Thank you again so much

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!

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!

As with other procedures, there are a small number of potential risks associated with eyelid surgery. We perform the procedure with the utmost care and attention to avoid complications as much as possible.
Temporary swelling and bruising sometimes occur after the procedure, but usually disappear within a week. Permanent scars are also rare.
With our comprehensive aftercare program, the chance of side effects is minimal. We use state-of-the-art techniques and have years of experience with hundreds of procedures.
We are happy to explain how we minimize risks and maximize recovery. Our patients know they are in good hands with us for a natural and beautiful result.
A cosmetic eyelid lift is usually not covered by basic insurance because it is considered an optional procedure.
Sometimes additional insurance does offer coverage. In cases of medical necessity, such as when the eyelids obstruct vision, there may be reimbursement for eyelid surgery from basic insurance.
Contact your insurer to find out if and to what extent they will cover the cost of an eyelid lift in your situation.
Should there be no reimbursement, you can also bear the costs yourself. We are transparent about our fees. Together with you, we look at which financial solution fits best.
At Clinic the Bolwerk, we value careful and confidential treatment. Although we like to show what is possible with eyelid lifting, we respect the privacy of our patients.
Therefore, we do not share medical images without permission. During a consultation, we do discuss expectations openly and honestly. Patients can also bring their own pictures.
Thus, we explain what the procedure entails and the possible results, without going into individual cases.
It is wise to rest for a few days because of swelling and bruising around the eyes. This is normal and decreases gradually.
About a week after the procedure, the sutures are removed. You can then carefully return to work and resume your normal activities.
It does take several weeks after that before the final results are visible. You usually see the greatest improvement within 2-3 weeks.
Our experience shows that clients recover relatively quickly. However, it is important to follow aftercare advice.
