Dr. Ahmad Saad, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Ahmad Saad brings precision and an artist’s eye to every procedure at Formation. As a board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Saad is trained in both the technical and aesthetic dimensions of facial rejuvenation, including PDO thread lifts.

Dr. Gopal Grandhige, Board Certified Surgeon Specializing in Aesthetic Surgery

He initially matched into a highly competitive combined plastic surgery residency at Yale before choosing a broader and deeper surgical path.
With over 15 years of surgical experience and thousands of cases completed, Dr. Grandhige brings a systems based approach to every patient interaction. He views aesthetic procedures not as isolated events, but as part of a larger picture that includes recovery, nutrition, inflammation management, and long term lifestyle alignment. That philosophy runs through everything Formation does.
Together, Dr. Saad and Dr. Grandhige ensure that each patient benefits from both surgical artistry and deep medical knowledge, whether the procedure is a PDO thread lift or a more involved body contouring treatment.
What a PDO Thread Lift Can Do for You
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure that uses dissolvable polydioxanone sutures to lift sagging skin, sharpen facial contours, and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. The threads are placed beneath the skin through small entry points, creating an immediate lifting effect that continues to improve over the following months as new collagen forms around the treatment area.
Common Concerns a Thread Lift Addresses
PDO threads are especially effective for mild to moderate skin laxity along the jawline, lower face, cheeks, and neck. Many patients, particularly men, seek this procedure to restore a sharper jaw angle, reduce the appearance of jowls, or tighten a soft neckline that does not respond to diet or exercise. The procedure is also a strong option for patients who want visible improvement without the extended downtime of a surgical facelift. You can learn more about Formation’s dedicated PDO thread lift for men page to see how the treatment is tailored specifically for male facial anatomy.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Most PDO thread lift procedures take under an hour. Local anesthetic is applied to keep you comfortable throughout. Mild swelling and bruising are common in the first few days but typically resolve quickly. Many patients return to work and normal activities within two to three days.
Results appear immediately after placement and continue to develop over one to three months as collagen production increases. Depending on your skin, the type of threads used, and your lifestyle, results can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months. Follow up treatments can extend and build on your initial results over time.
At Formation, the team takes a conservative and anatomy driven approach to thread placement. The goal is never to create a pulled or artificial look. Instead, the focus is on restoring natural definition so you simply look refreshed, rested, and like yourself. Patients interested in combining a thread lift with injectable treatments can discuss that option during their consultation.
Hear It from Formation Patients
Formation patients consistently describe the same experience: they felt heard during their consultation, prepared before their procedure, and supported throughout recovery. One patient, a working professional who visited for jawline and neck contouring, shared that colleagues began commenting on how rested and energized he looked, without anyone suspecting a procedure had been done. Another patient described renewed confidence in photos and video calls after years of avoiding both.
These outcomes reflect the Formation philosophy. The best results are the ones people cannot quite identify. They just see confidence, balance, and presence. Formation holds itself to that standard with every patient, every procedure. You can view real before and after photos in the patient gallery.
The clinic performs all surgical procedures in fully accredited, Quad A certified surgical facilities that meet the highest national standards for outpatient safety, in full compliance with Florida’s office surgery regulations and patient safety requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About PDO Thread Lifts
Results from a PDO thread lift typically last between 12 and 18 months. The threads themselves dissolve within four to six months, but the collagen they stimulate continues to support your skin well beyond that point. Maintenance treatments can help extend and build on your results over time.
Most patients report only mild discomfort. Local anesthetic is applied before treatment to keep the procedure comfortable. Some swelling, bruising, and tightness are common for the first few days but usually resolve within one to two weeks.
Ideal candidates are generally in their early thirties to mid fifties, are at a healthy and stable weight, and have mild to moderate skin sagging along the jawline, cheeks, neck, or lower face. During your consultation at Formation, the team will assess your skin elasticity, facial anatomy, and goals to determine if a PDO thread lift is the right fit.

How defined would you go?
Not everyone wants the same look from HD liposuction. Some prefer a smooth, subtle contour, while others want their abs to stand out.
Here’s how the three levels of definition differ:
01. Low definition: A smoother, more subtle contour with gentle definition around the waist and abdomen.
02. Medium definition: More visible abdominal lines and a defined waist, without the appearance of a pronounced six-pack.
03. High definition: More pronounced abdominal contours that highlight the underlying muscle structure for a sculpted, athletic look.
Dr. Gopal tailors his HD liposuction technique to the level of definition you’re looking for, while considering what’s achievable for your body.

