Lumps on the skin are usually not dangerous, but they can cause discomfort. Many people find that lumps catch on clothing or jewellery. Sometimes they cause itching or a burning sensation, especially in warm weather or with friction. They can also make the skin look uneven or blemished, which can affect your self-confidence.
At Kliniek het Bolwerk we only remove harmless, benign skin lumps. These can be of various kinds. Common examples are small sebaceous gland bumps, fibromas (also called skin tags), keratinised bumps or small fatty lumps. Not sure whether your lump can be treated? During the consultation you always receive honest and expert advice.

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!

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 lump removal 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 see the most recent prices, including the first consultation.
On our rates page you will find the complete and current overview of all treatments.
Removing skin lumps is usually not reimbursed, because it is often a cosmetic treatment. The procedure then counts as 'non-medically necessary care' and is therefore not eligible for reimbursement from basic health insurance.
Only with medical complaints such as recurring inflammation, bleeding or severe irritation can an exception sometimes be made. Always contact your health insurer beforehand to ask about the options within your policy.
The treatment is usually well tolerated and in many cases even virtually pain-free. Small lumps can often be removed without anaesthetic, because only superficial tissue is involved and the procedure is over quickly.
For larger or sensitive lumps we use a local anaesthetic, so you feel nothing during the treatment. At most you may feel light pressure or touch. Afterwards the skin may be a little sensitive for a short time, but this usually fades quickly.
Our plastic surgeon always takes your comfort into account and explains step by step what you can expect.
The recovery time is usually short. Small wounds often heal within a few days to two weeks, depending on the size and location of the lumps.
You do not need to stay at home or rest. You can simply continue your daily activities. We do advise against swimming, going to the sauna or intensive sport in the first days, as this can slow down recovery.
We always give you clear aftercare instructions, so the skin can heal calmly and well. Any redness or scab usually disappears on its own.
In most cases the skin heals well and hardly any scar remains. The wounds are small and we work with fine instruments that damage the skin as little as possible.
Do you have sensitive skin or a tendency to scarring? Then we discuss this beforehand during the consultation. That way we can tailor the treatment and aftercare to it.
Good wound care is important for a good final result. We always advise you on how best to care for the skin after the procedure, so the chance of visible scars stays minimal.
Yes, it is certainly possible to have several lumps removed in one treatment. During the consultation we assess how many lumps there are and where they are located.
We then agree together on what is feasible in one session. In many cases we can treat several lumps one after another, without you having to come back.
If there are many lumps or they are in sensitive places, we may choose to split the treatment. Everything is done in consultation with you, with attention to comfort and safety.
A removed lump usually does not grow back, because it is removed completely. However, a new lump may develop elsewhere on the skin, especially if you are prone to them.
The cause of many benign skin lumps is often genetic or hormonal, and therefore difficult to prevent. Fortunately, these lumps can again be removed well and safely.
During the consultation we also discuss how you can keep your skin healthy and what to look out for. That way you know what to do if something develops again in the future.
