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.
Like other cosmetic procedures, eyelid surgery carries a small risk. Our specialist performs each surgery carefully to avoid complications.
Temporary symptoms such as swelling or bruising may occur during the recovery process, but usually disappear quickly. Permanent scars or residual symptoms almost never occur.
Thanks to our extensive experience, we know how to best guide the recovery process. During a personal intake interview, we are happy to explain how we minimize the risks and make recovery as smooth as possible. Please contact us if you would like to know more about this.
Cosmetic eyelid surgery is usually not covered by basic insurance. It is possible that some supplementary insurances do reimburse them (in part).
If there is a medical indication, this may lead to (partial) reimbursement. Please contact your health insurance company for this.
You can, of course, pay for the procedure yourself. We are transparent about our costs.
During an intake interview, we discuss which options are financially feasible for you. Together we look for the best possible solution, taking into account a natural end result.
Of course, we respect the privacy of our clients. While showing results is important, it is not allowed to use individual photos without permission.
During the intake interview we honestly explain what your options are and what to expect. Feel free to bring your own photos to discuss your situation.
This allows us to explain the treatment process and possible outcomes without standard examples. Our focus is on informing you about what the procedure can do for you.
If you have any questions after the consultation, don’t hesitate to contact us. Together we will find the best approach.
