Meanwhile, behind the scenes, we arrange all the necessary details. Once that is in place, time goes by quickly.
After you have decided to undergo eyelid surgery, we will schedule a date. We recommend a quiet period for a smooth recovery.

Before the day itself arrives, we recommend the following:
If you prepare everything well, you have the best chance of a smooth recovery.
When you are about to have surgery, it is wise to check this out:
We are counting down to tomorrow! Make sure you don’t have to think about anything else. Then you can be completely relaxed for a smooth course of treatment.
Today is the day! You’re going to have eyelid surgery in Amsterdam. Take a shower in the morning and arrive at the practice 15 minutes beforehand. The procedure takes about an hour.
After that you will have some time to recover. Make sure someone picks you up then.
Take it easy for the first few days. Cool your eyes regularly to promote recovery. Our doctor will explain to you how to do this.
We wish you the best of luck today! Our team is ready to make everything go as smoothly as possible. With our care, recovery can begin safely.
During the first few days, the swelling around your eyes gradually decreases. This may be accompanied by blue discoloration. This is normal and a sign of recovery.
Leave the stitches and bandages as they are. These will hold everything in place while the wound heals. Devote the first 3 days to complete rest. Read, sleep and relax. After that, you can carefully resume light activities.
Should you have any concerns about recovery, call us immediately. Our specialists are ready to answer all your questions. Together, we’ll make sure your recovery period goes smoothly.
Come back in a week for removal of the stitches. Your eyes may still be a little swollen at this time. This will go away on its own.
From then on, apply a vitamin E-based cream to the scars daily. This supports the healing process.
You may wear makeup again, but avoid bright sunlight on your eyes. This can actually cause irritation.
After 2 weeks, the last swelling is also completely gone. You can resume all activities, including sports.
Now enjoy your beautiful, fresh look to the fullest. If you have any questions in the future, please let us know. For now, you have the green light to enjoy to the fullest.
After 10-15 years, the formation of excess eyelid fat can increase again. Should this be the case with you, a second procedure offers a solution.
If so, please contact us for an intake. Together, we’ll see which options are best for you at that time. Our team will then prepare you for the next steps.
Until then, you can still enjoy the results of the first treatment. Should questions or doubts arise in the meantime, please let us know. Together we will find the best solution.
For more than 15 years I have been working as a plastic surgeon. After studying medicine at the University of Amsterdam, I specialized in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
During my training, I did internships in several hospitals at home and abroad, where I expanded my knowledge and experience. I then started working as a plastic surgeon at the Spaarne Gasthuis, where I focused on reconstructive surgery, trauma and general plastic surgery.
More recently, I focused on cosmetic surgery at a private clinic. I now use my broad expertise at Clinic het Bolwerk to treat clients with the best care. With my years of experience, I enjoy helping others with plastic surgery procedures.

Only an initial consultation that does not lead to treatment.
Like other cosmetic procedures, eyelid surgery carries a small risk. Our specialist performs each procedure carefully to avoid complications.
Temporary symptoms such as swelling or bruising occur, but usually disappear quickly. Permanent scars or scarring are extremely rare.
Thanks to our many years of experience, we know how to best manage recovery. We are happy to explain how we minimize the risks and maximize your healing.
Cosmetic eyelid surgery is usually not covered by basic insurance. It may be reimbursed in some supplementary packages.
If there is a medical indication, there is a chance of (partial) reimbursement. Contact your insurer for this.
You can, of course, pay for the treatment yourself. We are transparent about our fees.
During the intake interview we are happy to discuss the options with you. Together we look for the best, most affordable solution. Our focus is on a natural result.
We obviously respect the privacy of our clients. Although we like to show what is possible, displaying individual photos without permission is not allowed.
During the consultation, we openly and honestly explain what to expect. You can bring your own photos to discuss your situation.
This way we can explain the treatment process of overhanging eyelids and the possible results. We do this without using sample photos.
Our focus is on informing you about what this procedure can do for you. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Together we will find the best solution.
