Brazilian Butt Lift in Sampaio Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) at Sampaio Plastic Surgery in Recife, Brazil, offers patients a way to reshape the glutes using fat transfer or implants. The clinic is led by Dr. Raphael Sampaio, who is certified by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and has performed 1,600+ procedures. Patients choose this facility for its adherence to international safety standards, backed by TEMOS accreditation.
BBL Methods and Techniques
The clinic provides two primary ways to enhance the buttocks. The most common method is fat transfer, also known as lipoenxertia. During this process, Dr. Raphael Sampaio harvests fat from the patient's abdomen through liposuction. This fat is purified and then injected into the glutes to create a natural contour. This technique helps slim the midsection while adding volume to the rear. For patients who do not have enough donor fat, the clinic offers silicone implants to achieve the desired volume.
Pre-Operative Safety Protocols
Safety is a major focus at Sampaio Plastic Surgery. Before the surgery, every patient must complete a set of health checks. These requirements include complete blood tests and an electrocardiogram. Patients must also receive cardiac clearance to move forward. For those with diabetes, the clinic requires blood glucose levels to stay below 150 mg/dL. These steps help the surgical team manage risks before the procedure starts.
Recovery and Aftercare
After the surgery, patients follow a specific recovery plan. Wearing compression garments is necessary to help reduce swelling in the areas where liposuction occurred. Patients are advised to avoid putting direct pressure on their glutes for a set period. Dr. Raphael Sampaio and his team provide follow-up instructions to help the healing process stay on track. Following these guidelines helps maintain the new shape of the buttocks during the initial weeks of recovery.

Sampaio Plastic Surgery: more details about the clinic
Clinical Experience and Accreditations
Dr. Raphael Sampaio has around 20 years of experience in plastic surgery. He has operated on more than 1,200 patients and performed over 1,600 surgeries. The clinic holds two certifications:
- TEMOS accreditation for international patient care quality.
- SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery) certification.
Body Contouring and Breast Surgery
The clinic focuses on body reshaping through several surgical methods. Specialists perform Vibrolipo, which uses a high-performance motor and cannulas. This removes fat more efficiently than traditional liposuction. The technology helps surgeons reach challenging areas and cuts total surgery time.
Body contouring procedures include:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess abdominal skin.
- Liposculpture for localized fat reduction.
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) using fat transfer or implants.
- Brachioplasty (arm lift).
Breast surgeries address volume, proportion, and symmetry. Dr. Sampaio performs mastopexy, which repositions the breasts to a more youthful height. Patients may choose mastopexy alone or combine the lift with silicone augmentation. Breast reduction and reconstruction are also available.
Facial Aesthetics and Non-Surgical Treatments
Facial rejuvenation options include surgical lifting and targeted non-invasive treatments. The clinic performs Ritidoplastia (facelift) and deep plane facelifts to address skin laxity in the face and neck. Surgeons often use videoendoscopy during these procedures, which speeds up recovery.
Other facial procedures include:
- Rhinoplasty using structured or preservation techniques.
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to correct sagging or puffiness.
- Otoplasty for ear reshaping.
- Buccal fat extraction to slim the cheeks.
For patients seeking non-surgical results, the clinic offers biostimulators like Radiesse and Sculptra. These substances gradually stimulate collagen production to improve skin tone. Specialists also use botulinum toxin (BOTOX) to relax muscles and smooth lines around the forehead and eyes.
Safety Protocols and Diagnostic Support
The clinic follows a structured pre-operative protocol. Every patient receives a list of required exams tailored to their procedure. Standard diagnostic requirements typically include:
- Complete blood tests and urine analysis.
- Electrocardiogram and cardiac clearance.
- Imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans when needed.
Surgical candidates with diabetes must keep blood glucose under 150 mg/dl before the procedure. After surgery, patients receive guidance on compression garments – such as modeling bras or bandages – to reduce swelling and prevent fluid buildup.

Sampaio Plastic Surgery is located within the Boa Viagem Medical Center. This facility provides a secure environment for international patients visiting Recife. The building includes parking with 24-hour security and a professional valet service.
