I am David Jairath, plastic surgeon since 2004. I studied Medicine at the University of Amsterdam where I also did my specialization as a plastic surgeon. During my training I did several internships at home and abroad.
After my training, I started working at the Spaarne Hospital Hoofddorp. Nowadays this is the Spaarne Gasthuis with 3 locations in Hoofddorp, Haarlem Zuid and Haarlem Noord.
In hospital practice, I preformed breast reconstructions in conjunction with general surgery, trauma (plastic surgery), hand surgery and general plastic surgery. In the private clinic (Plastic Cosmetic Center Spaarne) I further specialized in cosmetic surgery.
The years of experience I gained there I now use for my clients at Kliniek het Bolwerk.

General
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 a plastic surgeon, I have years of specialized training and experience in aesthetic surgery, including eyelid surgery. This ensures not only a safe procedure, but also high-quality cosmetic results.
Choosing a plastic surgeon means investing in quality, precision and peace of mind, a difference that goes beyond price.
As with any surgery, there are a small number of risks associated with eyelid surgery. For example, there may be temporary swelling and bruising around the eyes. However, this is normal after such procedures and disappears on its own within a few days to a week.
Scarring and asymmetry of the eyes are less common. We perform the procedure meticulously to minimize the risk of side effects. With proper aftercare, the risk of complications is very low.
Eyelid surgery is usually not covered by basic insurance (in The Netherlands) because it is a purely cosmetic procedure. Some supplementary insurance policies do offer coverage. It is wise to check whether your insurer will cover this procedure if it is medically necessary, for example, in cases of poor vision due to swollen or drooping eyelids.
Should your insurance not cover the treatment, you can pay the cost yourself. We are transparent about the price. Feel free to contact us for more information about this and we will be happy to help you explore your options. Together we look at which treatment suits you best.
At Kliniek het Bolwerk, we do not share “before and after” photos of our eyelid surgery procedures. We do this out of respect for the privacy of our clients. Although we like to show the results of our treatments, we are not allowed to share medical information and photos without permission.
However, clients can discuss their own before and after photos with us during their intake. This way we like to give an honest picture of what clients can expect from us. This without going into individual treatments without permission.
The recovery process after eyelid surgery usually only takes about a week. In the first few days, there will be swelling and bruising around the eyes. This is normal after such a procedure. Take it easy for the first 3 days.
After about a week, these symptoms are almost gone. After a week, the sutures are removed. At that point, you will be fully on your feet again, although of course the results will take some time to appear.
Within 2-3 weeks you can already see most of the final results. Typically, our clients recover quickly.
