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!

From the first consultation through to the operation and the aftercare, everything felt professional, clear and trustworthy. Mr Jairath is a very skilled doctor with a great deal of knowledge and experience. He knows exactly what he is talking about, puts you at ease and gives honest, good advice.
As far as I am concerned, the procedure and guidance were absolutely worth 5 stars. I am very happy with the result of the correction, my complaints have gone and I feel a lot better for it.
My compliments and thanks to Mr Jairath.

Eyelid surgery
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.

The price of eyelid surgery near Assendelft depends on your wishes and on what we discuss during the consultation. To always give you the right information, we keep all rates up to date in one central place. That way, you can be sure you are seeing the most recent prices, including the first consultation.
On our rates page you will find the complete and current overview of all treatments.
No, the treatment is generally not painful. During the procedure we use local anaesthetic, so you do not feel anything. Many clients experience it as a relaxed treatment, partly because we take the time to put you at ease.
After the procedure you may have some tightness or a bruised feeling around the eyes, but this is temporary. With enough rest and cooling, your body recovers quickly and any pain afterwards is easy to tolerate.
In the first few days after the procedure you may have some swelling and bruising. This is a normal reaction and usually subsides within a week. After about a week we remove the stitches and you can return to light daily activities.
Most people have fully recovered after two weeks. The final result is often clearly visible after two to three weeks, once the skin has settled and any discolouration has faded.
The small incisions are made precisely in the natural crease of the eyelid, so scars are barely visible once healed. We also use fine stitches for a subtle result.
With good wound care and our aftercare advice, the scars usually heal well and inconspicuously. If needed, we also recommend using a scar cream to further support healing.
Light work, such as reading or working at a computer, is often possible again after a few days. For more strenuous exertion such as sport or heavy lifting, we advise waiting at least ten to fourteen days.
We always discuss your personal situation at the follow-up appointment, so you know exactly when you can safely do what again.
Eyelid surgery is usually considered cosmetic and is therefore not covered by basic health insurance. Only when excess skin genuinely obstructs your vision may (partial) reimbursement be possible in some cases.
We recommend discussing this with your health insurer beforehand. During the consultation we look at whether your situation might qualify on medical grounds.
You will often see a difference soon after the procedure, but expect some swelling and discolouration in the first week. This is part of the normal healing process.
The final result, a fresh and natural look, usually becomes clearly visible after two to three weeks. By then the skin has calmed down and you can really start enjoying the result.
