Tighten, sculpt, and define your jawline with minimally invasive radiofrequency technology at Formation, Tampa’s boutique aesthetic surgery clinic.
If you have been searching for FaceTite in Audubon Park, FL, you already know that a strong jawline and a clean neck profile make a real difference in how you look and how you feel. The challenge is finding a clinic that treats facial contouring as a craft, not a commodity. That is exactly what Formation was built to do.
Formation is a plastic surgery clinic based in Tampa, just a short drive from the Audubon Park neighborhood. Rather than operating as a high volume practice, Formation was intentionally designed as a boutique surgical studio where fewer patients receive significantly deeper care. Every consultation, every procedure plan, and every recovery protocol is personalized. Nothing is rushed. You can learn more about what drives this approach on our practice philosophy page.
The clinic’s surgical team includes Dr. Ahmad Saad, a plastic surgeon, and Dr. Gopal Grandhige, a board certified surgeon who specializes in aesthetic surgery. Dr. Grandhige brings more than 15 years of surgical experience across complex disciplines, including critical care, burn surgery, and minimally invasive procedures. His medical training began at the University of Michigan Medical School, where he developed a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, and systems based thinking. That depth of training directly shapes how FaceTite is performed at Formation, with a focus on safety, anatomical precision, and results that look natural rather than overdone.
Formation is especially known for male facial contouring and jawline refinement, though patients of all backgrounds seek the clinic for its restrained, anatomy driven approach. If you want a provider who will be honest about what FaceTite can and cannot do for you, this is the right place to start.
FaceTite is an FDA cleared skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency assisted lipolysis, also called RFAL, to firm and contour the lower face and neck. It is one of the most effective nonsurgical options available for patients dealing with mild to moderate skin laxity, stubborn submental fat, or a softened jawline. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recognizes minimally invasive facial procedures as one of the fastest growing categories in aesthetic medicine, and FaceTite is a leading option in that space.
During the procedure, a small probe is inserted beneath the skin through a tiny puncture point. The device delivers controlled bipolar radiofrequency energy both above and below the skin’s surface. This thermal energy does two things simultaneously: it melts small pockets of unwanted fat and it contracts existing collagen fibers while stimulating new collagen production over the following months.
Unlike topical RF devices or ultrasound based treatments that work only from the outside, FaceTite reaches deeper tissue layers from within. That internal delivery is what allows it to produce stronger, more visible tightening, often comparable to what previously required a surgical facelift. There are no large incisions, no visible scars, and no general anesthesia required.
At Formation, FaceTite is frequently combined with targeted neck liposuction to maximize jawline definition and profile sharpness. For patients exploring complementary options, treatments like PDO thread lifts or injectable treatments can also be discussed during your consultation. Dr. Grandhige personally evaluates every patient to determine whether FaceTite alone, or FaceTite paired with complementary contouring, will deliver the most natural and lasting result.
The procedure itself typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Most patients return to daily activities within a few days. Initial improvements are visible right away, but the full effect develops gradually over three to six months as new collagen continues to build beneath the skin.
Formation patients consistently report one thing after FaceTite treatment: people notice something changed, but nobody can tell exactly what. That subtlety is intentional. Dr. Grandhige’s approach to facial skin tightening is rooted in restraint and anatomical respect, not exaggeration. You can see examples of this work in our before and after gallery.
Men especially appreciate this. A sharper jawline and a more defined neck profile often translate into looking more rested, more fit, and more confident in professional settings, in photos, and on video calls. Many patients say it feels like their face finally matches the effort they put into the rest of their body.
FaceTite results typically last between five and seven years. The fat cells removed during the procedure do not return, and the collagen remodeling that occurs in the months following treatment creates a tighter baseline that ages more gracefully over time. With proper sun protection and a healthy skincare routine, patients can extend those results even further.
Formation maintains a 5.0 rating with over 40 reviews. Patients trust the clinic because it delivers what it promises: honest assessments, personalized plans, and outcomes that hold up long after the initial swelling fades.
“I felt like my face and neck finally matched the rest of my body. People keep telling me I look more rested. Nobody suspects a thing.” โ Formation Patient

1 Month Post-Op Transformation! ๐ฅ
Fixing previous surgical outcomes requires precision, expertise, and a tailored approach.
Hereโs how Dr. Grandhige transformed this patientโs core and chest:
The Challenge:
Previous tummy tuck left uneven abdominal fat distribution
High scar placement creating a visible โshelfโ effect
The Solution:
HD Liposculpture to refine and sculpt a athletic, masculine core and chest
Scar Revision to eliminate the shelf-like appearance and create a smoother profile
Keep in mind, at just 1 month post-op, swelling is still settling and we are nowhere near final results! Canโt wait to see this shape mature over the next few months. ๐ฅ
๐ฌ Questions about revision procedures? Drop them in the comments or send us a DM!
Trust the process. ๐ค
This beautiful tummy tuck transformation is only 1 month post-op!
What makes this journey even more special is where it began. Two years ago, this patient came to us wanting change but wasnโt quite ready for the operating table. Instead of rushing, we partnered with her for the long haul. Through the strategic use of GLP-1 therapy, dedicated nutrition guidance, and mindset coaching, she completely transformed her health to get to where she is today.
While she is already looking incredible, itโs important to remember that residual swelling and inflammation are completely normal at this stage. Healing takes time, but the foundation for an amazing result is officially set!
We are so incredibly honored to be a part of every patient`s unique journey, and we are committed to being with you every single step of the way.
Drop a โค๏ธ to wish her a continued smooth recovery!

You do not have to settle for a softened profile or a tired looking neckline. Whether you are an Audubon Park local or traveling from across Florida, Formation offers the kind of thoughtful, precise aesthetic care that produces results you can trust for years to come.
FaceTite in Audubon Park, FL, is not just about tightening skin. It is about restoring confidence, sharpening your presence, and feeling aligned in how you look and how you move through the world. At Formation, that transformation starts with an honest conversation and a personalized plan built around your anatomy, your goals, and your life.
Call (813) 922 2920 or book online to schedule your consultation. Your path to a sharper, more defined jawline starts with FaceTite at Formation.
Yes. FaceTite is FDA cleared and uses bipolar radiofrequency energy with built in temperature sensors that monitor heat levels in real time. This prevents overheating and protects surrounding tissue. At Formation, all procedures are performed in a registered, accredited surgical environment with a consistent and experienced team. Dr. Grandhige prioritizes safety at every stage, from pre procedure evaluation through recovery.
Some improvement is visible immediately, particularly from fat reduction. However, the most significant tightening and contouring develops over three to six months as your body produces new collagen. Full results are typically apparent around six to twelve months after treatment.
Recovery is relatively quick. Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and tightness for the first few days. A compression garment is worn for a short period to support healing. Many patients return to work and light social activities within three to five days.
Results typically last between five and seven years. The fat cells that are removed do not regenerate. Skin tightening results depend on factors like skin quality, sun exposure, and overall lifestyle. Protecting your skin from UV damage and following a consistent skincare routine will help extend your results.
Absolutely. At Formation, FaceTite is often paired with targeted neck liposuction or Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling to enhance jawline definition and overall skin quality. During your consultation, Dr. Grandhige will recommend the approach that best fits your anatomy and goals.
Use the form below to request your consultation, and the team will follow up to schedule your visit.
