TL;DR
This paper discusses a rare case where thigh lift surgery was used to treat a patient with Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome and left thigh hyperplasia.
Contribution
The novelty lies in applying thigh lift surgery for a congenital condition rather than post-weight loss.
Findings
Thigh lift surgery can be a viable treatment for Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome-related hyperplasia.
The case highlights an alternative use of a procedure typically reserved for post-bariatric patients.
Abstract
Thigh lift surgery is generally performed in patients with severe weight loss outcomes, particularly those undergoing bariatric surgery. However, there are other congenital malformation conditions that may require the same treatment, such as Beckwith Wideman syndrome.
