Precision jawline contouring and facial fat removal by board-certified surgeon Dr. Gopal Grandhige. Subtle definition. Lasting results.
Formation provides a focused range of facial sculpting procedures designed to remove stubborn fat, sharpen the jawline, and restore natural definition to the lower face. Every treatment plan is built around your anatomy, skin quality, and long-term goals. Whether you are looking to reduce a double chin, define the jaw, or refine the transition from cheek to neck, Dr. Grandhige tailors each procedure with restraint and precision. As the American Society of Plastic Surgeons notes, liposuction remains one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the country, and the face and neck are among the most rewarding areas to treat.
This approach is especially important for patients exploring men’s aesthetic surgery in Tampa, where even small missteps can create a feminized or over-operated appearance. That said, these procedures serve patients of all genders who want clean, proportional results that hold up over time.
Targeted removal of submental fat through discreet incisions under the chin and behind the ears. Ideal for eliminating a double chin and restoring a sharper cervical angle.
Strategic sculpting along the mandible to create angular definition. Often combined with Renuvion or FaceTite skin tightening for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity.
Selective fat removal from the lower cheek and jowl area to restore a defined facial contour. Designed to complement the jawline rather than create a hollow appearance.
Results at Formation are not measured by dramatic shock value. They are measured by how naturally the change integrates into a patient’s daily life. The following stories reflect the kinds of transformations commonly seen at our Tampa practice. Research published in the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery confirms that patient satisfaction with facial liposuction is closely tied to conservative technique and appropriate candidate selection, both of which are central to how Dr. Grandhige operates.
People tell me I look more rested and fit. Nobody suspects I had anything done. That is exactly what I wanted.”
Male patient, age 40s. Neck liposuction with jawline contouring at Formation.
A professional in his 40s came in frustrated that his neck and jawline made him appear heavier and older than he felt. Despite being otherwise fit, this area never responded to weight loss. He mentioned he had always carried fullness there. After targeted neck liposuction with precise jawline contouring, he experienced a sharper, more youthful profile that still looked completely natural. Colleagues commented that he looked more energized. He told our team that he felt like his face finally matched the rest of his body.
This type of outcome is typical at Formation: subtle yet powerful. The goal is for people to notice you, not the surgery. Dr. Grandhige’s conservative, anatomy-driven technique consistently delivers results that look intentional rather than artificial. Visit our before and after gallery for more patient stories.

Dr. Gopal Grandhige is a board-certified general surgeon with an MD from the University of Michigan Medical School. He initially matched into a combined plastic surgery residency at Yale University School of Medicine before completing a full general surgery residency and advanced fellowship training in burn surgery, critical care, and minimally invasive metabolic and foregut surgery. That breadth of surgical training is uncommon in aesthetic medicine, and it directly informs the safety, precision, and judgment he brings to every facial contouring procedure at Formation.
Formation is a boutique surgical practice, not a high-volume clinic. Guided by our care philosophy, Dr. Grandhige intentionally limits his caseload so that every patient receives thorough evaluation, personalized surgical planning, and hands-on follow-up from consultation through final recovery. He personally designs every treatment plan and performs every procedure.
Most suboptimal results in facial liposuction happen after surgery, not during it. That is why recovery at Formation is actively managed. Patients receive structured guidance around compression, inflammation control, lymphatic treatments, protein intake, and phased return to activity. A systematic review in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal highlights that post-operative protocols, including compression and early mobilization, are critical determinants of long-term contouring outcomes. Dr. Grandhige follows every patient for a full year, and his vetted team of post-operative providers has been personally selected based on proven outcomes.
While Formation serves patients of all genders, the practice is especially known for male aesthetic surgery. Contouring the male jawline requires a distinct artistic approach. Masculine proportions, angular transitions, and the avoidance of over-resection are all critical. Dr. Grandhige understands these differences and designs each result to look strong, balanced, and natural. For patients interested in complementary treatments, Formation also offers Botox for men and PDO thread lifts to address dynamic wrinkles and mild skin laxity in areas that liposuction alone may not reach.
Patients considering chin and neck contouring often share similar frustrations. As Harvard Health explains, certain fat deposits are genetically stubborn and resist even the most disciplined diet and exercise regimens, and the submental area is no exception. If any of the following situations sound familiar, you may be a strong candidate for facial liposuction at Formation in Tampa.

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 located at 1315 South Howard Avenue in the SoHo district of Tampa, just minutes from Bayshore Boulevard and Hyde Park Village. Patients regularly visit from South Tampa, Davis Islands, Westchase, Carrollwood, and the St. Petersburg and Clearwater areas.
Because of Dr. Grandhige’s reputation for HD liposuction for men, jawline sculpting, and cheek and neck liposuction in Tampa, FL, patients also travel from Miami, Orlando, Sarasota, Naples, and cities across the Southeast. For out-of-town patients, the practice assists with nearby hotel accommodations at discounted rates, and Dr. Grandhige visits patients at their hotel during the early recovery window. One common patient question is whether fat can return after liposuction. The fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate, which is why maintaining a stable weight protects your results for years to come. You can explore more recovery insights and patient education on the Formation blog.
Tampa’s iconic waterfront is just steps from our SoHo location. Many patients combine their visit with a walk along the world’s longest continuous sidewalk.
Our office sits in Tampa’s most walkable neighborhood, surrounded by dining, shopping, and a community that values health, wellness, and looking your best.
Most patients return to work and social activities within one week. A chin compression garment is worn for two to four weeks. Swelling steadily improves over the first month, with skin tightening continuing to refine through six to nine months. Dr. Grandhige provides a structured recovery plan with clear milestones at every stage.
Ideal candidates are generally between their mid-20s and mid-50s, at or near a stable weight, and bothered by excess fat beneath the chin, along the jawline, or in the lower cheek area. Reasonable skin elasticity is important for a smooth result. During your consultation, Dr. Grandhige evaluates your anatomy, skin quality, and goals to determine whether neck liposuction alone or a combination with skin tightening is the right approach.
Fat cells removed through liposuction do not return, making results long-lasting. Natural aging continues, but removing excess fat in this area can reset the clock and slow the appearance of future laxity. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve your outcome for years.
Yes. Dr. Grandhige frequently pairs neck liposuction with Renuvion or FaceTite radiofrequency skin tightening. These technologies contract the skin over the newly contoured jawline, delivering a tighter, more sculpted profile, particularly for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity.
Neck liposuction removes excess fat to define the jawline and cervical angle. A neck lift addresses significant skin laxity and muscle banding through more extensive incisions. Many patients achieve excellent results with liposuction and skin tightening alone, avoiding the longer recovery of a traditional neck lift. Dr. Grandhige will recommend the right approach based on your anatomy during consultation.
If you are considering cheek and neck liposuction in Tampa, FL, Formation is designed for patients who want precision, honesty, and results that last. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Gopal Grandhige today.
