Mammoplasty in Dr. Felipe Mazzillo Plastic Surgery Clinic
About the clinic
Mammoplasty at Dr. Felipe Mazzillo Plastic Surgery Clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, offers personalized breast enhancement using advanced safety protocols. Led by a surgeon certified by both the SBCP and ASPS, the clinic focuses on natural results and smooth recovery. Patients receive structured care in the Leblon district, including specialized scar management and weekly follow-up visits during the first month.
Expertise of Dr. Felipe Mazzillo
Dr. Felipe Mazzillo is a plastic surgeon with extensive training from the prestigious Pitanguy Institute and the Miller School of Medicine. He serves as a Professor of Plastic Surgery at the Instituto Carlos Chagas. As a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), Dr. Felipe Mazzillo follows international standards for aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. He performs breast augmentations with silicone implants and mastopexy to lift and reshape the breasts.
Surgical Approach and Techniques
The clinic uses specific methods to make the recovery process easier for the patient. The surgery typically lasts between 2 and 4 hours. Key technical features include:
- Subglandular placement: The implant goes above the pectoral muscle. This method causes less pain and allows for a faster return to daily activities.
- Submammary incision: The surgeon makes the cut in the fold beneath the breast. This hides the scar and avoids damage to the milk ducts.
- Silicone implants: Patients choose the volume, shape, and texture of the implants during their consultation.
- Photobiomodulation: The clinic uses laser and LED therapy after surgery. This helps modulate scars and speeds up the healing process.
Safety and Recovery Process
Safety is a priority, so every patient undergoes a full cardiological evaluation before the procedure. Most patients stay in the hospital for 24 hours, though some may leave the same day. You will need to rest at home for about one week. A special support bra is necessary during the initial healing phase. While you should avoid heavy exercise for 4 to 6 weeks, the final results usually appear within 3 to 6 months.
Care for International Patients
The clinic provides a structured environment for those traveling to Rio de Janeiro. Beyond the surgery, the team schedules regular check-ups to monitor swelling and progress. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss your goals with Dr. Felipe Mazzillo.

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.
