Customized Surgical Techniques
Dr. Raphael Sampaio tailors each surgery to the specific type of gynecomastia the patient has. This personalized method helps achieve natural-looking results. The treatment plan depends on which tissue is causing the enlargement:
- True Gynecomastia: This involves excess glandular tissue, which the surgeon removes through a small incision near the areola.
- False Gynecomastia: This is caused by excess fatty tissue and is treated using liposuction to contour the chest.
- Mixed Type: Many patients have both fat and glandular tissue, requiring a combination of liposuction and surgical excision.
Expertise of Dr. Raphael Sampaio
Dr. Raphael Sampaio leads the surgical team with a background in advanced aesthetic techniques. He completed his residency under Dr. Luiz Alberto Souza Leita, who was a disciple of the world-famous surgeon Ivo Pitanguy. With over 20 years of practice, Dr. Sampaio has refined his approach to minimize scarring and speed up the healing process. He has performed 1,000+ body contouring procedures throughout his career.
Outpatient Recovery and Safety
The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you do not need to stay in the hospital overnight. This allows for a faster return to daily activities and a more comfortable recovery at home or in a hotel. The clinic follows safety standards set by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). These protocols help manage risks and support healthy healing. Patients usually notice an immediate change in chest shape, with final results appearing once the swelling goes down.

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.
