Our specialists are happy to see you for a personal consultation. Together we discuss which options best suit your situation. Book your appointment today!
During the intake consultation we discuss:
We take plenty of time for this consultation and answer all your questions. Photos are also treated confidentially. At this stage, everything is about making sure you are well informed and feel at ease. That way you can make a well-considered choice.
If you are happy with the consultation, we start the preparations. Our specialist discusses the treatment technique used and schedules the procedure. You also receive a clear aftercare plan from us so that you can enjoy life 100% again as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we take care of the final formalities. Once all the details are arranged, the last few weeks pass quickly. And then the day arrives: we help you achieve the best result!
Together we look for a date for the procedure. We recommend a quiet period for the best possible recovery. If anything unexpected comes up, let us know so that we can prepare everything properly. Your wellbeing is central throughout the whole process.
Important things before the procedure are:
If you prepare well, your recovery after the procedure is expected to go smoothly. We recommend downloading our brochure.
With the procedure in sight, it is a good idea to go through the following points:
We are counting down to the big day. Make sure you have nothing left to arrange, so you can relax completely. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow for a smooth procedure!
Today is the day, and we are ready! Shower in the morning and arrive at the clinic 15 minutes early. The procedure takes about an hour. Afterwards you stay a little while before going home.
Make sure someone is ready to collect you. Take it easy for the first few days and cool your eyelids regularly. Our specialist will be happy to explain how your recovery continues. All the best today!
Your eyelids will swell slightly and bruise during the first few days. This is normal and gradually subsides. Leave the wound strips in place; they keep the stitches in position.
Take it easy for the first 3 days. After that, light tasks such as working at a computer at home can be resumed. Call us immediately if you have any questions or concerns.
Come back on the agreed date to have the stitches removed. Your eyes may still be slightly swollen; this goes down by itself.
Apply a cream containing vitamin E to the scars 6 times a day. You may use make-up again, but avoid bright sunshine on your eyelids. Our specialist checks your recovery. Rest assured of a good result!
You can now resume all your usual activities, including sport. The last of the swelling has gone.
Enjoy your new look! If you still have questions, we would love to hear from you. For now, your recovery is complete. We hope you enjoy your fresh look!
After 10 to 15 years, fat may build up in the eyelids again. If this happens, a second procedure can offer a solution.
In that case, contact us for a consultation. Together we will look at which options suit your situation. We will be happy to prepare you for any next steps.
For now, enjoy the results of the first procedure. If you experience (significant) complaints later on, just get in touch.
I am David Jairath, a plastic surgeon since 2004. I studied medicine at the University of Amsterdam, where I also trained as a plastic surgeon. During my training I did various placements in the Netherlands and abroad.
After my training I started working at the Spaarne Hospital in Hoofddorp. Today this is the Spaarne Gasthuis, with 3 locations in Hoofddorp, Haarlem Zuid and Haarlem Noord.
In hospital practice I worked on breast reconstructions in collaboration with general surgery, (plastic surgical) trauma, hand surgery and general plastic surgery. At the private clinic (Plastisch Cosmetisch Centrum Spaarne) I specialised further in cosmetic surgery.
I now use the many years of experience I gained there for my clients at Kliniek het Bolwerk.

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
I went to Mr Jairath for eyelid surgery and I am extremely satisfied with the whole process.
From the first consultation through to the operation and the aftercare, everything felt professional, clear and trustworthy. Mr Jairath is a very skilled doctor with a great deal of knowledge and experience. He knows exactly what he is talking about, puts you at ease and gives honest, good advice.
As far as I am concerned, the procedure and guidance were absolutely worth 5 stars. I am very happy with the result of the correction, my complaints have gone and I feel a lot better for it.
My compliments and thanks to Mr Jairath.

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 eyelid surgery depends on your wishes and on what we discuss during the consultation. To always give you the right information, we keep all our rates up to date in one central place. That way you can be sure you are seeing the most recent prices, including the first consultation.
On our rates page you will find the complete and current overview of all treatments.
Like other procedures, eyelid surgery carries a small number of potential risks. We perform the treatment carefully to prevent complications as much as possible.
Temporary swelling and bruising sometimes occur, but usually disappear within a week. Permanent scars or marks are exceptional. With careful aftercare, the chance of side effects is minimal.
We now have many years of experience with eyelid surgery. We are happy to explain how we minimise the risks and maximise recovery. Rest assured that you are in good hands with us for a natural and attractive result.
Cosmetic eyelid surgery is usually not reimbursed by basic health insurance. Some supplementary policies do offer cover.
If there is a medical necessity, for example poor vision due to overhanging eyelids, reimbursement may be possible. Contact your insurer for more information.
You can also pay the costs yourself. We are transparent about our rates.
We are happy to discuss with you which options apply to you. Together we look for the most suitable solution. Our focus is on a natural and affordable result.
At Kliniek het Bolwerk we respect the privacy of our clients. Although we would like to show what is possible with eyelid surgery, we are not allowed to share images without consent.
During the consultation we do discuss expectations openly and honestly. Patients can bring their own photos. This allows us to explain the treatment process and the possible results, without going into individual cases.
Our main aim is to inform you about what this procedure can mean for you. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
In the first few days after the procedure, it is wise to take it easy because of a certain amount of swelling and bruising around the eyes. This is normal and gradually subsides.
The stitches are removed about a week after the procedure. You are then back on your feet, although it takes some time before the final results are visible.
You usually see most of the final improvement within 2 to 3 weeks. We regularly see clients recover quickly.
You can usually book a consultation within a week. If you then decide to go ahead, the procedure often follows within two weeks. The online calendar shows straight away when David Jairath is available.
Upper eyelid surgery costs €1,250 and lower eyelid surgery €1,699. The consultation costs €50, which is deducted if you are treated within three months. You can find all our fees on the prices page.
At Staten Bolwerk 1, Koetshuis 1, first floor, 2011 MK Haarlem, within walking distance of Haarlem station. If you come by car, you can park for free in one of the clinic's two parking spaces.
