Full Body Lift in Dr. Felipe Mazzillo Plastic Surgery Clinic
About the clinic
A full body lift at Dr. Felipe Mazzillo Plastic Surgery Clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, provides body contouring for patients after massive weight loss. This procedure focuses on safety by using a staged approach to remove excess skin. Dr. Felipe Mazzillo holds certifications from the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Safety and Staged Approach
The clinic follows a strict safety protocol for body contouring. Dr. Felipe Mazzillo performs no more than two procedures in a single operation. This staged method helps reduce the risk of thrombosis and surgical complications. Each patient undergoes a full cardiological evaluation before surgery. The medical team also requires individual pre-operative exams to prepare for the treatment.
Treatment Methods and Torsoplasty
A full body lift often involves several different surgeries. These may include an abdominoplasty, arm lift, thigh lift, or breast surgery. The clinic specifically includes torsoplasty to treat excess skin on the trunk and lower back. To prevent blood clots, the surgical team uses several safety measures:
- Elastic stockings worn during and after the procedure
- Pneumatic compression to keep blood moving in the legs
- Early ambulation to get patients walking soon after surgery

He also serves as a preceptor and professor for plastic surgery residents. His training includes a residency at the Pitanguy Institute and an internship at the Miller School of Medicine in the United States.
The clinic follows a "Safety First" protocol for every procedure. Specialists prescribe pre-operative exams based on individual needs, often including a full cardiological evaluation. This screening helps optimize surgical outcomes and patient safety.
Body Contouring and Reconstructive Surgery
The surgical team performs procedures to reshape the abdomen, limbs, and gluteal regions. Surgeons often combine techniques for more balanced results. Specialized body procedures include:
- Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles
- Liposuction of the flanks, back, and abdomen to shape the waist
- Brazilian Butt Lift using fat grafting from the flanks to the buttocks
- Brachioplasty (arm lift) to remove tissue from the inner arm and armpit
- Thigh lifts and gluteal or calf implants
Brachioplasty typically requires a 24-hour hospital stay. Patients usually need two weeks off work for initial recovery.
Facial Surgery and Breast Procedures
The clinic offers surgeries for the face and breasts. Facial procedures focus on rejuvenation and structural enhancement. Breast surgeries address both aesthetic goals and reconstructive needs.
Available surgical options include:
- Blepharoplasty, facelift, and endoscopic brow lift
- Rhinoplasty, otoplasty, and chin implants
- Breast augmentation with implants and mastopexy
- Breast reduction and reconstructive surgery after tumor removal
Surgeons also treat skin tumors as part of their reconstructive services.
Non-Surgical Rejuvenation and Recovery
For patients who prefer alternatives to surgery, the clinic offers a non-surgical slimming program. This approach uses Sonic Fisio Maxx technology for localized fat reduction. The treatment requires no needles or anesthesia and leaves no marks. Facial rejuvenation is also available through botulinum toxin and dermal fillers.
To improve healing, the clinic uses photobiomodulation. This infrared laser and LED therapy helps control scar formation and supports tissue regeneration. Dr. Mazzillo stays available by phone throughout recovery to answer patient questions.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides structured care planning for patients traveling from abroad. This includes coordinating the initial evaluation and setting a timeline for surgical monitoring. Post-operative follow-up is scheduled weekly during the first month. Afterward, patients attend monthly visits until swelling resolves and the final result is visible.