The last one got 11/10.
Some of the biggest factors affecting liposuction results have nothing to do with what happens in the operating room.
Dr. Gopal rates 13 factors that can influence the final result, from working out before surgery and maintaining a stable weight to compression garments, skin elasticity, and lymphatic massage.
A few of his ratings might surprise you.
For example, he rates skin elasticity a 10/10 because even after the fat is removed, the skin still needs to contract and settle over the new contour.
And lymphatic massage? He gives it an 11/10 because of the role it plays in his recovery protocol, helping manage swelling and supporting how the skin settles over the newly sculpted areas.
The takeaway: great liposuction results depend on more than the surgery itself.
Patient preparation, anatomy, recovery, and long-term weight maintenance all play a role.

Six to seven hours.
That’s how long an HD liposuction procedure can take with Dr. Gopal’s approach.
He’s not simply removing fat. He’s evaluating every square inch, considering the underlying anatomy, and shaping how each contour transitions into the next.
It’s detailed, physically demanding work.
So when Dr. Gopal says, “Someone’s gotta sweat for the fat to come off,” he means it.

Will neck lipo give you the jawline you want?
It depends…
Someone can have fullness under the chin and assume the answer is neck liposuction. But what looks like “fat” from the outside can actually come from several different structures.
Some fat sits directly beneath the skin and can respond very well to liposuction.
But fullness can also come from deeper fat beneath the platysma, the salivary glands under the jaw, muscles under the chin, or even the natural projection of the chin and jaw itself.
That distinction can completely change what neck liposuction can realistically accomplish.
This is why evaluating the anatomy matters before deciding on a procedure.
For the right anatomy, neck liposuction can create a significant change in the neck and jawline.
But when deeper structures are contributing to the fullness, liposuction alone may not create the contour someone is expecting.
A good neck lipo consultation should figure that out first.

Want more definition than workouts gave you?
Traditional liposuction focuses primarily on removing fat. HD liposuction goes further. It requires understanding the underlying muscle anatomy, where to remove fat, where to preserve it, and how each contour works together to create natural-looking definition.
That’s the art of it. The goal isn’t to give every patient the same abs or the same body. It’s to work with the anatomy that’s already there and determine how much definition will look right for that individual.
Dr. Gopal Grandhige specializes in high-definition liposuction and advanced body contouring, using nearly two decades of surgical experience to create results that look sculpted, athletic, and intentional.

Defined abs with HD liposuction.
Unlike traditional liposuction, where the primary goal is removing excess fat, HD liposuction is about strategically removing fat to reveal and enhance the underlying muscle structure.
Those markings you see before surgery help Dr. Gopal map out the patient’s anatomy and plan where to remove fat and where to preserve it to create more visible definition.
The second clip was taken immediately after surgery, so this is not the final result. Swelling and bruising will change significantly as the body heals and the final contour develops over the months that follow.

Skin quality changes everything.
Neck liposuction can create a more defined jawline and neck contour by removing unwanted fat, but the result also depends heavily on skin quality and elasticity.
When skin has good elasticity, neck lipo alone may be enough for the skin to contract around the new contour. With some skin laxity, Dr. Gopal may combine liposuction with a skin-tightening treatment such as Renuvion or FaceTite. With significant laxity, a neck lift may be the more appropriate option.
That’s why evaluating the skin is an important part of determining the right approach before neck liposuction.

Liposuction can change more than the body.
I’ve watched patients become more confident, make changes in their careers, show up differently in their relationships, and start making different choices for themselves.
That’s when I know I’ve done my job well.
Because high-definition liposuction isn’t only about creating a leaner, more defined physique. Sometimes the physical transformation becomes the catalyst for changes that reach far beyond the operating room.

Male liposuction requires a different approach.
The contours that create a more feminine shape aren’t necessarily the same ones that create a strong, athletic male physique.
With male high-definition liposuction, Dr. Gopal considers how the chest, abdomen, waist, ribs and back work together—and how the underlying muscle anatomy should guide where definition and shadow are created.
That’s also why the chest matters. A highly defined abdomen and back paired with a rounder, less-defined chest can make the overall result feel out of proportion.
The goal is a cohesive, athletic contour that works with the patient’s natural anatomy.

Choosing a liposuction surgeon isn’t just about looking at before-and-afters.
Liposuction isn’t simply about removing fat. Decisions around how much to remove, which areas to treat, skin quality, post-op care and recovery can all influence the approach to your result.
How a surgeon answers these questions can tell you a lot about how they think, plan and care for their patients.
