Dr. Klein believes the safest form of liposuction is tumescent liposuction totally by local anesthesia.

Dr. Klein and his surgical staff are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals of self-improvement with minimal risk and optimal aesthetic results. Maximal patient safety is achieved by providing:

1. Comprehensive pre-operative patient education
2. The safest type of anesthesia
3. The most meticulous and precise surgical technique
4. The most comfortable and rapid post-operative healing

Maximal Liposuction Safety was the incentive that led Dr. Klein to invent tumescent liposuction totally by local anesthesia. Every aspect of his technique has been motivated by the goal of achieving maximal safety, comfort, and aesthetic results. In fact the tumescent technique is now the world-wide standard of care for patient safety during liposuction surgery.

About Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction totally by local anesthesia eliminates the dangers of general anesthesia. Virtually all deaths associated with liposuction have been associated with the use of general anesthesia. Less pain is encountered with tumescent liposuction totally by local anesthesia than with liposuction under general anesthesia. Local anesthesia avoids the unpleasant side-effects of general anesthesia. Local anesthesia persists many hours after the surgery, thereby avoiding the need for dangerous narcotic analgesics; patients only require Tylenol to treat post-operative discomfort. Patients who have liposuction under general anesthesia often require the use of narcotics for post-operative pain. Quicker post-operative recovery has resulted from Dr Klein’s recent research directed at improving patient safety and comfort during the healing phase after liposuction.

The new post-liposuction care technique, termed Open-Drainage, consists of:

1. Not using stitches to close the tiny skin incision
2. Placing super-absorbent pads on the skin over the areas treated by liposuction to absorb the drainage of blood-tinged anesthetic solution
3. Wearing elastic compression garments until all drainage has ceased.

This technique produces decreased post-operative swelling, bruising, and tenderness.

Healing occurs more rapidly and elastic compression garments are usually worn for only 3 to 6 days.
