Congenital nasal anomalies are rare. Hypoplasia and atrophic anomalies represent the most common class of congenital nasal anomalies. A 27-year-old female presented with obvious right nostril asymmetry, alar notching, and retraction. The patient underwent a closed (endonasal) septorhinoplasty approach under general anesthesia. The lower lateral cartilage exposed by the cartilage delivery technique was discovered the absence of right lower lateral cartilage. In this case, reconstruction was performed by using two grafts the resected cephalic portion of lateral crura of left lower cartilage as medial crus and harvested septal cartilage as lateral crus, with satisfactory functional and cosmetic results.
