Reveal the body you have been working toward with precision liposuction performed by a board certified surgeon at our Tampa clinic, proudly serving Westchase and surrounding communities.
Choosing the right clinic for liposuction in Westchase, FL is one of the most important decisions you will make on your body contouring journey. At Formation, our Tampa based practice has built a reputation on precision, honesty, and long lasting results that help patients feel confident in Florida’s year round sunshine.
Our founder, Dr. Gopal Grandhige, is a board certified surgeon who specializes in aesthetic surgery. With over 15 years of surgical experience and thousands of procedures performed, Dr. Grandhige brings a depth of training that spans complex general surgery, burn surgery, critical care, and minimally invasive techniques. He completed his medical education at the University of Michigan Medical School and holds certification from the American Board of Surgery. This extensive background means your liposuction procedure is performed by someone who understands anatomy at the deepest level, not just surface aesthetics.
Formation is especially known for male body contouring and athletic sculpting. While we welcome patients of all backgrounds, we have developed particular expertise in helping men achieve masculine, athletic results. Male aesthetics require a completely different approach than female contouring. Chest sculpting, abdominal definition, and flank reduction must work together to maintain masculine balance and create the sought after V taper silhouette with broad shoulders and a slim waist.
Our Tampa clinic is not a high volume practice. We intentionally limit the number of patients we see so that every person receives full attention before, during, and after surgery. Dr. Grandhige personally evaluates each patient, designs the surgical plan, and remains deeply involved throughout recovery. To learn more about what drives our approach, visit our philosophy page. You will never feel like just another number here.
Located in South Tampa on South Howard Avenue, our clinic serves patients throughout the greater Tampa Bay area including Westchase, Carrollwood, Citrus Park, and surrounding communities. All surgical procedures are performed in fully accredited Quad A certified surgical facilities, meeting the highest national standards for outpatient surgical safety as recognized under Florida law.
When you choose Formation for your lipo procedure, you are choosing a team that values restraint over aggression, education over pressure, and outcomes over volume. That is what sets us apart from other body sculpting clinics in the region.
Formation offers a full range of fat removal and body contouring procedures tailored to your unique anatomy and goals. Whether you want to eliminate stubborn love handles, define your midsection, sculpt your chest, or achieve a more athletic silhouette, our liposuction services can help.
High definition liposculpture is Formation’s signature procedure. By strategically removing fat from both deep and superficial layers, Dr. Grandhige reveals the natural muscle definition hiding beneath stubborn fat deposits. This technique goes beyond simple fat removal to sculpt and contour the body with artistic precision.
For men seeking athletic definition, HD lipo can enhance the appearance of abdominal muscles, create clean chest contours, and accentuate the V taper torso. For patients who are already fit but frustrated by diet resistant fat, HD lipo delivers the clarity and definition that exercise alone cannot achieve. We focus on creating natural transitions and avoiding over etched results that look artificial.
This method uses gentle vibration to loosen fat cells, allowing for easier and more complete removal with less trauma to surrounding tissues. Dr. Grandhige employs novel PAL techniques that achieve additional skin contraction without requiring extra modalities or additional cost. Formation is recognized as a training site where physicians from across the country learn these advanced PAL HD techniques.
For patients seeking comprehensive transformation, Lipo 360 treats the entire midsection including the abdomen, flanks, and lower back. This circumferential approach creates balanced, proportional results that look natural from every angle. By removing fat on the flanks while preserving central and upper bulk, combined with elimination of highly diet resistant lower back fat, the waistline is reduced to create a more athletic torso shape.
Many men struggle with excess fat or tissue in the chest area that creates an unwanted appearance. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, liposuction can effectively treat gynecomastia in the majority of patients, creating clean, flat, masculine chest contours. Dr. Grandhige focuses on avoiding common complications like saucer deformities and over resection, instead delivering natural results that look proportional to your frame.
Liposuction in Westchase, FL is not limited to the body. Targeted neck and jawline sculpting can dramatically improve facial profile without anyone knowing why. This area is heavily influenced by genetics and aging, and even fit individuals often carry stubborn fat beneath the chin that diet cannot eliminate. Dr. Grandhige emphasizes precise fat removal while respecting natural jaw angles to create sharpness without tight, over pulled results.
We perform liposuction on nearly every area of the body including the abdomen, flanks, back, chest, arms, thighs, knees, and chin. Each area requires a distinct approach, and Dr. Grandhige customizes every procedure based on your anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.
All surgeries are performed in fully accredited Quad A certified surgical facilities with board certified anesthesia professionals. Dr. Grandhige works with the same anesthesia provider and surgical team on every case, creating consistency, efficiency, and an added layer of safety for every patient. This commitment to accredited facilities ensures compliance with Florida’s standards for outpatient surgical safety.
Formation patients consistently describe their experience as personal, supportive, and transformative. You can view real results in our before and after gallery.
