Lifting Thighs with Technical DE.C.LI.VE (Dermo Cruro Lipectomy Vertical)
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
Technical DE.C.LI.VE, or Dermo Cruro Lipectomy Vertical, is an advanced surgical approach to thigh lifting that focuses on removing excess skin and tissue along the inner thigh region. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or who have loose, sagging skin due to aging. The vertical thigh lift is distinguished by its incision placement, which extends vertically along the inner thigh, allowing for greater skin excision and a firmer contour that is often difficult to achieve with more traditional thigh lift techniques.
During a DE.C.LI.VE procedure, the surgeon makes a carefully planned vertical incision along the inner thigh. This incision is designed to minimize visible scarring while ensuring the removal of as much excess tissue as possible. Once the incision is made, the surgeon will lift and reposition the skin and underlying tissues, removing any loose or sagging areas to create a more contoured appearance. After achieving the desired tightness and symmetry, the surgeon will close the incision with sutures, sometimes using techniques to encourage healing and reduce scarring.
This procedure is typically recommended for patients who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) within a certain range, as well as those who do not smoke or have serious health concerns that may complicate recovery. Patients with realistic expectations and a desire for a smoother, tighter thigh contour are the best candidates for the DE.C.LI.VE thigh lift. By targeting loose skin and fatty deposits along the inner thigh, this technique provides a more aesthetically pleasing shape that complements the patient’s natural anatomy.
Procedure Duration
The Technical DE.C.LI.VE thigh lift typically takes between two to three hours, depending on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed and the complexity of the patient’s anatomy. The procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that the patient remains comfortable throughout the surgery. In some cases, local anesthesia with sedation may be an option, though this depends on the patient’s overall health and the surgeon's preference.
The recovery period after the DE.C.LI.VE thigh lift varies based on individual health and the extent of the surgery. Most patients are advised to stay overnight for monitoring, particularly if the procedure was extensive. The initial recovery phase lasts about two weeks, during which time patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and to follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully. Compression garments are typically recommended during this time to reduce swelling and support the healing tissues.
Complete recovery can take several months, with final results often visible by the third to sixth month post-surgery. Patients may experience some swelling and bruising initially, but these effects gradually diminish. Regular follow-up appointments are crucial during this period to monitor healing progress and to address any concerns. Overall, with adherence to post-operative guidelines, patients can expect to enjoy long-lasting, satisfying results.

Risks & Considerations
- Scarring: Due to the vertical incision, scarring may be more prominent than other thigh lift procedures. Proper scar management techniques are essential to minimize visibility.
- Infection: As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection. Strict adherence to aftercare instructions reduces this risk significantly.
- Anesthesia Risks: General anesthesia carries potential risks, especially for patients with certain health conditions. A thorough pre-operative assessment helps in reducing these risks.
- Delayed Healing: Some patients may experience delayed healing due to skin tension or complications in blood circulation. Following medical advice and avoiding smoking can improve recovery.
- Numbness or Sensitivity Changes: Temporary numbness or heightened sensitivity is common in the surgical area, though this usually subsides as nerves recover.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
Selecting a skilled, certified surgeon is crucial for achieving the desired results with the DE.C.LI.VE thigh lift. Look for board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in body contouring procedures and have a documented history of successful outcomes in thigh lifting. Reviewing before-and-after photos of previous patients can provide insight into the surgeon’s technique and aesthetic style.
When choosing a hospital or clinic, prioritize facilities that hold international accreditation or meet local standards for surgical care and safety. A reputable medical facility will adhere to rigorous safety protocols, offer state-of-the-art equipment, and provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative care to support patient well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
