Meanwhile, behind the scenes, we are arranging all the final formalities. Once all the details are settled, the operation will be able to take place quickly. Afterwards, we will continue to help you on your way to the optimal end result!
Together we will plan a suitable date for eyelid lifting. We recommend that you choose a period of quiet time for a smooth recovery.
If something comes up in between, please let us know right away. If necessary, we can then arrange another date so that we can prepare everything properly.
Some important things to consider in the days leading up to the eyelid lift:
Please contact us if you have any questions. That way, together we can make sure you feel optimally prepared.
With the eyelid lift coming up, you would do well to check the following points:
We are counting down to the big day. Don’t worry about anything and relax. We expect you tomorrow for a smooth procedure.
Today is the day we will perform your eyelid surgery! Shower in the morning and come to the clinic 15 minutes beforehand. The surgery will take about an hour.
After that, you will stay with us for a while for observation before you can go home. Please have someone ready to pick you up.
Take it easy for the first few days. Cool your eyelids regularly with ice bags and frozen peas. Our specialist will then explain to you in detail about postoperative recovery.
We wish you the best of luck with your surgery today! Our team is here to make sure your eyelid surgery goes off without a hitch.
For the first few days after eyelid surgery, it is normal for your eyelids to swell slightly and turn blue. This gradually subsides.
Hold the suture strips in place; they will hold the sutures in the correct position.
You should take complete rest for the first few days. After that, you can gradually resume light activities, such as working at home at the computer.
Please contact us immediately if you have any questions or concerns. We are here for you during recovery. Also, be sure to follow the aftercare plan we discussed with you.
Come back on the appointed date for a checkup and removal of the sutures. Slight swelling or blue discoloration (bruising) is still possible; this will go away on its own.
Apply vitamin E cream to the scars 6 times a day. You can also use makeup again, but avoid bright sunlight on the eyelids.
We will keep a close eye on your progress. Have every confidence in a good end result thanks to our expertise!
After two weeks, all swelling and bruising are completely gone. You can now resume your normal daily routines, work and sports activities without restrictions.
Now you can enjoy a fresh, rested look thanks to eyelid surgery! If you have any questions in the future, we would be happy to hear from you.
For now, your recovery is complete and you can fully enjoy the results. We hope you enjoy your new look! Don’t hesitate to contact us if anything unexpected happens.
After 10-15 years, the formation of excess eyelid fat can return in some cases. Should this be the case with you, a second eyelid lift offers a solution.
In that case, contact us for a consultation. Together we will see which corrective method best suits the situation.
Then we will be happy to help you with advice on possible next steps. Until then, enjoy the results of the first procedure.
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.

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.
