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.

I was very well looked after, and everything was explained to me step by step. The final result is exactly what I had hoped for, and I definitely do not regret the treatment. Recovery during the first week was quite tough, but after just one week I was already healing very well. The end result is exactly what I had envisioned for years. I am very satisfied.

Fibroma removal
I am very satisfied with the treatment at Kliniek het Bolwerk in Haarlem. Dr David Jairath took all the time needed to explain everything clearly and carried out the procedure with great expertise. The treatment of my seborrhoeic wart (POK) went smoothly and without any issues. His friendly and calm manner immediately put me at ease. The communication by email, with clear instructions before and after the treatment, was also very helpful. Absolutely recommended!

Only an initial consultation that does not lead to treatment.
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.
