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.
