Dr Jeffery Klein, a dermatologist from San Juan Capistrano California, fine tuned the procedure in 1984 by inventing the micro cannulas and the tumescent technique of liposuction which he discussed in detail in his millstone book "Tumescent Technique".
Dr. Klein tumescent liposuction technique became one of the safest procedures to be performed in an office setting.
