Liposculpture di Sampaio Plastic Surgery

Sampaio Plastic Surgery is a private clinic in Recife's Pina neighborhood, Brazil. Dr. Raphael Sampaio leads the practice, combining surgical procedures with aesthetic treatments to improve patient well-being.

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.
