Abstract
Vertical dermocrurolipectomy is a technique that in Italy has been named ``DECLIVE,'' (which in Latin means something that moves downward). The first medial thigh lift with the DECLIVE technique was done in 1993. Since then, based on its excellent results 50 patients have been operated on, following DECLIVE. Therefore, DECLIVE should be considered just a variant in the medial thigh lift, because resecting a triangular portion from the perivulvar skin, it stops the displacement of the scar downward. Special acknowledgment goes to Ted Lockwood's studies for his role in the development of this technique.Keywords
