Bolarinwa stated that 'she wasn’t feeling very beautiful, by her own admission.' The young lady was also said to be going through pains by reason of the deformity.
The surgeon eventually helped her by correcting the deformed legs.
He gives reason for Beauty's bow-legs
According to Bolarinwa, being an African is a risk factor for having bow-legs.
In his words:
"Blount’s disease is a common cause of “bow-leg” in Nigeria. In fact being African is a risk factor.
"Restoring the joint line, which is often ignored, is a very important step in correcting the deformity. Not only should we make the leg look straight, we must endeavour to make the joint line look right too. Of course it’s not always easy."
