Located in Zwolle, directly opposite the Isala Hospital, is the main branch of Looks Clinics: the specialised clinic for eyelid corrections, with branches in Zwolle and Amsterdam and an intake location in Rotterdam. In a tastefully decorated waiting room with a living room feel, we are speaking with drs. A.M.A. Dulaimi, eye surgeon and founder of the clinic. Clients rate Looks Clinics a 9.0 on Kliniekervaringen.nl; before and after photos can be found on the website. Every result is personal; your result may be different.
Most people associate eyelid surgery with upper eyelid surgery; in this procedure, the doctor removes excess skin from the upper eyelids. At Looks Clinics, this is indeed the most frequently performed procedure, but the doctor also removes fat deposits from the upper and lower eyelids. When it comes to eyelid surgery, we must also consider bags under the eyes, or lower eyelid surgery: a complex procedure that is performed here regularly. Additionally, Looks Clinics performs laser treatments.
The team is professional and includes eye surgeons, aesthetic physicians (including drs. N. Lahdo), an optometrist, and medical assistants, all qualified and, where applicable, registered with the BIG (Dutch register of healthcare professionals). You can also come to Looks Clinics for a second opinion or corrective surgery following previous treatment elsewhere.
Drs. Dulaimi has a broad educational background. “After studying medicine at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, I continued my training at the internationally renowned ophthalmology training program at Maastricht University.”
Subsequently, he obtained the European diploma for ophthalmologists in Paris. He is a member of the Dutch Orbital Society, the Dutch Ophthalmological Society, the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. In addition to his work at Looks Clinics, drs. Dulaimi works as an eye surgeon at FYEO.
The main office is located at the Health Innovation Park in Zwolle, Dokter Stolteweg 88, a modern medical building opposite the Isala Hospital. Free parking is available here. “We have a modern operating room with advanced diagnostic equipment.”
Intake
During an intake interview, wishes and possibilities are discussed. If the doctor and client agree on the treatment, the procedure is scheduled. There is always a minimum of one week of reflection time between these two stages. Drs. Dulaimi believes that a client should always have sufficient time to consider the decision.
Interventions and aftercare
The procedures naturally vary per client, tailored to age, face, and wishes. We take ample time before and after the procedure to put the client as comfortable as possible. “We offer personal guidance before and after the procedure. An assistant will call you on the third day after the procedure; the stitches are removed after six days, and the final result is visible after approximately six months.”
All of the Netherlands
Clients come from all over the country. With the branch in Amsterdam and the intake location in Rotterdam, Looks Clinics is also close by in the Randstad. “People are willing to travel for quality; typically, they only have such a procedure performed once in a lifetime. We schedule the procedure in consultation with you.” You can make an appointment at Looks Clinics yourself via the website or by calling: 038 303 55 80 (Zwolle) or 020 2310 550 (Amsterdam).
