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.
I am David Jairath, a plastic surgeon since 2004. I studied medicine at the University of Amsterdam, where I also trained as a plastic surgeon. During my training I did various placements in the Netherlands and abroad.
After my training I started working at the Spaarne Hospital in Hoofddorp. Today this is the Spaarne Gasthuis, with 3 locations in Hoofddorp, Haarlem Zuid and Haarlem Noord.
In hospital practice I worked on breast reconstructions in collaboration with general surgery, (plastic surgical) trauma, hand surgery and general plastic surgery. At the private clinic (Plastisch Cosmetisch Centrum Spaarne) I specialised further in cosmetic surgery.
I now use the many years of experience I gained there for my clients at Kliniek het Bolwerk.

Eyelid surgery
I am extremely satisfied with my eyelid surgery by David Jairath. Because I had already had eyelid surgery in the past, I had a good idea of what to expect. That is exactly why this experience stood out as so positive.
David Jairath is a very skilled and professional surgeon, but what really sets him apart for me is how approachable and involved he is. He takes plenty of time to explain everything clearly, listens carefully to your questions and is also easy to reach after the procedure. That gave me a lot of confidence and a sense of safety throughout the whole process.
The aftercare is also excellent. You notice that you as a patient really come first and that there is genuine attention to a good recovery. Questions are answered quickly and kindly, which is very reassuring.
I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend David Jairath to anyone considering eyelid surgery. A skilled surgeon with a pleasant, personal approach and excellent aftercare. I am very happy with my choice and the lovely result.

I am so happy with the result of my treatment with Dr Jairath. I came for a lip correction because of scar tissue, and from the first consultation I immediately had a very pleasant and trusting feeling.
Dr Jairath is a true craftsman through and through. His eye for detail, precision and professionalism immediately give you the confidence that you are in the best hands. He takes all the time you need, listens carefully to your wishes and explains everything clearly and calmly. His assistant also deserves a big compliment. She is extremely friendly, involved and caring and puts you completely at ease from the very first moment.
The procedure was carried out very skilfully and the result already looks better than I had dared to hope. The aftercare is also excellent. Everything is explained clearly and you can tell in every way that the work is done with genuine attention and love for the profession. I am enormously grateful for the professional and personal guidance. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend Dr Jairath and his wonderful assistant to anyone looking for quality, craftsmanship, trust and personal attention.
Thank you so much for the wonderful care. I could not have wished for a better team!

During the intake consultation with Mr David Jairath I already had a good feeling about it. He explained clearly what the procedure involved. After the intake I also received additional information by email. The procedure itself was very relaxed. He explained everything step by step during the procedure. Everything is done under local anaesthetic. We had a really nice conversation during the procedure and before you knew it the treatment was over. I received clear information on what to do after the procedure. After a week the stitches were removed. I am very satisfied with the final result.
