Procedure and Recovery
The surgery is designed for patient comfort and a smooth transition back to daily life. Most patients only spend 24 hours in the hospital following the procedure. The surgical technique typically removes the need for drains, which makes the early recovery period easier. Key recovery milestones include:
- Suture removal occurs about 2 to 3 weeks after the surgery.
- Return to work is usually possible within 2 to 3 weeks.
- Post-operative visits happen weekly during the first month to monitor healing.
- Follow-up care continues monthly until the swelling, or edema, fully resolves.
Safety and Support
Patient safety is the top priority for Dr. Felipe Mazzillo. Every patient undergoes a full cardiological evaluation before the operation begins. This thorough check helps manage risks and prepares the body for surgery. The clinic staff is bilingual, providing support in English and French. This helps international patients understand every step of their treatment plan without confusion. The medical team focuses on providing a pain-free experience during the initial healing phase.

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.
