Transform your silhouette with Tampa’s most trusted surgeons, just minutes from your Westshore home.
Modern tummy tuck surgery for women in Westshore, FL has evolved dramatically from traditional techniques. At Formation, we leverage cutting edge technology and surgical innovations to deliver superior outcomes with enhanced safety and comfort. Understanding the science behind your procedure helps you appreciate why our results consistently exceed expectations.
This represents the most standard type of abdominoplasty, incorporating an incision that runs from hipbone to hipbone just beneath the underwear line. Dr. Grandhige strengthens the abdominal muscles and removes extra skin through the extended incision to develop a sleeker, tighter abdomen. During the procedure, liposuction may be conducted to enhance the definition and sculpting of the abdomen. Throughout this surgery, the navel is generally repositioned to accomplish a more authentic-appearing outcome.
This less comprehensive surgery, which is also known as a limited incision abdominoplasty, may be suggested to patients who only need correction beneath the navel. However, the outcomes of this procedure will not generate the significant enhancement that can be accomplished with a standard procedure. The incision that is created for a mini abdominoplasty is placed in the same location as the one created for a standard abdominoplasty, below the bikini line; however, it is considerably shorter than the one created for the traditional procedure. In most situations, the navel does not need repositioning for this treatment to be effective.
An extended tummy tuck is usually recommended for patients who have undergone substantial weight reduction (either through bariatric surgery or other methods) that’s resulted in them having a significant amount of surplus skin. In this approach, a vertical incision is created across the center of the patient’s torso, in addition to the conventional horizontal incision made during a full tummy tuck. To accomplish horizontal firmness and a sleeker finish, this additional incision provides the surgeon the capability to eliminate more excess skin than was previously achievable. Adjusting the position of the belly button is typically required to accomplish the most natural-appearing result.
Tummy tuck costs vary based on the extent of surgery needed, additional procedures performed, and individual patient factors. During your consultation, Dr. Grandhige provides transparent pricing information and discusses financing options to make your transformation achievable within your budget.
A mini tummy tuck addresses the lower abdomen with a smaller incision, while full abdominoplasty treats the entire abdominal area and typically includes muscle repair. Dr. Grandhige evaluates your anatomy during consultation to recommend the most appropriate procedure for your goals.
Abdominoplasty results are long-lasting when combined with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Dr. Grandhige's surgical techniques create permanent improvements to muscle tone and skin tightness, and our integrated wellness approach helps you maintain your results for years to come.
Yes, abdominoplasty is an excellent option for addressing post-pregnancy changes including separated abdominal muscles and excess skin. We typically recommend waiting until you've completed your family and have maintained a stable weight for several months before considering surgery.
Dr. Grandhige combines advanced surgical techniques with a comprehensive wellness approach that includes nutritional guidance, fitness coaching, and ongoing support. This integrated methodology ensures not just excellent surgical results, but long-term success in maintaining your transformation.

Facial Harmonization Step 2
It takes more than one treatment and often more than one treatment session to accomplish facial harmony and balance.
Hereโs a look at step 2 in the journey for our surgical coordinator Hanna.
She wanted to address asymmetry and fullness in the lower face. To accomplish this weโve started with Botox in the masseter to slim the jaw, and create a more feminine, heart shaped face. Now for step 2 weโre placing PDO lifting threads to enhance definition around the jawline without adding volume.

The power of a profile transformation. ๐ฅ
For this patient, we combined PDO Lifting Threads and advanced chin/jawline filler to completely redefine his lower face. By strategically lifting the mid-to-lower face and sculpting the jaw, we didnโt just enhance one featureโwe elevated his entire facial appearance.
An incredible, natural-looking result that brings balance and confidence from every angle.
Note: Minor bunching or puckering is completely normal immediately following a PDO thread lift. The slight bunching visible in the after photo will fully subside on its own over the next 2-4 weeks as the threads settle.
