What does upper eyelid surgery cost in the Netherlands?

Prices for upper eyelid surgery in the Netherlands roughly range from € 1,000 to € 2,500. At Looks Clinics, the clinic behind this platform, upper eyelid surgery costs € 1,750. The € 50 consultation fee is fully deducted if you proceed with treatment. More important than the amount itself is knowing what it includes.

What should be included?

  • The preliminary examination and treatment plan by the physician who also operates.
  • The procedure itself, under local anaesthesia, including materials.
  • The follow-up check and removal of stitches.
  • Availability for questions or problems during recovery.

Ask every clinic whether these elements are included. A low entry price with follow-up checks billed separately is not necessarily cheaper in the end.

Where do price differences come from?

Differences mainly arise from who operates (a dedicated eyelid surgeon or a broadly working physician), the number of procedures a clinic performs, location and overhead, and what is or is not included. A high price is no guarantee of quality, and the lowest price is rarely the whole story.

What to pay attention to

  • Will you be operated on by the person you spoke to at the consultation?
  • How many upper eyelid procedures does the physician perform per year?
  • Is there a clear arrangement for complications and questions afterwards?
  • Do you first receive an honest suitability assessment, or immediately a quote?

FAQ

Is an expensive clinic better?

Not automatically. Look at specialisation, yearly procedure numbers and what the price includes, not just the amount.

Can I pay in instalments?

This differs per clinic. Ask about it during your consultation.
