Gynecomastia Vaser Liposuction in Sampaio Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Gynecomastia Vaser Liposuction at Sampaio Plastic Surgery in Recife, Brazil, addresses excess male breast tissue through personalized surgical techniques. Dr. Raphael Sampaio performs this procedure using Vibrolipo technology to reduce recovery time and physical trauma. The clinic holds international TEMOS accreditation and follows the high standards of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).
Treatment Methods and Technology
The surgical approach depends on the specific type of gynecomastia. Dr. Raphael Sampaio identifies whether the issue is caused by excess fat, glandular tissue, or both. The medical team uses specific methods for each case:
- Liposuction only for false gynecomastia caused by localized fat deposits.
- Glandular removal via an incision near the areola for true hypertrophy of the mammary gland.
- Combined approach for mixed cases, removing both fat and firm tissue.
The clinic uses Vibrolipo, a power-assisted liposuction technology. This system uses a vibrating cannula to break down fat cells gently. This method causes less bleeding and fewer bruises than traditional tools. Patients often experience less pain after surgery and return to their routines faster.
Expertise of Dr. Raphael Sampaio
Dr. Raphael Sampaio leads the clinic with over 20 years of experience in plastic surgery. He trained under Dr. Luiz Alberto Souza Leitao, who was a student of the famous Ivo Pitanguy. Dr. Raphael Sampaio has performed over 1,600 surgeries throughout his career. His expertise helps achieve natural contours for the male chest while minimizing visible scarring.
Safety and Recovery
Gynecomastia surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure. This means patients do not need to stay in the hospital overnight. Before the operation, patients must complete blood tests and an electrocardiogram. Patients with diabetes must maintain blood glucose levels below 150 mg/dl to qualify for surgery.
After the procedure, the medical team provides compression garments. These bandages help reduce swelling and prevent fluid from building up under the skin. The clinic is located in the Boa Viagem Medical Center, which offers secure parking and a professional medical environment.

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.
International Patient Facilities
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.
