A family pet looking for a place to lay down jumps on the bed only to be startled at finding 9-year-old Kase Henderson already in the bed. In an instant, the dog reacts, and Kase is bitten on the face, tearing his nose. 

The family rushes to the emergency department at Piedmont Henry Hospital, where Dr. Takintope Akinbiyi, a Board-certified plastic surgeon with Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, is called in to care for Kase.

Dr. Akinbiyi determined that Kase had suffered an extensive laceration to the left side of his nose that went through the nasal cavity, extending into the cartilage and across to the right side of the nose.

“As a father of two young boys, I imagined myself in the parents’ shoes,” recalls Dr. Akinbiyi, “I wanted to go above and beyond to give Kase the best possible outcome aesthetic-wise and functionally.”

It was decided the best and most comfortable option for Kase was to have surgery in the operating room. 

The surgery was a success. Kase is now home and healing well. It appears he will have minimal scarring.

“Dr. Akinbiyi was amazing. His patience and understanding of the situation and Kase being scared was completely phenomenal,” says Heather Henderson, Kase’s mother. “We have so much love for Dr. Akinbiyi.”
