Full Body Plastic Surgery In Tampa, FL
Precision body contouring, HD liposuction, and athletic sculpting designed around your anatomy. Fewer patients. Deeper care. Results that last years, not months.
A Different Standard for Body Contouring in Tampa
Most cosmetic surgery practices optimize for volume and speed. Formation was built around something else entirely: depth, precision, and outcomes that hold up over time.
Dr. Gopal Grandhige is a board-certified general surgeon who earned his medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School and initially trained in plastic surgery at Yale University School of Medicine. His career continued through a complete general surgery residency, followed by advanced fellowship training in burn surgery, critical care, and minimally invasive metabolic surgery. That combination is rare in aesthetic practice, and it directly shapes every surgical decision at Formation.
This is not a high volume clinic. Dr. Grandhige personally evaluates every patient, designs each surgical plan, and remains involved from consultation through your final follow up appointment, which extends for a full year after surgery. Patients who choose Formation are not looking for the loudest marketing. They want a surgeon whose approach to patient care prioritizes safety, restraint, and long term results over trends.
Surgical Depth, Not Just Technique
Training across critical care, burn surgery, and complex abdominal procedures means Dr. Grandhige understands anatomy, tissue healing, and risk management at a level that goes far beyond surface cosmetic work. Every procedure reflects that foundation.
Intentionally Limited Volume
Formation operates on fewer patients so each person receives full attention before, during, and after surgery. This approach allows for better planning, tighter execution, and consistently stronger outcomes for both men and women.
Recovery Is a Clinical Phase
Post operative care at Formation is actively managed with structured guidance on compression, lymphatic treatments, inflammation control, protein intake, and phased return to activity. Recovery is 40% of the result, and it is never left to chance.
Quad A Accredited Facilities
All surgeries are performed in fully Quad A accredited surgical centers with board-certified anesthesia professionals, experienced OR nurses, and Dr. Grandhige’s personally employed physician assistant assisting on every case.

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.

Full Body Plastic Surgery Services at Formation
Formation specializes in surgical body contouring and aesthetic procedures where precision makes the greatest difference in outcomes. Every procedure is customized around your skeletal structure, fat distribution, skin elasticity, and personal goals.
While Formation serves patients of all backgrounds, the practice is especially known for men’s aesthetic surgery and athletic sculpting. Male aesthetics require a completely different surgical eye. Chest contouring, abdominal shaping, and flank reduction must work in harmony to maintain masculine proportion and balance. Dr. Grandhige is recognized for delivering clean, natural definition without the over-etched or artificial results that plague many male cosmetic procedures. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons notes that body contouring outcomes depend heavily on surgeon experience and anatomical judgment, both of which define how Formation approaches every case.
Women also benefit from Formation’s precision approach, particularly in circumferential torso sculpting and abdominal restoration after pregnancy or weight changes.
High Definition Liposuction
Selective fat removal designed to reveal natural muscle definition. Ideal for patients who are active and fit but frustrated by stubborn areas that resist diet and exercise. HD lipo sculpts rather than simply reduces.
Lipo 360 (Circumferential Contouring)
Comprehensive torso sculpting that addresses the abdomen, flanks, and back in a single procedure. Creates a balanced, proportional silhouette from every angle, not just the front view.
Male Body Contouring
Specialized contouring for men, including chest sculpting, abdominal etching, and athletic definition. This requires distinct technique to maintain masculine structure and avoid a feminized or over-operated appearance.
Gynecomastia Surgery
Precise correction of excess male chest tissue to restore a flat, masculine chest contour. Dr. Grandhige avoids saucer deformities and over-resection, combining gland removal with strategic liposuction when needed.
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Removal of excess skin, repair of separated abdominal muscles, and reshaping of the midsection. Restores both form and function, improving posture, core strength, and overall comfort.
Neck and Jawline Contouring
Targeted fat removal beneath the chin and along the jaw, combined with FDA cleared technologies like Renuvion or FaceTite for skin tightening. Creates a sharper, more defined profile without aggressive surgery. Patients seeking a non-invasive jawline contouring option can also explore targeted treatments at Formation.
Arm, Thigh, and Back Contouring
Precision liposuction for areas that resist training, including the upper arms, inner and outer thighs, bra line, and lower back. Designed to complement the overall body contour.
Fat Grafting for Contour Refinement
Strategic fat transfer to enhance specific areas such as the deltoids or pecs, adding real volume where muscle is difficult to build. Often combined with HD liposuction for a comprehensive sculpted result.
Formation also offers complementary non-surgical treatments to support and extend surgical results, including PDO thread lifts for skin tightening and Botox for targeted facial refinement.

- You want surgical results that look natural and athletic, not overdone or obvious to others.
- You tried another surgeon or provider and were disappointed by the experience or outcome.
- You are a professional who needs a clear recovery plan with realistic timelines so you can schedule confidently.

Serving Tampa Bay and Beyond
Formation is located at 1315 South Howard Avenue in South Tampa, housed in the iconic yellow brick building across from Fresh Kitchen. The office was designed by local Tampa craftsmen to feel welcoming and comfortable rather than clinical. Patients describe the atmosphere as warm, energetic, and nothing like a typical medical office.
The practice draws patients from neighborhoods throughout Tampa Bay, including Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Westchase, Carrollwood, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater. Patients also travel from Miami, Orlando, Naples, Sarasota, and Atlanta specifically for Dr. Grandhige’s expertise in HD liposuction, male body sculpting, and jawline refinement.
For out of town patients, Formation coordinates recovery support including hotel partnerships with discounted rates near South Howard Avenue and Bayshore Boulevard. Dr. Grandhige personally visits travel patients at their hotel during early recovery so they do not need to come into the office immediately after their procedure.
Formation also supports the local Tampa community through partnerships with Equality Florida, Feeding Tampa Bay, and Meacham Urban Farm, reflecting a commitment to health and dignity beyond the clinic walls.
Questions About Full Body Plastic Surgery in Tampa
Full body plastic surgery refers to a combination of contouring procedures tailored to multiple areas of the body. At Formation, this often includes HD liposuction, Lipo 360, abdominoplasty, gynecomastia correction, and targeted sculpting of the arms, thighs, back, or jawline. Dr. Grandhige designs each plan around your anatomy and goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Recovery timelines vary by procedure. For liposuction, most patients return to light activity within a week and resume exercise within two to four weeks. Abdominoplasty requires more downtime, with most patients returning to work after 10 to 14 days and full exercise at six weeks. Formation actively manages recovery with compression guidance, lymphatic treatments, and scheduled follow up visits.
Yes. Dr. Gopal Grandhige is a board-certified general surgeon with fellowship training in burn surgery, critical care, and minimally invasive metabolic surgery. His training includes affiliations with the University of Michigan, Yale University, Johns Hopkins, and USF Health. This extensive surgical background provides a level of anatomical knowledge and clinical judgment uncommon in aesthetic practice.
Costs vary depending on the combination of procedures, operative time, and individual goals. Formation provides detailed, transparent pricing during your consultation. Virtual consultations are also available with a patient advisor who can provide a range of pricing after understanding your needs, so you have clarity before committing to an in-person visit.
Formation is widely recognized for male body contouring, including gynecomastia surgery, abdominal etching, chest sculpting, and athletic definition. Male aesthetics require a distinct surgical approach to maintain masculine proportion and avoid an over-operated appearance. Formation also serves women seeking body contouring, tummy tucks, and circumferential sculpting.
