FEATURED GUEST SPEAKERS

Jeffrey Alan Klein, MD, MPH

Webster Lecture
Session 16
Friday, February 10, 2023
9:00 AM

In 1985 Jeffrey A. Klein, MD invented the tumescent technique for local anesthesia consisting of dilute subcutaneous Tumescent Epinephrine Lidocaine (TEL) for bloodless painless liposuction totally by local anesthesia. In 1989 he developed the first sterile tumescent infiltration tubing for use with an off-the-shelf laboratory peristaltic pump, which permitted power-assisted subcutaneous infiltration of large volumes of TEL. In 1990 he founded HK Surgical, Inc., a surgical device company focused on tumescent drug delivery (TDD) of lidocaine and many other injectable drugs.

Jeff grew up surfing in San Clemente, California. When he graduated from UC Riverside (BA, Mathematics, 1967) he had saved $1000 which sustained him for the next 12 months. He hitchhiked to NYC, then worked on a freighter for passage to Europe. He studied in Paris for six months, and while there witnessed the May 1968 student protests and nationwide strike. While hitching through Europe, he was in Prague during the invasion by the Soviet Union. Upon returning to California, he studied at UCSD (MS, Mathematics, 1971). He was admitted to the first class of the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program (MD, 1972-1976). After an MPH degree UC Berkeley (Biostatistics 1977), he did Internal Medicine (UCLA, 1977-1980, FACP), an NIH Clinical Pharmacology research fellowship (UCSF, 1980-81) and Dermatology (UC Irvine, 1981-1984, FAAD), American Board of Cosmetic Surgery certification (1989), and subspecialty board certification in Mohs surgery (2021). He is a clinical professor of Dermatology at UC Irvine. At work he directs his dermatology practice, as well as HK Surgical, Inc., and his own randomized clinical trials. At home he is directed by Kathleen Hutton-Klein, MD (dermatologist) and their five children.
