Sculpt your entire midsection with precision body contouring performed by a board certified surgeon in Tampa.
Choosing the right surgeon for your 360 liposuction procedure is one of the most important decisions you will make. At Formation, we believe that body contouring should be a catalyst for lasting transformation, not just a quick fix. Our approach sets us apart from other practices in the Tampa Bay area because we prioritize depth over volume, judgment over salesmanship, and long term outcomes over trends.
Dr. Gopal Grandhige is a board certified general surgeon with over 15 years of surgical experience and fellowship training in complex surgical disciplines. His extensive background in anatomy, physiology, wound healing, and metabolic health directly impacts surgical safety, recovery, and the durability of your results. This foundation allows him to approach circumferential liposuction with precision, risk awareness, and systems based thinking that goes far beyond surface level technique.
Formation is intentionally designed as a boutique practice with limited surgical volume. This means you receive personalized attention before, during, and after your procedure. We do not rush patients through a system. Instead, we educate, prepare, and support you at every step of your body sculpting journey. Our philosophy centers on helping you look the way you feel you should, with results that age well over time.
Patients who choose Formation are typically professionals, athletes, and individuals who are highly self aware. They want natural looking contours that hold up for years, not results that chase a trend or announce that surgery was performed. If you value thoughtful, intelligent care that respects both the art and biology of transformation, Formation is the right choice for your liposuction 360 procedure in Tampa.
The patient experience at Formation is intentionally designed to feel personal, thoughtful, and unhurried. From your first interaction to long after recovery, you are supported at every phase of your circumferential body contouring journey.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Grandhige takes time to understand what is bothering you, your lifestyle, training habits, health history, and what outcome would feel like success. This is not a rushed visit or a sales meeting. You leave with clarity and a customized surgical plan, even if surgery is not immediate.
Once your procedure is scheduled, you receive structured guidance to optimize your results. This includes clear preoperative instructions, education on recovery expectations, nutritional and protein guidance, compression planning, and recovery logistics. Preparation is treated as part of the procedure itself.
Your lipo 360 surgery is performed in a fully accredited Quad A certified surgical facility. These facilities meet the highest national standards for outpatient surgical safety. Dr. Grandhige personally performs every procedure with the same dedicated surgical team, board certified anesthesia professionals, and experienced operating room staff. The environment is calm, professional, and safety focused.
Recovery at Formation is hands on and guided. You receive scheduled follow up visits, clear recovery milestones, compression and mobility guidance, and support for swelling and inflammation management. We have personally vetted providers for lymphatic treatments, nutrition, and coaching who have track records of optimal outcomes. Most patients return to the gym within one to two weeks while wearing compression garments.
Formation patients consistently report life changing transformations that extend far beyond physical appearance. Our results speak to the power of combining surgical precision with a comprehensive approach to recovery and long term wellness.
A physically active male patient who is also a physician trained regularly and maintained a disciplined diet. He felt frustrated that his abdominal and flank definition never matched the effort he put in. After high definition liposculpture of the abdomen, back, chest, and flanks, his core looked athletic and proportional both at rest and during movement.
The change was subtle but powerful. He reported increased confidence in social settings, greater comfort in fitted clothing, and renewed motivation in training. Recently, he shared a photo from Halloween where he dressed as Superman. He expressed how happy he was to finally enjoy his body in all the sunny days Florida offers.
A professional in their 40s felt their neck and jawline made them look heavier and older than they felt. Despite being otherwise fit, this area never responded to diet or exercise. After targeted neck and jawline contouring at Formation, the patient experienced a sharper, more youthful profile that still looked completely natural.
Colleagues commented that they looked more rested and energized. The patient felt like their face finally matched the rest of their body. They smiled more often and started getting in pictures again.
A female patient who had completed pregnancies and maintained a stable weight struggled with loose abdominal skin and muscle separation. Exercise improved strength but not shape. After abdominoplasty with muscle repair and selective contouring, the patient reported improved posture, reduced back discomfort, and renewed confidence in clothing and movement.
Every time she comes to our office now, she is dressed up and shows off her transformation. Before, she wore loose fitted outfits. The surgery felt less like cosmetic enhancement and more like a physical reset that allowed her to fully engage in life again.
These stories share a common theme: intentional surgery matched to the right patient at the right time. At Formation, success is measured not just by before and after photos, but by how patients feel moving through their lives afterward.
Formation maintains a five star reputation built on trust, outcomes, and word of mouth credibility. Patients travel from across Florida and out of state specifically for Dr. Grandhige’s expertise in body contouring, liposuction, and male aesthetics.
“The results exceeded my expectations. Dr. Grandhige took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered natural looking definition that finally matches the effort I put in at the gym.”
Our practice is built on peer referrals from physicians who trust Dr. Grandhige’s judgment, long term patient relationships, and complex cases referred specifically for his experience and decision making. All surgeries are performed in Quad A accredited facilities with strict infection control, comprehensive emergency protocols, and continuous quality oversight.
You may recognize yourself in one or more of these scenarios. If so, lipo 360 at Formation may be the solution you have been searching for.

