The Klein Technique (Tumescent Anesthesia), which permits a variety of surgical procedures to be done using only local anesthesia, was developed in 1985 by Dr. Jeffrey Klein. It was originally created to perform liposuction but now includes procedures such as vaginal rejuvenation, breast augmentation and abdominoplasty (tummy-tuck).

The Klein technique uses lidocaine as the local anesthetic and has been shown to have an extraordinary and unprecedented safety record when used as directed. Since 1985, over 500,000 AWAKE procedures have been performed in the United States with a fantastic track record. As a matter of fact, it has a lower risk of complications when compared to either General Anesthesia or IV sedation.
