In Depth Consultation
Your journey starts with a thorough consultation where Dr. Grandhige personally evaluates your goals, anatomy, and health history. This is not a sales meeting. It is an honest conversation about what cosmetic surgery can and cannot accomplish for your unique situation. Many patients leave with a clear plan, even if that plan involves waiting or addressing foundational health factors first.
Preoperative Preparation
Once your procedure is scheduled, you receive structured guidance on nutrition, protein intake, and lifestyle adjustments that optimize healing. We treat preparation as a clinical phase, not an administrative formality. Patients who arrive well prepared consistently achieve better results and more comfortable recoveries.
Precision Surgical Care
Dr. Grandhige performs all surgical procedures personally in accredited facilities with a consistent, experienced team. The operating environment is calm, focused, and built around safety. Our approach emphasizes restraint and precision because knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing what to do. Learn more about our philosophy and what guides every decision we make.

Real Patients, Real Transformations
Formation has helped hundreds of patients achieve results that look natural, hold up over time, and align with their lifestyle goals. Our before and after gallery showcases real outcomes from procedures including high definition liposuction, tummy tucks, gynecomastia correction, and neck contouring.
One patient, a physician himself, came to Formation after years of disciplined training and diet. Despite his efforts, stubborn fat deposits obscured the muscle definition he had worked hard to build. Following HD liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, chest, and arms, he finally saw results that matched his dedication. He recently shared a photo from Halloween where he dressed as Superman, noting how confident he felt showing off his physique in Florida’s sunny weather.
Another patient struggled with neck fullness that made him appear heavier and older than he felt. After targeted jawline contouring, colleagues began commenting that he looked more rested and energetic. The change was subtle enough that no one suspected surgery, yet significant enough to transform how he felt in photos and video calls.
Formation maintains a 5.0 rating with over 70 reviews from patients who appreciate our personalized approach, honest guidance, and lasting outcomes.
Is Formation Right for You?
Many patients who find their way to Formation share similar frustrations. If any of the following situations sound familiar, you may be an excellent candidate for our approach to aesthetic surgery.
- You train consistently and eat well, but stubborn fat deposits hide the muscle definition you have earned.
- You feel self conscious about your chest, whether due to gynecomastia or simply a lack of masculine contour.
- Your neck and jawline appear soft or undefined, making you look heavier or older than you actually are.
- You have loose abdominal skin following weight loss or pregnancy that no amount of exercise can tighten.
- You want results that look athletic and natural, not obviously surgical or overdone.
- You have researched multiple Tampa plastic surgeons but want someone who prioritizes depth over volume.
- You are looking for a surgeon who will be honest with you, even if that means recommending against a procedure.
- You want comprehensive care that extends beyond the operating room, including recovery guidance and long term support.
- You are traveling to Tampa specifically for a surgeon with expertise in male body contouring or HD liposuction.
- You have had a previous procedure elsewhere and need revision surgery from an experienced specialist.
Body Sculpting and Aesthetic Procedures at Formation
Formation specializes in advanced cosmetic and plastic surgery in Tampa, FL, offering body contouring and aesthetic procedures that deliver meaningful, lasting change. Rather than offering every cosmetic treatment available, we focus on areas where surgical precision and recovery strategy make the greatest difference.
High Definition Liposuction
Our signature procedure removes stubborn fat while revealing natural muscle definition. Dr. Grandhige approaches HD lipo for men as sculpture, carefully preserving transitions and enhancing anatomy rather than simply removing volume. Ideal for patients who are near their goal weight but want visible athletic contours.
Male Body Contouring and Gynecomastia Surgery
Male aesthetics require a distinct surgical eye. Formation is known for clean, masculine chest contours that avoid the common pitfalls of over resection or feminized results. We combine gynecomastia correction with strategic torso sculpting to create balanced, proportional outcomes. Explore our full range of men’s aesthetic surgery options.
Abdominoplasty and Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty addresses loose skin and muscle separation that liposuction alone cannot fix. This procedure restores core integrity and abdominal contour, often improving posture and comfort in addition to appearance. Formation offers both traditional and advanced techniques, including revision surgery for patients unsatisfied with previous results.
Neck Liposuction and Jawline Contouring
Jawline definition dramatically impacts how others perceive you. Our approach to non invasive neck and jawline contouring uses precise fat removal combined with FaceTite or Renuvion skin tightening to create sharp, natural angles without an over pulled appearance. Results typically become fully visible within three to six months.
Additional Procedures
Formation also offers Lipo360 circumferential torso contouring, arm and thigh liposuction, back contouring, fat transfer for refinement, BodyTite skin tightening, PDO thread lifts, and non surgical options including Morpheus8 and injectable treatments.

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.
