Medical Breakthrough Gives Not-so-old Dog, New Nose
Woodruff’s most renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Kay Brown, La.La. can add one more first to her list. This week, in an impressive and daring feat of plastic surgery, Dr. Brown performed rhinoplasty on a pink poodle, Missy Kay Pressly. Dr. Brown had this to say, "It was a tricky operation, but I have seen worse. I once saw a patch-work dog who was filled with beads rather than stuffing; that was a difficult surgery for any stuffed animal specialist. Then, I once had to perform surgery on a one-eyed pink elephant who was a couple of decades old—another very sensitive procedure." (story continued below)
Before surgery, Missy’s nose, which was injured repeatedly during several Chinese tornadoes that ravaged parts of the southern United States, often leaked stuffing—a problem that can be fatal in pink poodles and other Build-A-Bear animals. While Missy doesn’t look the same as she once did, her nose is now leak-free, and she is very happy with her new look. When reached for comment, Missy’s best friend Piper Kay Pressly had this to say, "New nose. See. New nose Missy!"
