The treatment process for eyelid surgery
1: Schedule an intake consultation
Would you like to know what eyelid surgery can do for you? Then schedule a no-obligation consultation. You can easily do this through our website, by phone or via WhatsApp.
During the intake consultation we take the time to discuss your concerns and wishes, examine the skin around your eyes and go through your medical background. You will receive honest and professional advice, fully tailored to your situation.
2: Tailored treatment plan
Based on the consultation, Dr Jairath draws up a personal treatment proposal. It sets out which technique will be used, what you can expect from the result and what the recovery looks like.
Of course, we also go through any risks with you. You will have every opportunity to ask questions, so that you can make your choice with confidence.
3: Scheduling the treatment
Do you decide to go ahead with the treatment? Then we schedule a suitable date together. We take your diary into account and advise you on a quiet recovery period.
You will receive clear instructions about what to arrange in advance, which medication you must (temporarily) stop using and what to bring on the day of treatment.
4: Preparing at home
Good preparation helps with a smooth recovery. Think of:
Getting enough groceries and personal care products in the house
- Having sunglasses ready for after the treatment
- Cold packs in the freezer
- Arranging transport for the day of the procedure
Allow yourself rest around the day of treatment, so that you can focus fully on recovery.
5: The day before the procedure
On the day before the treatment, we recommend going through everything calmly.
Get plenty of rest, follow our doctor's instructions and feel free to ask any questions you still have. A relaxed preparation makes for a more pleasant experience on the day itself.
6: The day of treatment
We expect you at our clinic fresh and clear-headed. The procedure takes about 45 to 60 minutes and is performed under local anaesthetic.
So you will not feel any pain, but you will remain conscious. Afterwards you rest with us for a little while, after which you go home with someone accompanying you. You will receive clear aftercare instructions and tips for your recovery.
7: The first days at home
Swelling or bruising around the eyes is normal in the first days.
We recommend avoiding physical exertion, cooling your eyes regularly and getting enough rest. Follow the instructions you receive from us and always contact us if you have any questions.
8: Follow-up appointment and removal of stitches
About a week after the treatment, you come back for a follow-up appointment. During this appointment the stitches are removed and we assess the healing process.
You will receive advice on scar care, for example with a scar cream. From this point on, you can gradually resume most daily activities.
9: Two weeks after the procedure
After two weeks, most of the swelling has gone and the result becomes increasingly clear. Your eyes have a fresh, rested appearance and you can use make-up or exercise again, unless advised otherwise. Of course, we remain available if you have any questions.
10: Long-term aftercare
Even after you have recovered, you can come to us for advice or extra follow-up appointments. We monitor your recovery in the long term, and if you were to develop symptoms again years later, we will look together at suitable solutions.
11: A possible second procedure in the future
In some people, the excess skin partly returns after ten to fifteen years.
Should you wish to consider eyelid surgery again in the future, we are ready to help you with the same care and guidance as with the first treatment.

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.

Frequently asked questions
What does eyelid surgery involve for patients from Hilversum?
Eyelid surgery is a relatively minor surgical procedure in which excess skin, and sometimes fatty tissue, is removed from around the eyes. Many people from Hilversum choose this treatment when they notice that their eyes are looking more tired or when drooping eyelids start to affect their vision. The aim of the procedure is to give the eyes a fresh and open appearance again, without it being visible that you have been treated.
For patients from Hilversum, the treatment takes place at our clinic in Haarlem. During a personal consultation, we assess whether upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery or a combination of the two is most suitable. We always take your face shape and natural appearance into account, so that the result stays in balance.
When do people from Hilversum choose eyelid surgery?
People from Hilversum often consider eyelid surgery when they are bothered by drooping eyelids, eye bags or a heavy feeling around the eyes. This can affect not only your appearance, but also how fit or energetic you feel. In some cases, excess skin can even restrict your vision, which is a practical reason to consider the treatment.
The wish to look fresher and more rested also plays a role. Many patients from Hilversum say they feel better when their appearance is once again in line with how they feel inside. During a consultation, we look together at whether the treatment matches your expectations and situation.
What does recovery after eyelid surgery look like if you come from Hilversum?
After eyelid surgery, you can expect a recovery period in which swelling and bruising occur around the eyes. This is a normal part of the healing process and usually largely subsides within one to two weeks. For patients from Hilversum, this means that you come to Haarlem a few times after the treatment for a check-up, depending on how your recovery progresses.
It is important to rest in the first few days and to follow the aftercare instructions carefully. Think of cooling the eyelids and avoiding exertion. Most people from Hilversum can gradually resume their daily activities after about a week, although full recovery may take a little longer.
Is the result of eyelid surgery permanent?
In most cases, the result of eyelid surgery is long-lasting. Many patients from Hilversum enjoy a fresh and open look for years after the treatment. It is important to know, however, that the natural ageing process continues, so the skin may change again over time.
How long the result remains visible differs from person to person and depends on factors such as skin type, lifestyle and genetics. During the consultation at our clinic near Hilversum, you get a realistic picture of what to expect in the long term, so that you can make a well-considered choice.
Does eyelid surgery hurt, and how do patients from Hilversum experience it?
Eyelid surgery is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the treatment itself is usually well tolerated. Patients from Hilversum often say that they mainly feel a slight pulling sensation, but no sharp pain during the procedure. The treatment usually takes less than an hour.
After the procedure, you may experience some pain or a tight feeling around the eyes. This is usually mild and easy to control with simple pain relief. Most patients from Hilversum find the recovery manageable, especially when they follow the advice they are given.

If you are considering eyelid surgery and live in Hilversum, the first step is to book a consultation at Kliniek het Bolwerk in Haarlem.
