At Formation, we have built our reputation on delivering natural looking outcomes through precision, restraint, and genuine care.
Patients choose us because we approach every procedure differently. We do not believe in a one size fits all solution. Instead, Dr. Gopal Grandhige takes time to understand your unique anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals before recommending any treatment plan. This thoughtful approach has made Formation a trusted destination for men and women throughout Tampa Bay and beyond.
Our boutique practice intentionally limits surgical volume so that every patient receives personalized attention before, during, and after their procedure. We believe that exceptional results come from deep involvement in your care, not from rushing through a crowded surgical schedule.
Whether you are looking to refine your lower body contours, eliminate love handles that extend to the buttock region, or create a more athletic silhouette, our team is here to guide you through every step of your transformation.
Meet Dr. Gopal Grandhige: Your Board Certified Surgeon
Dr. Gopal Grandhige brings over 15 years of surgical experience and thousands of procedures to every consultation at Formation. He is a board certified general surgeon with fellowship training that spans some of the most demanding surgical environments, including burn surgery, critical care, and minimally invasive procedures.
His training pathway at the University of Michigan Medical School and Yale University School of Medicine provided a foundation in anatomy, physiology, and systems based thinking that directly impacts every body contouring procedure he performs today. This depth of surgical knowledge means Dr. Grandhige understands not just how to sculpt your body, but how your body heals, responds to stress, and maintains results over time.
What sets Dr. Grandhige apart is his commitment to precision over volume. He personally evaluates every patient, designs each surgical plan, and remains deeply involved throughout your recovery. His approach focuses on creating natural definition that looks balanced at rest and in motion, not extreme results that announce surgery was performed.
Formation serves patients from South Tampa, Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Westchase, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and throughout Florida. Many patients travel from Miami, Orlando, and Atlanta specifically for Dr. Grandhige’s expertise in athletic body contouring and male aesthetics.
What Is Buttock Liposuction and How Does It Work?
Buttock liposuction is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from the buttock region and surrounding areas. This treatment targets the upper outer buttocks, lower back, flanks, and the junction where the buttock meets the thigh to create a smoother, more proportionate silhouette.
At Formation, we use advanced power assisted liposuction (PAL) techniques combined with high definition liposculpture methods to achieve superior results. Unlike traditional approaches, our techniques allow for precise fat removal while promoting skin contraction and minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
How the Procedure Works
The process begins with the injection of a tumescent solution containing local anesthetic and a vasoconstrictor. This solution numbs the treatment area, reduces bleeding, and makes fat cells easier to remove. Through small, strategically placed incisions, Dr. Grandhige inserts a thin cannula that gently breaks up and suctions out unwanted fat.
Patients may choose awake liposuction under local anesthesia or general anesthesia depending on the extent of treatment and personal preference. Awake liposuction offers several advantages, including the ability to provide real time feedback during the procedure, faster recovery, and reduced anesthesia related risks.
The procedure typically takes between two to four hours depending on the areas treated. Most patients return home the same day with compression garments in place to support healing and optimize their results.
Transform Your Confidence: Real Results, Real Patients
Surgery at Formation is not about dramatic change for its own sake. It is about alignment, helping you look the way you feel you should, move through the world with confidence, and maintain results that age well over time and have good skin elasticity.
Our patients consistently report increased confidence in social settings, greater comfort in fitted clothing, and renewed motivation to maintain their healthy lifestyle. The most successful outcomes are the ones people cannot quite identify. They just see balance, presence, and a more refined silhouette.
We invite you to view our before and after gallery during your private consultation to see real patient transformations and understand what results may be possible for your unique body type. Many patients also explore complementary procedures such as injectable treatments or PDO thread lifts to enhance their overall results.
Ten Common Situations That Lead Patients to Consider Buttock Liposuction
- You have maintained a healthy diet and regular exercise routine but cannot seem to eliminate fat pockets around your buttocks and lower back
- You feel self conscious about how your clothing fits around your hips and lower body

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Butt Liposuction
Butt liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution. The best candidates are already close to their goal weight but struggle with stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. Liposuction removes fat cells permanently from treated areas, helping create a more proportionate and sculpted appearance.
Most patients return to light daily activities within a few days and can resume work within one to two weeks depending on the nature of their job. Compression garments are worn continuously for several weeks to support healing and optimize results. Patients typically return to exercise within two to four weeks, with final results becoming visible over three to six months as swelling resolves.
Natural looking results are a cornerstone of Dr. Grandhige's approach at Formation. His technique emphasizes precision and restraint, avoiding over removal that can lead to irregularities or an obviously surgical appearance. The goal is to reveal your natural contours, not create an artificial shape.
Yes. Many patients combine butt liposuction with treatment of surrounding areas such as the flanks, lower back, and thighs for a more comprehensive transformation. This circumferential approach, often called Lipo360, creates balanced proportions throughout the midsection and lower body. Fat removed during liposuction can also be transferred to other areas for enhanced contouring.
Good candidates for buttock liposuction are in overall good health, at or near their goal weight, have good skin elasticity, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. During your consultation, Dr. Grandhige will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and honestly advise whether liposuction or an alternative approach will best help you achieve your desired results.
