Tighter skin. A sharper jawline. No scalpel required. Formation delivers minimally invasive facial contouring that looks natural and lasts for years.
FaceTite is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to tighten loose skin, reduce stubborn fat, and stimulate collagen production beneath the surface. It targets the jawline, neck, jowls, and lower face through tiny incisions, requiring no stitches and leaving no visible scars. Most patients return to daily activities within three to five days, making it one of the most effective nonsurgical skin tightening options available today.
Radiofrequency energy precisely contours the jaw and chin, reducing submental fat and tightening sagging tissue for a more defined profile.
Performed through tiny needle punctures under local anesthesia, FaceTite requires no stitches and leaves no noticeable scarring. Recovery is quick and manageable.
Collagen remodeling continues for up to 12 months after treatment. Patients typically enjoy results that hold strong for five to seven years with proper care.
Most patients are back at work and social activities within three to five days. Compression is worn briefly, and swelling resolves quickly compared to surgical alternatives.
Unlike treatments that only address skin, FaceTite melts small pockets of unwanted fat and contracts the overlying tissue simultaneously for comprehensive rejuvenation.
FaceTite can be combined with neck liposuction, Morpheus8, or other procedures at Formation to create a fully customized facial contouring plan.
Dr. Gopal Grandhige, MD, is a board-certified surgeon with specialized fellowship training across critical care, burn surgery, and minimally invasive procedures. His background spans thousands of surgical cases, giving him a depth of anatomical understanding that directly translates to safer, more precise aesthetic results. He completed medical training at the University of Michigan Medical School and initially matched into a competitive integrated plastic surgery residency at Yale University School of Medicine before completing a full general surgery residency and advanced fellowships.
At Formation, located on South Howard Avenue in Tampa, Dr. Grandhige intentionally limits surgical volume so every patient receives his full attention from consultation through recovery. FaceTite in Downtown Core, FL is performed in a Quad A certified surgical facility staffed by board-certified anesthesia professionals, experienced nurses, and Dr. Grandhige’s personally employed physician assistant. Every procedure follows strict safety protocols including preoperative screening, tailored anesthesia planning, and continuous monitoring.
Formation is built on a philosophy of depth over volume. Rather than rushing patients through a system, Dr. Grandhige treats recovery as an active, medically guided phase. Patients receive structured guidance on compression, lymphatic care, inflammation management, and nutrition. The result is outcomes that look natural, hold up over time, and respect masculine facial proportions while welcoming all patients seeking refined facial contouring.
Schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Grandhige to discuss your FaceTite options at Formation in Downtown Core, FL.
From your very first call to your final follow-up, Formation’s process is designed to feel personal, thorough, and never rushed. Here is what your journey looks like
Dr. Grandhige personally evaluates your anatomy, discusses your goals, and determines whether FaceTite is the right approach. There is no pressure, just honest guidance.
You receive tailored pre-procedure instructions, including nutritional guidance, compression planning, and recovery logistics. Preparation is treated as part of the procedure itself.
Performed with a local sedative and local anesthesia through small incisions, the procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Renuvion or FaceTite RF energy tightens the skin over underlying structures while dissolving excess fat.
Most patients return to work within three to five days. Compression is worn briefly. Final results develop over three to twelve months as collagen builds and skin continues to tighten.

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.

Check out this incredible before and after of our gorgeous patient 6 months following her Female HD Liposculpture! ⏳
While these results are already stunning, here is a little insider secret: she’s not even at her final result yet! Healing from high-definition liposculpture is a journey. Over the next few months, residual swelling will continue to subside, and any temporary skin texture changes or minor discoloration will fully resolve. As the tissues settle, her skin will keep tightening to reveal even more crisp, beautifully defined athletic contours.
We love seeing our patients blossom through their recovery. Patience pays off, and her body will only continue to lean out and lock in over the coming months!

This patient’s transformation showcases the power of combining procedures:
High-Definition Liposculpture + Renuvion® skin tightening with fat transfer to the chest.
HD Lipo goes beyond traditional liposuction to sculpt and define the underlying muscle anatomy, while Renuvion uses helium plasma energy to tighten the skin from the inside out. The fat transfer to the chest adds natural volume and projection for a truly athletic contour.
The work is done. The confidence is his. 💪

A journey that began with dedication, completed with precision. ✨
This patient worked tirelessly to lose weight, only to be left with the final hurdle: skin laxity that diet and exercise couldn`t touch. A circumferential lift was performed to remove the excess tissue "belt" around the entire midsection.
Today, at 12 months post-op, the transformation is complete. It’s not just about a flatter silhouette; it’s about a body that finally matches the strength and hard work they put in. The confidence? Unstoppable. 🏔️

Formation patients consistently report not just visible improvement, but a renewed sense of confidence in professional and personal settings. Colleagues notice something has changed but can never pinpoint exactly what. That subtlety is the goal.
One patient, a professional in his 40s, had always felt his neck and jawline made him appear heavier and older than the rest of his body suggested. Despite being otherwise fit, this area never responded to diet or exercise. After FaceTite and targeted neck contouring, he described feeling like his face finally matched the rest of him. He smiled more, got in pictures again, and felt more at ease on video calls and in meetings.
Dr. Grandhige took the time to really understand what I wanted and was honest about what was realistic. The results are subtle but powerful. I look more like myself, just sharper. My only regret is not doing it sooner.

Patients come to Formation from across Tampa’s Downtown Core, South Tampa, Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Westchase, and Carrollwood. We also see patients who travel from St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota, Orlando, Miami, and throughout the Southeast specifically for Dr. Grandhige’s expertise in facial contouring and body sculpting. Reach out today to start the conversation.
For out-of-town patients considering FaceTite in Downtown Core, FL, we coordinate recovery at nearby hotels with discounted rates. Dr. Grandhige even visits patients in their hotel rooms during those early recovery days, so you never have to worry about logistics getting in the way of your results.
Fat cells removed during FaceTite do not come back. Skin tightening results typically last five to seven years, though the natural aging process continues. Proper skincare, sun protection, and maintaining a stable weight help extend your results significantly.
Most patients return to work and social activities within three to five days. Mild swelling and bruising are common in the first week and resolve quickly. A chin compression garment is worn briefly to support healing. Full results develop over three to twelve months.
The cost of FaceTite varies depending on the treatment areas and whether it is combined with complementary procedures like neck liposuction. FaceTite is typically priced 50 to 70 percent lower than a traditional surgical facelift. A personalized quote is provided during your consultation.
Ideal candidates are typically between their mid 20s and mid 50s with mild to moderate skin laxity around the jaw, chin, or neck. You should be at a stable weight and in overall good health. During your consultation, Dr. Grandhige assesses your facial structure and goals to determine the best approach.
FaceTite is performed under local anesthesia with an oral sedative, so you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients describe mild soreness afterward, which is easily managed. Discomfort is significantly less than what you would experience with a traditional facelift.
Whether you are ready to move forward or simply exploring your options, a consultation at Formation gives you clarity, honest guidance, and a plan designed around your goals. Experience FaceTite in Downtown Core, FL with a surgeon who values precision, safety, and results that age well.
