Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck in Dr. Felipe Mazzillo Plastic Surgery Clinic
About the clinic
The Fleur De Lis tummy tuck at Dr. Felipe Mazzillo Plastic Surgery Clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, addresses significant skin laxity through specialized vertical and horizontal incisions. This procedure is performed by Dr. Felipe Mazzillo, a board-certified plastic surgeon with international training from the Miller School of Medicine in Miami. While price varies by case, patients benefit from a surgeon who is a member of both the Brazilian and American Societies of Plastic Surgery.
Advanced Body Contouring Techniques
The Fleur De Lis variant of abdominoplasty is designed for patients with excess skin in both vertical and horizontal directions. Dr. Felipe Mazzillo removes skin from the lower abdomen and tightens the rectus abdominis muscles. This muscle repair helps create a flatter, firmer abdominal wall. To improve the final shape, Dr. Felipe Mazzillo often combines this surgery with liposuction of the flanks. Adding liposuction helps contour the waist for a more balanced silhouette.
Commitment to Patient Safety
The clinic follows a "Safety First" protocol for every surgical candidate. Before the operation, patients must undergo a full cardiological evaluation. Dr. Felipe Mazzillo also requires individual pre-operative exams to check overall health. These steps help lower risks and prepare the body for the procedure. The clinic is located in the Leblon neighborhood, offering a professional setting for international patients seeking care in Brazil.
Structured Recovery and Support
Recovery is a managed process at the clinic. Patients attend weekly follow-up visits during the first month after surgery. These frequent checks allow Dr. Felipe Mazzillo to monitor healing and address swelling quickly. After the first month, visits happen once a month until the swelling fully resolves. Dr. Felipe Mazzillo provides specific guidance on when to return to work and exercise based on how each person heals.

He also serves as a preceptor and professor for plastic surgery residents.

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.
