Abstract:
Proboscis lateralis (PL) is a rare congenital malformation of the nose. We describe two atypical cases of proboscis we treated to obtain symmetrical nostrils. We used the PL as a donor tissue. Due to the variable aspects of this malformation, achieving an aesthetical goal remains a surgical challenge.
