Plastic Surgery In Lowry Park Central, FL
Board certified surgical expertise meets personalized care. Achieve natural, athletic results that reflect your dedication to health and fitness.
A Different Approach to Aesthetic Surgery
Formation was built for patients who want thoughtful, precise surgical care rather than cookie cutter treatments and rushed consultations.
Board Certified Excellence
Dr. Gopal Grandhigeย is a board certified general surgeon with fellowship training in burn surgery, critical care, and minimally invasive procedures. He earned his medical degree from theย University of Michigan Medical School, bringing uncommon depth of training to every surgical decision at Formation.
Precision Over Volume
Formation intentionally limits surgical volume so every patient receives personalized attention before, during, and after their procedure. This boutique approach, rooted inย our guiding philosophy, allows for better planning, tighter execution, and stronger long term results.
Recovery Is Not an Afterthought
Surgery accounts for only part of your outcome. Formation actively manages recovery with structured guidance on inflammation control, lymphatic care, compression, and nutrition. Our approach aligns with standards set by theย American Society of Plastic Surgeonsย for comprehensive patient care.

Facial Harmonization Step 2
It takes more than one treatment and often more than one treatment session to accomplish facial harmony and balance.
Hereโs 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 weโve started with Botox in the masseter to slim the jaw, and create a more feminine, heart shaped face. Now for step 2 weโre placing PDO lifting threads to enhance definition around the jawline without adding volume.

The power of a profile transformation. ๐ฅ
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 didnโt just enhance one featureโwe 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.

Surgical Body Contouring and Aesthetic Procedures
Formation specializes in procedures where surgical precision makes the greatest difference. We focus particularly onย male aesthetic surgeryย and athletic aesthetics.
High Definition Liposuction
HD lipo for menย removes stubborn fat deposits that blur natural muscle definition. This precision technique reveals the athletic structure that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve. Ideal for patients already near their goal weight who want refined, natural looking results.
Male Body Contouring
Male aesthetics require a completely different surgical approach than female body contouring. Formation specializes in creating clean, masculine chest contours, defined abdominal architecture, and balanced proportions that look natural and athletic.
Abdominoplasty
Tummy tuck surgery addresses loose abdominal skin and muscle separation that liposuction alone cannot fix. This procedure restores core integrity, improves posture, and creates a flatter, firmer midsection for patients who have completed major weight changes.
Neck and Jawline Contouring
Targetedย jawline contouringย combined withย FDAย cleared Renuvion or FaceTite technology sharpens the jawline while preserving natural angles. This procedure can dramatically change how others perceive you without anyone suspecting surgery was performed.
Real Transformations, Lasting Confidence
“The entire experience from consultation through recovery was thoughtful and supportive. Colleagues commented that I looked more rested and energized without anyone suspecting surgery. Dr. Grandhige and his team delivered exactly what I hoped for.”
Formation maintains a 5.0 star rating with more than forty reviews from patients throughout Tampa Bay. Dr. Grandhige holds certification from theย American Board of Surgery, with training affiliations including Johns Hopkins, Yale New Haven Hospital, and USF Health. He works alongsideย Dr. Ahmad Saad, a board certified plastic surgeon, to deliver comprehensive surgical care. View ourย before and after galleryย to see real patient transformations.

- You have researched body contouring online but feel overwhelmed by conflicting information and aggressive marketing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Good candidates are generally healthy, at or near their goal weight, and have realistic expectations. During your consultation, Dr. Grandhige evaluates your anatomy, skin quality, and goals to determine the best approach. Body contouring is a finishing tool, not a weight loss solution.
Most patients return to light activities within days and resume gym workouts within one to two weeks while wearing compression garments. Final results develop over three to six months as swelling resolves. Formation actively manages recovery with lymphatic treatments and structured guidance.
