Trust in Our Expertise
Formation was founded by Dr. Gopal Grandhige as a sanctuary where his passion for enhancing both external appearance and internal well-being is holistically embraced. Dr. Grandhige believes that the journey to looking your best, feeling your best, living longer, and staying true to yourself is a unified path. These goals do not conflict but instead complement one another, forming a cohesive journey toward personal fulfillmentโfulfillment in what you have, what you do, and who you are.
Dr. Grandhigeโs mission is to create a life-changing, enduring experience for his patients. To achieve this, he has merged his board-certified surgical expertise with a dedicated team of coaches, nutritionists, fitness specialists, medical professionals, and his trusted colleague and friend, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ahmad Saad, to deliver innovative, all-encompassing results.
High Definition Liposculpture
High-definition liposuction represents the pinnacle of Formationโs expertise. By meticulously removing localized fat deposits in specific areas, Dr. Grandhige unveils the natural contours of our patientsโ bodies, emphasizing their underlying musculature. This precision approach helps patients achieve the sculpted, toned look they have always envisioned.
Our high-definition liposuction technique enhances each individualโs natural beauty and anatomical structure, allowing themโand othersโto fully appreciate their true form.
Premier Aesthetic Surgery Center in Tampa
Located in the iconic yellow brick building directly across from Fresh Kitchen on South Howard Avenue, at the heart of South Tampa, Formation is proud to be the first and only clinic in Tampa offering the full suite of FDA-approved endoscopic (incision-free) weight loss procedures. Weโve also mastered the art of high-definition liposuction, making us a trusted destination for those seeking transformative results. Based in Tampa, we are delighted to serve clients from all over the city, including individuals looking for an experienced and reliable plastic surgeon in Palma Ceia and other nearby communities.
Our space, meticulously designed by local Tampa artisans, feels less like a clinic and more like the living room of your dreams. We invite you to settle in, relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy meaningful conversations with our friendly team. Weโre here to understand your unique storyโwhere you are now and where you envision yourself in the future.
Incision-Less Weight
Loss Surgery
Embarking on a journey toward health, beauty, and wellness often calls for effective solutions to support weight loss. Endoscopic and non-surgical procedures can provide an excellent way to kickstart this process. At Formation, we offer a wide range of both surgical and non-surgical weight loss options tailored to meet each patientโs unique needs. For individuals seeking life-changing results under the expertise of a skilled plastic surgeon in Palma Ceia, we provide outstanding care and personalized support at every stage of the journey.
We take pride in being the only facility in the Tampa Bay area to offer three groundbreaking, FDA-approved endoscopic bariatric procedures designed for effective weight loss: endoplastic sleeve gastroplasty, Orbera, and the Spatz3 intragastric balloon. Dr. Grandhige is the sole physician in Tampa who performs the Spatz3 balloon procedure, featuring the worldโs first and only adjustable gastric balloon. This innovative device can remain in place for up to 8 months and is adjustable to increase or decrease its size as needed.
These advanced procedures are minimally invasive, completely incision-free, and performed in an outpatient setting, providing patients with a safe and convenient alternative to more extensive weight loss surgeries.
Take The Next Step
A PDO thread lift is a good answer for the right jawline and neck, and the wrong one for a face that needs more. The way to know which you are is a straight assessment from a surgeon who’ll tell you either way. If you’re in Harvey Heights or anywhere in north Tampa and want a clear read on your candidacy, book a consultation with Gopal Grandhige, MD at Formation. You’ll leave knowing exactly where you stand, whether that means scheduling a treatment or holding off for now.
Month Post-Op Transformation! ๐ฅ
Fixing previous surgical outcomes requires precision, expertise, and a tailored approach.
Hereโs how Dr. Grandhige transformed this patientโs core and chest:
The Challenge:
Previous tummy tuck left uneven abdominal fat distribution
High scar placement creating a visible โshelfโ effect
The Solution:
HD Liposculpture to refine and sculpt a athletic, masculine core and chest
Scar Revision to eliminate the shelf-like appearance and create a smoother profile
Keep in mind, at just 1 month post-op, swelling is still settling and we are nowhere near final results! Canโt wait to see this shape mature over the next few months. ๐ฅ

This beautiful tummy tuck transformation is only 1 month post-op!
What makes this journey even more special is where it began. Two years ago, this patient came to us wanting change but wasnโt quite ready for the operating table. Instead of rushing, we partnered with her for the long haul. Through the strategic use of GLP-1 therapy, dedicated nutrition guidance, and mindset coaching, she completely transformed her health to get to where she is today.
While she is already looking incredible, itโs important to remember that residual swelling and inflammation are completely normal at this stage. Healing takes time, but the foundation for an amazing result is officially set!
We are so incredibly honored to be a part of every patient`s unique journey, and we are committed to being with you every single step of the way.
Drop a โค๏ธ to wish her a continued smooth recovery!