One patient, a physician himself, underwent high definition liposculpture of the abdomen, back, chest, axilla, and arms. Six months later, he shared a photo of himself dressed as Superman for Halloween, expressing how thrilled he was to finally feel confident showing off his physique in Florida’s sunny weather. He told us the procedure allowed him to express himself and enjoy his body in ways he never had before.
Another patient, a professional in his 40s, came to us frustrated that his neck and jawline made him look heavier and older than he felt. He said he had always looked this way and hated the way he appeared in pictures. Despite being otherwise fit, this area never responded to weight loss. After targeted neck liposuction and jawline contouring, colleagues commented that he looked more rested and energized. He told us he finally felt like his face matched the rest of his body, and now he smiles more and actually gets in photos.
These stories reflect what we aim to deliver for every patient: results that feel natural, confidence that lasts, and care that continues long after surgery day.
If you have been considering body contouring but feel uncertain about where to start, we invite you to schedule a consultation at our Tampa clinic. During your visit, Dr. Grandhige will take time to understand your goals, evaluate your anatomy, and provide honest guidance about what liposuction can and cannot achieve for your specific situation.
There is no pressure to commit. Many patients leave their consultation with clarity and a plan, even if surgery is not immediate. Our role is to guide you toward the right decision, not to sell you a procedure. Sometimes surgery is not even offered if Dr. Grandhige believes another approach would better serve your goals. For some patients, non surgical options like PDO thread lifts or facial injectables may be recommended instead. Others may benefit from Botox treatments to complement their results.
If any of these situations sound familiar, you may be an excellent candidate for liposuction in Westchase, FL. Formation is here to help you take the next step.
Formation’s main clinic is located in the heart of South Tampa on South Howard Avenue, in the iconic yellow brick building across from Fresh Kitchen. From this central location, we proudly serve patients from Westchase and nearby communities including Citrus Park, Carrollwood, Town ‘N’ Country, Odessa, and throughout Hillsborough County.
Many of our Westchase patients appreciate that they can access top tier body contouring expertise without traveling far from home. Whether you are coming from the neighborhoods near Westchase Golf Club or the family friendly streets closer to Countryway Boulevard, our Tampa office is just a short drive away. We are also easily accessible from Westchase Town Center and the shops along Linebaugh Avenue.
For patients traveling from outside the immediate area, we offer complete packages that include transportation, hotel accommodations with discounted rates at nearby hotels where we have relationships, overnight nursing for the first 24 hours, and comprehensive post operative support. Dr. Grandhige personally visits patients recovering in their hotel rooms during those early days so they do not have to travel to the office immediately after surgery. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, selecting an experienced surgeon and accredited facility are among the most important factors in achieving safe, successful outcomes from any cosmetic procedure.
No matter where you are coming from, Formation makes your experience seamless from consultation through recovery. Ready to learn more? Contact us to schedule your visit.

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.

You deserve to feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. If stubborn fat has been holding you back from looking and feeling your best, liposuction in Westchase, FL at Formation may be the solution you have been searching for.
Contact our Tampa clinic today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Gopal Grandhige, a board certified surgeon specializing in aesthetic surgery and male body contouring. Discover how precision body sculpting can reveal the shape you have been working toward and help you move through life with renewed confidence.
Liposuction removes unwanted fat deposits to contour and sculpt the body. It works best for patients with good skin elasticity who want to eliminate stubborn fat. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles. Patients with loose skin or muscle laxity after significant weight changes may need a tummy tuck instead of or in addition to lipo. During your consultation, Dr. Grandhige will assess your anatomy and recommend the approach that will deliver your desired results.
Most patients return to light daily activities within one week and resume exercise within two to four weeks depending on the extent of the procedure. Swelling gradually improves over several months, with final contours becoming visible around three to six months post surgery. Formation provides structured recovery guidance including compression garment protocols, lymphatic treatments, and scheduled follow up visits for a full year to optimize your healing and results.
The fat cells removed during liposuction do not regenerate. Results are considered permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. If you gain weight after surgery, remaining fat cells in treated areas can expand, but not to the degree they would have before lipo. This is why we emphasize that liposuction is a finishing tool for patients already committed to healthy living, not a substitute for diet and exercise.
Ideal candidates are generally at or near their goal weight, in good overall health, non smokers, and have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve. You should have good skin elasticity and fat deposits that are disproportionate or resistant to diet and exercise. Age is not a determinant of candidacy. Each individual is assessed for skin laxity to ensure the desired goal can be achieved. Dr. Grandhige evaluates each patient individually and will be honest if another approach might serve you better.
Look for a surgeon with extensive training, board certification, and a philosophy that aligns with your goals. Pay attention to how you feel during the consultation. You should feel heard, not pressured. Review before and after photos for consistency and natural results, especially photos of patients whose before images look similar to your current situation. Ask about recovery protocols and follow up care. At Formation, we welcome your questions and encourage you to take your time making this important decision.
