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.
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.
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.
Good preparation helps with a smooth recovery. Think of:
Getting enough groceries and personal care products in the house
Allow yourself rest around the day of treatment, so that you can focus fully on recovery.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