Facial Harmonization Step 2
It takes more than one treatment and often more than one treatment session to accomplish facial harmony and balance.
Here’s 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 we’ve started with Botox in the masseter to slim the jaw, and create a more feminine, heart shaped face. Now for step 2 we’re placing PDO lifting threads to enhance definition around the jawline without adding volume.

The power of a profile transformation. 🔥
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 didn’t just enhance one feature—we 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.

Formation is proudly located in the heart of South Tampa. Our clinic is housed in the iconic yellow brick building across from Fresh Kitchen on South Howard Avenue. This location in the vibrant SoHo district makes us easily accessible to patients throughout the Tampa Bay area and beyond.

Patients also travel to Formation from St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota, Brandon, Orlando, Miami, Naples, Atlanta, and throughout the Southeast. We help out of town patients recover in nearby hotels where we have established relationships and discounted rates. Dr. Grandhige even visits patients in their hotel rooms during early recovery so they do not have to come to the office immediately.
Tampa’s accessibility, warm climate, and wellness focused culture make it an ideal destination for combining surgery with a thoughtful recovery process. Whether you live near Armature Works in Tampa Heights or are flying in from another state, Formation was designed to serve patients who view body contouring as an intentional, well planned investment in themselves.
Beyond liposuction, Formation also offers complementary treatments including PDO thread lifts, Botox, and injectable fillers for patients seeking nonsurgical facial rejuvenation options.
Lipo 360, also called circumferential liposuction, removes unwanted fat from your entire midsection in a single procedure. This includes the upper and lower abdomen, obliques, flanks, and mid to lower back. By treating the torso as a complete unit rather than isolated areas, this approach creates balanced, proportional results. It also avoids the uneven transition zones that can occur when treating regions separately.
Ideal candidates are at or near their goal weight, in good overall health, and have stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Good skin elasticity helps ensure smooth results. This is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution. During your consultation, Dr. Grandhige will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals honestly, and determine whether this procedure is right for you.
Most patients return to light daily activities within the first week. You can resume gym workouts within one to two weeks while wearing compression garments. Swelling steadily improves over weeks two through four with lymphatic treatments supporting healing. Visible definition becomes more apparent at six to twelve weeks, with final contour maturing over three to six months.
You can expect improved muscle visibility, sharper contours, and a more athletic appearance that looks natural at rest and in motion. The fat cells removed do not return. Results are considered permanent provided you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Weight gain can affect remaining fat cells, which is why education and long term habits matter.
Liposuction removes unwanted fat deposits, while a tummy tuck removes excess sagging skin and can repair separated abdominal muscles. Circumferential liposuction is ideal for patients with good skin elasticity who want fat reduction and contouring. Patients with significant loose skin may benefit from combining both procedures. Dr. Grandhige will recommend the best approach during your consultation.
