FaceTite In Westshore Business District, FL
Tighten, contour, and restore a sharper facial profile without surgery or visible scars.
What FaceTite Can Do for Your Face and Neck
If your jawline has started to blur, your neck feels heavier than it should, or you notice sagging skin beneath your chin that no amount of healthy living seems to fix, you are not alone. These changes happen gradually. Genetics, aging, and collagen loss all play a role, and they do not respond to diet or exercise the way other areas of the body might.
FaceTite is a minimally invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency assisted lipolysis, also known as RFAL, to deliver controlled thermal energy beneath the skin. This FDA cleared technology contracts collagen fibers, removes small pockets of stubborn fat, and stimulates your body’s own collagen production over time. The result is a tighter, more defined facial contour that continues to improve for months after treatment.
Unlike a traditional surgical facelift, FaceTite requires only a few tiny needle punctures. There are no large incisions, no visible scars, and no general anesthesia. Most patients return to their normal routine within a few days, which makes it a strong option for working professionals and anyone who values minimal disruption.
FaceTite is especially effective for treating the lower face and neck. Common treatment areas include the jawline, jowls, chin, and neck. It can also be combined with Renuvion or neck and jawline contouring when a more comprehensive result is desired. For patients who want facial refinement without committing to a full surgical procedure, FaceTite offers a meaningful improvement that looks natural and holds up well over time.
Whether you are noticing the early signs of skin laxity in your 30s or looking for a reset in your 40s or 50s, this treatment can help restore sharpness and definition where it matters most.
The Team Behind Your Results
At Formation, every FaceTite procedure is personally performed by Dr. Gopal Grandhige, MD, a board certified surgeon who specializes in aesthetic surgery. Dr. Grandhige brings over 15 years of surgical experience and a background that sets him apart from most providers in the Tampa area.
Training Rooted in Precision and Safety
Dr. Grandhige attended medical school at the University of Michigan Medical School and initially matched into a highly competitive plastic surgery residency at Yale University School of Medicine. His path ultimately led him through a full general surgery residency and advanced fellowship training in burn surgery, critical care, and minimally invasive surgery. That combination of training is uncommon in aesthetic medicine, and it directly shapes how he approaches every procedure at Formation.
His background in high stakes surgical environments means he understands tissue behavior, inflammation, wound healing, and anatomy at a level that goes well beyond surface technique. When performing FaceTite, he applies this knowledge to ensure controlled energy delivery, safe fat removal, and precise contouring that respects your natural facial structure.
A Boutique Practice Built Around Depth
Formation is a plastic surgery clinic located at 1315 South Howard Avenue in Tampa. Dr. Grandhige intentionally limits patient volume so that every individual receives thorough evaluation, personalized planning, and hands on follow up care. This is not a high volume practice. It is a boutique surgical studio designed around quality, continuity, and lasting outcomes. You can learn more about what drives this approach on our philosophy page.
The surgical team is consistent across all procedures. Dr. Grandhige works with the same board certified anesthesia professionals, the same operating room staff, and his personally employed physician assistant on every case. That familiarity creates efficiency, clear communication, and a calm environment where nothing is rushed or left to chance.
Consultations are comprehensive. Dr. Grandhige personally evaluates your anatomy, discusses realistic expectations, and explains why certain approaches may or may not be the right fit. If FaceTite alone is not the best path forward, he will say so. That honesty is central to the Formation experience.
What Patients Are Saying
Formation holds a 5.0 star rating with over 40 verified reviews. Patients consistently highlight the personalized attention, the calm surgical environment, and results that look natural rather than overdone. You can view real patient transformations in our before and after gallery.
One patient shared that after FaceTite and jawline contouring, colleagues began commenting that he looked more rested and energized, without anyone suspecting a procedure had been done. He described feeling like his face finally matched the rest of his body, and said he smiled more and started getting in pictures again.
That kind of subtle, life changing result is what Formation is known for. It is the outcome of precise technique, honest planning, and a care philosophy shared across the entire clinical team.
Restore Confidence Without the Downtime
FaceTite in Westshore Business District is designed for people who want visible improvement without the commitment of traditional surgery. Here is why patients in the Tampa area consistently choose this treatment.
How the Treatment Works
FaceTite is performed in office using an oral sedative and local anesthesia. A small probe is inserted beneath the skin through tiny puncture points, delivering radiofrequency energy that heats and contracts tissue while melting small fat deposits. An external electrode works simultaneously on the surface, promoting collagen remodeling from both sides of the skin.
The procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes depending on the areas being treated. Most patients go home the same day and return to work within three to five days. A compression garment is worn for the first one to two weeks to support healing and reduce swelling.
Results That Build Over Time
Some improvement is visible right away, particularly from fat reduction. The real transformation, however, unfolds over months. Collagen production continues to increase for up to a year after treatment, progressively tightening and smoothing the skin. Many patients see their best results between six and twelve months.
Results from FaceTite are long lasting. Because the treated fat cells are permanently removed and collagen remodeling creates structural change beneath the skin, most patients enjoy their results for five to seven years with proper skin care and sun protection. Formation also offers complementary treatments such as PDO thread lifts and facial injectables for patients interested in a layered approach to facial rejuvenation.
FaceTite Candidacy
Ideal candidates are generally in their mid 20s to mid 50s, in stable health, and bothered by mild to moderate skin laxity along the jawline, neck, or lower face. FaceTite works well for patients who are not yet ready for a surgical facelift but want something more effective than topical treatments or less invasive energy devices. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recognizes radiofrequency assisted lipolysis as a proven approach for nonsurgical facial contouring.
During your consultation, Dr. Grandhige will assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, and goals to determine whether FaceTite alone or a combination approach, such as pairing it with neck liposuction or Renuvion, will deliver the best outcome.
10 Signs FaceTite May Be Right for You
Many patients put off treatment because they are unsure whether their concerns are “enough” to justify a procedure. If any of the following sound familiar, a consultation could bring clarity.

- You have noticed jowls forming along your lower face that were not there a few years ago.
- You look tired or older in video calls despite being in good health and staying active.
- You have lost weight but your neck and chin still look full or undefined.

- You want facial contouring but are not ready for a surgical facelift.
- You are a working professional who cannot take weeks away from your schedule.
- You have been researching minimally invasive skin tightening options and want something proven.
- You are concerned about visible scars or long recovery times.

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.

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!
