Breast augmentation in Dr. Felipe Mazzillo Plastic Surgery Clinic
About the clinic
Breast augmentation at the Dr. Felipe Mazzillo Plastic Surgery Clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, uses silicone implants to enhance breast shape and volume. The procedure is performed by Dr. Felipe Mazzillo, a specialist certified by both the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This dual accreditation helps maintain high safety standards for every patient.
Expert Surgical Approach
Dr. Felipe Mazzillo brings over 10 years of experience to aesthetic and reconstructive breast procedures. He completed his residency at the Pitanguy Institute and an internship at the Miller School of Medicine. Currently, Dr. Felipe Mazzillo serves as a professor of plastic surgery at Instituto Carlos Chagas/PUC-RJ. His academic and clinical background supports a precise surgical technique focused on natural results.
Procedure and Implant Placement
The surgery typically uses the subglandular method, where the doctor places the implant above the pectoral muscle. This technique is less invasive than under-muscle placement and helps reduce discomfort after the operation. Dr. Felipe Mazzillo makes the incision in the inframammary fold, which is the natural crease under the breast. This choice helps hide the scar and keeps the milk ducts intact for future breastfeeding.
Recovery and Patient Safety
Safety starts with a full cardiological evaluation before the surgery begins. Most patients can leave the clinic the same day or the following morning. The recovery process includes the following steps:
- Weekly visits are required during the first month to monitor healing.
- Monthly check-ups continue until the swelling fully resolves.
- Return to work is usually possible within 2 weeks for most patients.
The clinic follows strict protocols to manage edema and track progress throughout the healing phase. If you are considering breast enhancement in Brazil, you can leave a request on Bookimed to receive more information.

Dr. Felipe Mazzillo Plastic Surgery Clinic: more details about the clinic
Medical Expertise and Accreditations
Dr. Felipe Mazzillo is a board-certified plastic surgeon. He holds credentials from the SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery) and the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons). 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.
