Nasal cartilage is asymmetric in individuals with cleft lips and has a depressed nasal dome and medial and lateral crus of the nose on the affected cleft side which can be corrected before cheiloplasty by taking advantage of circulating maternal estrogen. This case report presents pre-surgical nasal cartilage molding in a patient with unilateral cleft lip and alveolus using the Sawangi Pre-surgical Nasal Cartilage Molder appliance. The appliance is made from 0.8 mm stainless-steel round wire and has three components, namely, a rectangular frame, a force-generating component, and a swan-shaped wire framework with a soft liner for nasal asymmetry correction.
