Precise Fat Removal & Sculpting (Awake & Tumescent Liposculpture)
Awake Liposculpture involves precise fat removal with meticulous sculpting for refined contours. Tumescent Liposculpture is a highly effective method where Dr. Kleven uses a fine cannula to gently remove stubborn fat deposits. This technique simultaneously tightens the skin, sculpting the body with a focus on natural contours for a smooth, toned appearance.
Targeted Volume Reduction (Liposuction)
For those seeking a more traditional approach, Liposuction removes larger volumes of fat from areas of concern, creating a more sculpted and defined silhouette.
Minimized Discomfort & Accelerated Recovery
Dr. Kleven’s expertise in both techniques ensures minimal discomfort and faster recovery times, allowing patients to enjoy their results sooner. These procedures are performed without the risk of surgery or general anesthesia.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas can be treated?
Tumescent Liposculpture is ideal for areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and under the chin. More traditional Liposuction can remove larger volumes of fat from various areas of concern for a sculpted and defined silhouette.
What type of anesthesia is used?
We primarily use local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience, avoiding the risks associated with general anesthesia.
How long is the recovery period?
Tumescent Liposculpture generally involves a quicker recovery, with patients often able to return to work within a few days, and strenuous activities resumed after a few weeks. For more traditional Liposuction, recovery time typically ranges from 3 to 8 weeks, depending on the size and location of the treated area. Swelling and bruising are common and usually subside within the first few weeks, though final results can take up to three months to fully appear.
Will my results last?
Yes. With a stable weight and healthy habits, your results can be long-lasting.
Is the procedure safe?
Absolutely. Our procedures are designed for safety, with no risk of surgery or general anesthesia, ensuring effective results.
