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.

Our Proven Process: From Consultation to Transformation
Your abdominoplasty journey is carefully structured from the first conversation to your final follow up visit. We believe preparation and recovery matter just as much as the surgery itself.
In Depth Consultation
Comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Grandhige to understand your goals and create a personalized plan. Contact us to schedule.
Preoperative Preparation
Structured guidance including nutrition protocols, compression planning, and recovery education.
Surgery Day
Procedure in Quad A accredited facility with dedicated surgical team and 24 hour nursing care.
Active Recovery
Hands on support with scheduled follow ups, lymphatic treatments, and milestone tracking.
Long Term Results
Full year of follow up care with ongoing support and continuity of relationship.
Real Results: Patient Success Stories
The best measure of a surgeon’s skill is outcomes. Formation patients consistently report not just improved appearance, but renewed confidence and quality of life.
Post Pregnancy Restoration
After abdominoplasty with muscle repair, she reported improved posture, reduced back discomfort, and renewed confidence.
Athletic Male Contouring
A physically active male achieved the athletic core definition with high definition liposuction that training alone could not deliver.
Post Weight Loss Transformation
After significant weight loss, a circumferential tummy tuck provided a complete physical reset.
Benefits of Abdominoplasty at Formation
Restored Core Integrity
Repairs muscle separation, restoring core strength and improving posture.
Removal of Excess Skin
Eliminates loose, hanging tissue that does not respond to exercise.
Flatter, Firmer Midsection
Creates a smoother, more toned abdominal contour.
Enhanced Athletic Appearance
Reveals the athletic structure that training alone cannot uncover. Many also explore jawline contouring.
Long Lasting Results
Provides a durable foundation that holds up over time.
Improved Confidence
Patients feel more present and comfortable in their skin.
“Dr. Grandhige’s approach was completely different from other consultations I had. He was honest about what surgery could and could not do for me, and he never made me feel rushed. The results exceeded my expectations, and the recovery support was incredible.”
— Formation Patient
Are You Facing Any of These Situations?
Many patients come to Formation with similar concerns. If any of these sound familiar, a consultation may be your next step.
- You have loose, hanging skin on your abdomen that does not improve with diet or exercise
- You feel self conscious in fitted clothing or avoid certain activities because of your midsection
- You have separated abdominal muscles causing a bulging belly despite being fit
- You have lost significant weight and are left with excess tissue that affects your quality of life
- You are a man seeking a flatter, more defined core without an over sculpted appearance
- You have completed pregnancies and want to restore your pre baby body
- You have tried non surgical treatments such as injectables without satisfactory results
- You want a surgeon who specializes in male body contouring and athletic aesthetics
- You are looking for a practice that treats recovery as seriously as surgery
- You want honest guidance, not a sales pitch, about whether surgery is right for you

Formation is located at 1315 South Howard Avenue in the heart of Tampa, FL, just minutes from Bayshore Boulevard and the vibrant SoHo district. Our South Tampa location is easily accessible from Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Westchase, and Carrollwood.

Frequently Asked Questions
A full abdominoplasty addresses excess skin and muscle separation in both the upper and lower abdomen. The incision runs from hip to hip below the bikini line, and the navel is typically repositioned. A mini tummy tuck uses a shorter incision and focuses only on the area below the belly button. Dr. Grandhige will recommend the best approach based on your anatomy and goals.
Most patients return to work within 10 to 14 days and resume exercise without restrictions at six weeks. Swelling continues to improve over three to six months, with final results visible around six to twelve months.
Abdominoplasty is a contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution. It removes excess skin and repairs muscle separation but is not designed to reduce overall body weight. Ideal candidates are at or near their goal weight before surgery.
Absolutely. Formation specializes in male body contouring, and many of our abdominoplasty patients are men. The surgical approach for men focuses on creating a flat, athletic midsection without feminizing curves.
Cost varies based on the type of procedure, whether liposuction is included, facility fees, and anesthesia. Formation provides a detailed cost estimate during your consultation. We also offer financing options.
