My name is David Jairath and I have been working as a plastic surgeon since 2004. I started my medical education at the University of Amsterdam. At this university I completed the specialist training to become a plastic surgeon.
During my studies I had the opportunity to do an internship in several hospitals in and outside the Netherlands. After my studies, I started working at the Spaarne Hospital in Hoofddorp, now part of the Spaarne Gasthuis with locations in Haarlem and Hoofddorp.
In this hospital setting, I engaged in reconstructive surgery and collaborated with colleagues in general surgery, hand surgery and general plastic surgery. In addition, I further specialized in cosmetic surgery through the clinic attached to the hospital.
I now put my vast experience of almost 20 years as a plastic surgeon to use at Kliniek het Bolwerk.

General
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!

Like any surgery, an eyelid elevator carries limited risks. Temporary swelling and blue discoloration around the eyes may occur shortly after surgery. These are normal reactions of the body and usually disappear after a few days to a week.
Scarring or asymmetry in the final result are less common. Our specialist performs the procedure carefully to avoid complications as much as possible. In addition, proper aftercare significantly reduces the risk of side effects.
Eyelid surgery is not covered by basic insurance in most cases because it is a cosmetic treatment. Some supplementary insurance policies do offer coverage. It is therefore worth checking whether your health insurer will cover the costs if the procedure is medically necessary. For example, in cases of restricted vision due to swollen or drooping eyelids.
Should your insurance not cover the treatment, you have the option of bearing the cost yourself. We are transparent about the costs. Feel free to contact us for more information. Together we look at the different options to see which treatment best suits your situation. Our specialists are ready to answer your questions.
At Kliniek het Bolwerk, we respect the privacy of our clients. Therefore, we do not share “before and after” photos of eyelid surgery without permission. Although we are happy to show the possibilities, medical records and images are private.
However, clients can discuss their own photos with us during the intake interview. This way we give an honest picture of what is possible without revealing specific treatments. Of course, only with permission.
Our specialists are happy to explain what the expectations are. This allows clients to make an informed choice. Respect for privacy is paramount.
The recovery process after eyelid surgery is usually smooth. During the first few days, you can expect swelling and blue discoloration around the eyes. These are normal physical reactions. Take rest for the first 3 days.
After about a week, most of these symptoms disappear. One week after the procedure, the sutures are removed. From then on, you can resume all normal activities, although it will take some time before the final results are visible.
Within two to three weeks, most results are visible. Typically, our clients make an excellent and quick recovery after eyelid surgery at our clinic in North Holland.
